Tony Blair has said he “regrets deeply and profoundly” his decision to return to the Iraq Inquiry being held in London.
The former prime minister was answering questions almost a year since his last appearance before the panel led by Sir John Chilcot, and admitted it was probably a mistake to agree to go over it all again.
Sitting before the inquiry, Blair said, “Lord Goldsmith warned me not come back, but I considered his advice to be provisional, though perhaps with hindsight he was probably right.”
When asked if he would agree to have private letters to George W Bush made public, Blair said, “Only if you remove all references to me offering regular fellatio, and the paragraphs which outline the things I can do with my tongue.”
