Either way, I think a pseudonym is likely here.

Orwell’s (adopted) son is Richard Blair. Anthony/Tony Blair was the ex-PM.

The question was: Was Prime Minister Tony Blair in any way related to George Orwell (penname of Eric Blair)?

The answer: Leo Blair (father of Eric Blair / George Orwell) was the illegitimate son of two entertainers and was adopted as a baby by the Glasgow shipyard worker James Blair and his wife, Mary.

Further, Eric Blair / George Orwell had no children save one adopted son.

So: No blood connection.
