i'm joined now by lance price, former labour director of communications, who left blair's governmentyou wonder today why theresa may was having to apologise for this, rather than the people who were kind of in power at the time that it happened, tony blair, jack straw and the others? i would have found it strange that she was apologising on behalf of the british government when it was a different government, of course, that was responsible and was in power at the time. it was a pretty damning indictment on the government. the most damning that i have heard from one government on a previous one. heard from one government we expect politicians to take responsibility. amber rudd has to take responsibility for the clock ups at the home office. even though she did not personally deprive people of health care. do you the environment created by the government, the politicians at that time, in this desperate attempt to have a rapprochement with, gaddafi, do you think that was responsible? that is largely what led to it. there is no doubt that tony blair was determined by one means or another
