[quote]John Prescott, who was deputy prime minister when Britain went to war with Iraq in 2003, says the invasion by UK and US forces was "illegal".
Writing in the Sunday Mirror, he said he would live with the "catastrophic decision" for the rest of his life.
Lord Prescott said he now agreed "with great sadness and anger" with former UN secretary general Kofi Annan that the war was illegal.[/quote]

[quote]On Wednesday we finally saw the Chilcot Report.
It was a damning indictment of how the Blair Government handled the war – and I take my fair share of blame.
As the Deputy Prime Minister in that Government I must express my fullest apology, especially to the families of the 179 men and women who gave their lives in the Iraq War.[/quote]
