Newsnight Hustings: Harman and Cruddas with a Firm Hindsight No To War


Blears says the vote would not have happened if we knew then what we know now. Hain takes responsibility for his vote. Benn does not regret that Saddam is out of power, says defend fragile democracy. Johnson is standing out in backing the war. Harman suggests that she and Cruddas are not trying to wriggle out of responsibility.

Should Blair say sorry? Yes - say Cruddas and Harman, as part of reconciliation with the country.

Too close with USA? Hain, Blears, Benn big up international institutions. Shame says Paxman there wasn't a second UN resolution then.

Hain and Harman have been slagging off the Government that they have been happily taking a shilling from for years.

Satan will be making snowmen in Hell before I vote for either of them, it has to be said.

Johnson isn't as impressive as I'd hoped.

Benn and Blears are doing the best.

Cruddas is doing okay.

Not sure Benn is coming over that well. But he is the runaway bookies favourite (or punters favourite at least). Is this sentimental? To have voted for a Benn, any Benn will be something to dine out on for younger comrades.
