Blair’s Bush nightmare

George Bush being elected US President was “the worst thing ever to happen to Tony Blair”, former Foreign Secretary David Miliband said.

Mr Miliband’s comments came in a Monday night TV discussion of Mr Blair’s decision to join the US-led invasion of Iraq a decade ago.

He contrasted that period with watching Mr Blair go “through the agony” of deciding to intervene in Kosovo when Bill Clinton was in the White House.

“There’s no question in my mind that if you compare that to the post-2001 period George Bush was the worst thing ever to happen to Tony Blair,” he said.

Mr Miliband also called for a far stronger intervention in Syria.
