Damning indictment of Blair, military and intelligence chiefs and criminally compliant MPs. That's the conclusion of the Chilcot report into Britain's role in the Iraqi invasion.

Eight months before the invasion took place, and months even before he'd had detailed briefings on practicalities and WMD inspections, Blair agreed to support Bush's neo-con adventure unreservedly. The phrase that will act as Blair's epitaph into history is "With you, whatever."

No doubt the parliamentary reaction to the report will be to play down every damning detail and soft-soap the unavoidable conclusion that the British political and military establishment made the biggest blunder since appeasement in the 1930s. Once again, Jeremy Corbyn speaks for the unheard and ignored mass of British people who fiercely opposed Blair's rush to war. And once again, the Blairite wing of the party shows how out of touch it is by heckling their leader's speech to the Commons.
