8:38Now PlayingCo-host of The News Agents podcast Lewis Goodall joins Shelagh Fogarty to discuss how the legacy of the Iraq War continues to shape Labour’s approach to foreign policy.
When Starmer briefed the House of Commons on Iran, he ended with the message: “We all remember the mistakes of Iraq, and we have learned those lessons.”
The decision by Tony Blair to send British troops to Iraq in March 2003 has had a lasting impact on the Labour Party and continues to influence UK foreign policy.
Years later, in 2011, then-Prime Minister David Cameron felt it was necessary to assure Parliament that any intervention in Libya would “not [be] another Iraq.”
For Starmer today, the key lessons from 2003 revolve around making sure any military action is legally sound and accompanied by a clearly defined plan for what comes next.
