Tony Blair, alongside his attack dog Alistair Campbell, was seen as a master manipulator of the media, winning Murdoch's support and that of The S*n after he notoriously flew out to Australia to privately meet with Murdoch and strike a deal.
Now a former PM, he complained about a Daily Mail story on his refusal to follow Parliament's demands to submit to questions over 'comfort letters' sent to IRA men, a form of legal guarantee against prosecution.
IPSO rejected his complaint and the argument that the Mail had breached Clause 1: Accuracy.
Okay, he's a Labour ex-PM, but this still shows IPSO standing up to very powerful forces.
