John Burton (political agent)
John Burton was a Labour Party councillor in County Durham, England. He was a member of Sedgefield Borough Council, representing the ward of Fishburn and Old Trimdon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Councillor Details - Councillor John Burton )〕 However, he is most notable for being the constituency agent of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who represented the Sedgefield constituency from 1983 until standing down as Prime Minister in 2007.
==Relationship with Tony Blair==
Burton was one of the first to spot the potential of the young Tony Blair.〔 (Description of first meeting )〕 When the new Sedgefield constituency was created for the 1983 general election, which included Burton's home of Trimdon, the local Labour Party found themselves needing to appoint a candidate for the forthcoming election at short notice.〔Rentoul, John (2001). Tony Blair: Prime Minister. Little Brown. p117 ISBN 0-316-85496-4.〕 Blair, then a London-based barrister, identified Burton as a branch secretary willing to consider his candidature and travelled to Trimdon (Burton's power base) to put his case. Blair secured the nomination, was elected an MP and began his political rise.〔 Rawnsley, Andrew (2000). Servants of the People: The Inside Story of New Labour. Hamish Hamilton. p98 ISBN 0-241-14029-3〕 Burton has remained one of Blair's inner circle. In the Sedgefield Council Register of Members' Interests Burton also lists himself as ''Political Assistant to Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, MP'' Myrobella House, Farfield Terrace, Trimdon Station, Co. Durham, TS29 6DU.
The Sunday newspaper The Observer reported in December 2007 that Burton plans to write a book about Tony Blair.
