    When looking somebody up on LinkedIn, I see he has 246 employees. Who the dickens is funding his and its pernicious propaganda?

    Part answered - Funding
    Blair gave the reserves of his former business to provide the seed funding for his new Institute. On 21 July 2018, it was reported by the Telegraph that Blair had signed a deal worth £9,000,000 with Saudi Arabia. The article quotes a spokesperson saying while the Institute was under no duty to disclose donors or donations they confirmed receiving a donation from Media Investment Ltd, a subsidiary of the Saudi Research and Marketing Group registered in Guernsey, to fund their work for modernisation and reform working for a regional solution to the peace process as well as on governance in Africa and promoting religious co-existence. The Tony Blair Institute confirmed that it has received donations from the U.S.State Department and Saudi Arabia.
