A group of MPs declared their intention to bring a motion of impeachment against the Prime Minister for High Crimes and Misdemeanours in relation to the invasion of Iraq. The charges are based on evidence presented in a report commissioned by Adam Price MP entitled A Case to Answer .

The report which is co-authored by academics Glen Rangwala and Dan Plesch presents evidence that the Prime Minister deliberately distorted the intelligence assessments available to him in order to deceive the public and Parliament over the case for war, and recommends that impeachment procedures are begun against the Prime Minister for this misconduct. In addition, the report maintains that the Prime Minister’s actions have destroyed the British government’s reputation for honesty around the world; it has damaged and discredited the intelligence services; it has undermined the constitution by weakening cabinet government and has made a mockery of Parliament as representative of the people.

Tony Blair has misled the people time and time again - this conduct cannot continue to go unchecked. The Members of Parliament backing this campaign believe it is their duty to do all they can to hold this Prime Minister to account in order to restore the people’s faith in the democratic process.

  • I commend them for taking action and calling for the impeachment of Blair, the same action should be taken in America and bring Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeldt, Rice, Rove all those responsible for hiding the truth.

    Its time the world sees that people of both countries are not going to put up with power of office to lie and mislead the world to invade countries.

    This is a crime, war crimes and will lead to more invasions once they get away with lies and cover ups and misleading the facts.

    They clearly used Sept. 11 as a reason based on lies this also needs investigation to find the real terrorits who did this crime.

    Its time the governments in both countries are held accountable and made to stand before the world and hear the truth. Impeach all of them

    The first step the people must realize that no one can lie and invade countries based on those lies.

    If we allow them to get away with we are no better.

    Go for impeachment Bush/Blair
