1. Tony Blair ‘deeply and profoundly regrets’ agreeing to return to Iraq inquiry
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.”

2. Tony Blair insisted today that Britain had to give up the "wretched policy of apology"

for the allies' actions in Iraq.

How about giving up the "wretched policy" of invading other countries on the basis of lies?
