I think it more important that we get the leadership we want from the election based on policies not what a government did in a past decade .As far as i know Milliband played no part in Blairs decision but would undoubtedly be found guilty by association by some voters.Besides i think it an important issue and one that should not be clouded by media coverage of the genaral election

I was never going to vote for Millibore anyway and the chilcot report is not the reason why. It all has to do with what Labour did to this country the last time they were in power and i would hope most would take that into account not this report about Bliar and his bare faced lies.

people seem to always forget the last balls up and believe the pre election drivel that politicians promise but never deliver after the election .

How damning do people really expect this report to be?

I think if there was anything really groundbreaking then it would have leaked already. I suspect it's going to be a rehash of what is already known maybe with a critical approach to the relationship between Blair and Bush and the style of Government.

I predict no more than inconvenience for them, it's better than nothing though

Might have to rethink my prediction if Jezza ever gets in, if I thought he meant it I'd vote for him on this alone

Tony Blair should stand trial on charges of war crimes if the evidence suggests he broke international law over the “illegal” Iraq war in 2003, the Labour leadership frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn has said.

Iraq report to be published 6 July
I fully expect Tony Blair to throw his weight behind the EU leave campaign in the hope that anything will take the inevitable bad headlines away from him.

I think we should have an enquiry into why this one took so long.

That would be just as much of a waste of money as an enquiry into why and what you post being dribble :D

good idea though....

Given the number of posts this enquiry may take the same number of years ... although given the amount of repetition, it could be less :)
