at the meeting of the blairs by george, bush, jr. in 5 days.ity council. everything was already decided at their meeting, mr. bush and mr. blair frankly expressed their doubts that chemical biological or nuclear weapons would be found in iraq in the coming weeks . the president said that an elephant invasion was imminent, the two leaders. we discussed the timetable for the start of the war, the details of the military campaign and plans for the period. after the end of the war. date of, the start of the campaign has already been approved for march 10th. it was then that the bombing should begin, then the date was shifted, but only by 10 days. that's how it all starts. the united states in iraq will take more than a million lives, blow up the middle east and give rise to monsters like gigil. well, the story of the test tube, the indelible stain will fall on the biography of colin powell eifelberg, i regret any loss of life on both sides of the conflict, but at the time the intelligence information that we all received was absolutely unequivocal

tony blair opened britain's doors to migrate my mister europe. as a european union grew larger and larger and the needs of capital grew more and more demanding in 2007 flag reluctantly stepped aside for golden brown. and a year later, the financial deregulation put in place during the liberal revolution of the 1980s helped bring about a credit crisis that almost broke the global economy. gordon brown was forced to bail out failing british banks with british tax payers. money grounds, claim, as prime minister didn't last long. he was voted out in 2010 and replaced by new conservative prime minister david cameron. cameron settled to lead. a country is still reeling in the wake of a financial disaster and a coalition government that has set its lights on one thing above everything else would use the nation's depth. neither pre orthodoxy is that you must push your overall levels of that down. past the basic, nearly april policy in response to the global financial crisis. and so this is where we go stereotype from the idea that we must slash public sp

blair spittal then got the second just after the break.ger — stuart kettlewell�*s claim for the permanent position. england's lionessess survived a scare to beat italy 2—1 in the arnold clarke cup in coventry — extending their unbeaten run to 28 matches. jane dougall reports. facing a far lower ranked team, this was a chance to see a different england line—up. katie robinson making her debut in front of a 32,000 strong crowd. and she made an early international impact, a perfect ball in to set up england's�*s first. defender rachel daly enjoying a spell upfront. but then controversy, the ball looked to have gone out before italy crossed and then dismay as the ball clearly did bounce over the goal—line. the goal is given! but no var, no whistle, and italy had equalised. that looked really close indeed. england's response was quick, rachel daly and the perfect position once more, giving the crowd a new hero. a double for rachel daly! another victory for manager sarina wiegman, and with the world cup this summer, a headache for the new player

people over the top, as blair did ,1997? blair was a very sort did, 1997?litician and there aren't very many of them. and if you look back over the last sort of 30 or 40 years, maybe one or two in all of that period, but that does not mean that keir does not reflect and, connect with what the public are feeling about for the public are feeling about for the public, connect with him as easily as they did with blair. well, he had a had an exceptional ability to connect with the public at keita's in a different position at a different position at a different time. a different position because he's been in opposition over a long period of he's got to get to a point where the public have made up their mind whether they want to change the government. i think it's a different sort of period, tony. the leader of the opposition at a point where the tory government was already discredited , keir became the discredited, keir became the leader of the opposition after bofis leader of the opposition after boris johnson won a massive landslide . he over time has landslide.

prime minister, since blair was.minister, when labour took off the brakes on government spending in 2001. and then, you know, government spending went through the roof and this nothing tory administration has made no difference to that in the 12 years that it's been in office. in fact, because during the covid pandemic they went in the direction in spades and in a paying direction in spades and in a paying the whole country to sit at home and do nothing effectively for two years was inevitably going to have a disastrous effect on the economy, the government deficit . this is going to be £100 billion with no prospect of that coming down. so unless we can get growth going, neil the clocks against us. would you shnnk clocks against us. would you shrink the size of the state? would you. would you have radical, radical austerity ? no, radical, radical austerity? no, i don't think we need austerity andifs i don't think we need austerity and it's a fantasy to think that you can do this in the short term. during the thatcher

blair was plus 50. was in a different galaxy when it came to his leadership ratings. and soon it will pointing to this and hoping praying that starmer not cut through otherwise he in serious trouble . do you buy that old trouble. do you buy that old adage that a week is in long, a long time in politics and therefore two years is and eternity has sunak got enough to turn this around, or is it already game over ? i think it's already game over? i think it's not game over. i think potentially if the external climate begins to move in his favour if the markets and inflation the boat if all of that stuff begins to change he's got a chance i mean no one would look at the last three years in british politics say, you know, we can guarantee what's going to happen 18 months from now. we've just a pandemic, just gone through a pandemic, we've war in ukraine. who we've got a war in ukraine. who knows coming around knows what's coming around the corner. will hoping corner. and sunak will be hoping that much of that

