In a bygone age, these two could have killed each other in a duel. Embrace tradition.

[@williamchick6649]

Quite frankly I couldn’t give a damn about an illegal war that wasn’t illegal. I would rather have Tony Blair back with the government we had at that time then the complete disaster’s that we have had since 2010, I am in complete despair about the state of this country and how fast it is collapsed and is collapsing in the last few years, just having a competent government would be nice that was actually trying to help the people of this country Not just it’s billionaire friends from Russia and China and giving bankers tax cuts to make and richer by making the poor poorer.

[@donkeychan491]

“rubbing the right’s face in diversity” , as a governing ethos, pretty much guaranteed a massive backlash and we’re still reeling from the consequences.

[@midnightwolfee2128]

I generally agree with your sentiments, however how was the illegal war Not illegal as you put it? It felt pretty illegal at the time, and feels if anything to have only been proven more so, and a disaster, since. I was certainly part of the generation of voters that marched, & lost faith, because of it. So yes there will always be some scars from that for me. But the Tory governance ever since then has been devastating to our country and the standards of a new labour govt shine brightly now by comparison to trite we've had to endure since.

Blair was just in right place at the right time and left a mess behind him.

[@safebans1369]

Colonialist mindset, your politics are archaic

[@moluther2826]

Your complete despair is as of nothing compared to the Iraqi loss of life.

[@markjones3210]

Sunday Morning with Kate and Adam is such a good show!

[@mikeh5431]

I hated the Blair government at the time but compared tho this lot, they were great.

[@JohnCorrUK]

No more illegal wars ... Do you miss them Mike?

[@mandead]

@@JohnCorrUK Do you miss the country not being in complete freefall?

[@justinsmith1177]

A million dead Iraqi people don't miss the Blair government.

​@@JohnCorrUK I agree. It's so much better to be right than in power. Keep up the good fight, my good man. But anyway, any chance you lot could get out of the way so that we can have a government which isn't the f***ing tories? Just this once? Please, do us a favour. Shut up so Labour can get elected.

I was shocked at the bit when he stuck the boot in and he hit the deck with foam coming out of his mouth. Good job the medics were there to save his life.

[@benk79]

Bolton is awful.

[@silversteel6312]

Respect due to Adam’s hair for hanging in there still after all these years👏👏👏👏☝️

[@tanyaandelvis2698]

Looks like Frank Sinatra tribute act

[@kopparbergpapi1884]

And with some jazzy highlights no less

[@ekhballantine8011]

Adam Bolton you legend. Love the way you entertain all aspects of the political spectrum.

[@VincentRE79]

Are you being serious?

[@MrCMHUDDY]

@@VincentRE79 I think he is... wow!

[@milestone090]

So infamous I'd never seen or heard about before

[@PM-jl4zd]

IRAQ WARR!?? quite disgusting the way AC has been rehabilitated by the media.

[@jamesdobson7052]

He was vindicated by The Hutton Inquiry first, they took their lead from that

[@spewter]

The Hutton inquiry doesn’t matter because the problem isn’t the veracity of the WMD dossier. The issue is that the Iraq War killed and mutilated hundreds of thousands of people. This outcome was predicted PRE-WAR and was avoidable. Whether New Labour deliberately lied or not is minor.

[@SworBeyE16]

@@jamesdobson7052 What the Inquiry that Labour had appointed themselves?

[@race9359]

War criminal!

[@virtualunreality8326]

Alastair Campbell. The profession liar. Horrid character. Why do you think David Kelly commuted suicide?

[@flamboyentpromotions3471]

Because he was about to be exposed thats obvious

[@1669Python]

Awful man.

[@geoffgreen6643]

Alisrair Campbell exposes himself as self obsessd. Its cringe. It looks like a child is explaining themselves to an authority. G.
