Does the UK acknowledge the International Criminal Court? I know the US doesn't...

Hopefully at the very least he will stop interfering in the Labour party and politics in general as his credibility will be gone.

Most crimes he could legally be charged with under international law were written after the Iraq invasion and deliberately worded so as not to be retrospective. Some don't even kick in until next year.
That's a bit of a simplistic interpretation of where things stand now but essentially that's the situation.
Whether he could be charged under UK law for deliberately misleading parliament I'm not sure. Even it were legally possible to lay such charges, I think Blair could claim ignorance and would have enough wiggle room to escape the noose.

Charles Kennedy, Robin Cook and David Kelly all vindicated in their stance on the war. Yet at the time they were heckled and abused by politicians in the Commons and smeared in the tabloids.
All of them are dead now.
