Prescott, writing in the Sunday Mirror newspaper, said he had now changed his view on the legality of the Iraq war and criticised Tony Blair for stopping his ministers from fully discussing in advance whether it would be legal.
“In 2004, the UN secretary general Kofi Annan said that as regime change was the prime aim of the Iraq war, it was illegal. With great sadness and anger, I now believe him to be right,” Prescott wrote.
“I will live with the decision of going to war and its catastrophic consequences for the rest of my life,” he added.
A man of integrity.
