The extraordinary photo that reveals just how little MPs knew about the Iraq war
'An extraordinary picture lays bare just how much Tony
Blair's Cabinet was kept in the dark as Britain went to war in Iraq. Rather than being told by the Prime Minister that the country
was at war, they had been roused from their beds by policemen or phoned
by journalists with news of the first American strikes. But at this moment, 7.55am on March 20, 2003, they know no more
about the final decision to launch the attack than the rest of the
British public tuned in to the early-morning news.'
