Does anyone know how many members of the Blair/Brown government are standing in this election? I tried google to no avail but the figure must be out there somewhere?
Those who were MPs in the last administration really, though info on their voting/open support of the war and Brown’s fiscal shenanigans might be helpful too.
That would be several hundred MPs given how long the government lasted and how often it rotated out MPs. I doubt there is a comprehensive list, you could use sites like "Theyworkforyou" to see individual labour MPs voting records though.
I know a lot of the Labour Independents and the ones who went off to form TIG/become Libdems had minor roles in Blair and Browns cabinets.
The nearest Labour MP to me whose still running in this election has always been a backbencher but she was pretty close to the Blairites and very hostile to Corbyn, even tried to get members in here branch expelled last year. Don't know if she's had a change of heart.
And of course some of those that bailed out earlier then got plum lobs on local Labour Councils (and in the commercial world) as part of the ongoing two way gravy train!
There's this, which you can set to show both year of election and party affiliation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Kingdom_MPs_by_seniority_(2017%E2%80%932019)
Copy/paste that into a spreadsheet and you should be able to get what you want. EDIT: Oh, forgot it doesn't like brackets in links, but whatever, should be simple enough to fix.
