Tony Blair’s ‘sorrow, regret and apology’ over war

Tony Blair has voiced “more sorrow, regret, and apology than you may ever know or can believe” for his role in the invasion of Iraq.

Following the publication of the Chilcot Report, the former prime minister said that the decision to remove Saddam Hussein was the “hardest, most momentous, most agonising” of his 10 years in office.

“For that decision I accept full responsibility, without exception, without excuse,” he told a news conference, his voice near breaking.
