The Prime Minister lost a valuable opportunity today to gain the confidence of the electorate when he announced that the Iraq Inquiry would be held in private. The PM stated only a week ago that he would change his style of leadershipo and had learned lessons. This appears not to be the case.
Naturally elements of such an inquiry would include evidence from the Security Services and these would have to be held at least partially in private. But the Iraq war was incredibly divisive across the UK and the decision to hold the inquiry in private will do nothing to heal that division.
The results will not be made known until after the next election. This again offers opportunities for delay and a sense of a lack of urgency in this matter.
