Former Prime Minister Tony Blair is joining US venture capital firm Khosla Ventures as an adviser.

These include solar, wind and nuclear energy projects.
Khosla also backs start-ups in sectors such as mobile phones and the internet. It has not been disclosed how much Mr Blair will be paid.
According to Khosla, which last year raised $1.3bn (£900m) from private investors, Mr Blair will provide strategic advice regarding investments in environmentally friendly or helpful technologies.
In a press release from the firm, based in Menlo Park, California, Mr Blair said: "Solving the climate crisis is more than just a political agenda item - it's an urgent priority that requires innovation, creativity, and ambition."
