Is it alright to compost the waste from the tom & potatoes plants(obviously
lots of potato top growth to get rid of)as long as it hasn't been caught by
blight yet?

Yes.

Why?

As I have posted before, blight is NOT carried by resistant spores
in the soil, but in living plants (both weeds and wildlings). Just
precisely how does burning help?

Any remaining spores are destroyed. Unless you are very careful the
drying leaves you've thrown on the heap can release many more spores.
