“One of Tony Blair’s closest allies and political friends Lord Falconer has admitted he thought the Iraq war was a mistake,” the Scotsman reports.
Said Falconer: “We didn’t find weapons of mass destruction there and that was the basis by which we went in. So on that basis, we weren’t right to go in.”
“Mr Blair’s former flatmate, when the two were starting out as barristers in the 1970s, admitted that the ex-Prime Minister also believes that.”
