1. Personally,
I've heard diddly-squat about it since the election ended about a month ago & I like to think of myself as reasonably tuned in.

2. It's seen as "old news" in Britain
The Conservatives and Lib Dems pushed it a little before the election, but they didn't make much of an effort.

4. Well, the thing is, everyone knows Blair is a liar anyway.

In Britain it's widely accepted that the government lied to take us to war, and Blair doesn't care because he knows he's the only option. Proof like that is unneeded.