and the thing that blair found after that tony blair found after several years in government was actuallyreatest was not gordon brown or even the tories . it was actually the government machine itself. and it took him two terms government to two terms in government to actually out what he wants actually work out what he wants to deliver to do and actually to deliver it. primarily things like it. so primarily things like academies service academies of public service reform keir reform more broadly. keir starmer's he's starmer's speech suggests he's done no thinking about how he's actually going deliver actually going to deliver anything government . and as anything in government. and as i said, as we've previously seen with starmer, more with keir starmer, he's more than say one thing in than willing to say one thing in opposition when opposition or one thing when he's election and he's running for an election and but with no actual intention to stick actually as stick to when he's actually as leader or in government. so i'm thinking about his enthusiasm to rejoin the european union or his

though blair also said he was very sorry, i did not mislead this country. i made the decision in good faith on the information i had at the time. and i believe that it is better that we took that decision and a nation whose people we wanted to set free and secure from the evil of sedan, became instead victim to sac, terry and terrorism. for all of this, i express more sort of regret and apology that you may have a know will complete other world leaders sense something foul from the get go, which is why powell thought fit to give his speech. and the 1st place, france, germany, and russia all decided they would vote against the u. s. s hawkish initiative that the united nations devoted, i'm for, and then is creek. the world is close to war. my question was instill as this is the threat coming from the iraqi dictator justify a war, a war which will kill thousands of children, women and men 1000. and my answer is no. tell us what is your stars no matter what? the circumstances will vote no because we consider at this time that there is no place for going to wor

tony blair, the prime minister, wrote to me just before the war, started to say he thought that i am reporting of the monarch to iraq had been unfair. so i'm pretty, is aggressive letter back saying that i'm sorry, but he's got thousands and thousands of people on the streets, protesting against you. half your party going to vote against you. your whole future is in doubt. in those circumstances, you can't be the judge of impartiality. you've got to leave it to us back tonight, heavy bombardment on the day of the invasion of iraq whose britain largest military operation, world war 2, the one that lacked international legal authority. while the majority of the british press supported the war, the b. b. c's mandate was to be impartial. not that that was with all this. when coalition troops captured baghdad in april 2003, some bbc needs are similar to the been coming out with the black, dumb, entirely ungracious, even for his critics not to acknowledge that tonight. he stands as a larger man and a stronger prime minister. as a result, we'd become a government, most peace. there were spe

you mention tony blair there, two years. you mention tony blair there. this — two years.them is the same - tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime. yeah, i thou~ht tough on the causes of crime. yeah, i thought that _ tough on the causes of crime. yeah, i thought that was _ tough on the causes of crime. yeah, i thought that was very _ tough on the causes of crime. yeah, i thought that was very interesting l i thought that was very interesting and very telling. clearly what keir starmer wants to do is replicate the success of tony blair, which is coming in with a big majority. but the mention of tony blair is interesting, roy hattersley famously said of tony blair," he was like a man carrying a priceless main vase over a highly polished floor." i think that is the balance that the labour party has to do. i do agree with a lot of what sonia said. there is not a lot of flesh on the bones, this is very aspirational, very ambitious, high level. the problem for labour is that as soon as they stop putting more pressure on the bone, particularly around costings, they will com

when after the meeting between bush and blair in bushes ranch in crawford, texas, i made the decision that the only way that the united states could be stopped from going to worth iraq was if weapons inspectors are allowed back into iraq. but i, rec, wasn't even considering that. so i actually flew to south africa to meet with tara kaziz um, to ask him to allow me into iraq. and remember who i am. i'm the evil incarnate. i'm the inspector that was responsible for all the troubles that iraq had. i was up to as a mot. the father vol. crises, according to the iraqis. i'm now i'm saying you got to let me back in. he's like, why is it? because i need to speak to your parliament and i need to speak your leadership about letting you in weapons specters back into iraqi. so why would we do that? because you have no choice if you don't let him back in the bush administration's already found you guilty and they're going to go to war. and that will be the end of iraq. and i was able to convince him he contacted the saddam hussein and they said okay, you can come in. one of my pre conditions was t

though blair also said he was very sorry, i did not mislead this country. i made the decision in good faith on the information i had at the time. and i believe that it is better that we took that decision and a nation whose people we wanted to set free and secure from the evil of sedan, became instead victim to sectarian terrorism. for all of this, i express more sorrow, regret, and apology, that you may have no will complete. other world leaders sensed something foul from the get go, which is why powell sought fit to give his speech. in the 1st place, france, germany and russia all decided they would vote against the u. s. as hawkish initiatives at the united nations david m for robin bonus creek. the world is close to war by my question was and still as he does, is the threat coming from the iraqi dictator, justify war to all the war, which will kill thousands of children, women and men 1000. and my answer is none on campus whether civil stars let no matter what the circumstances won't know because we consider at this time that there is no police forewarn
