As a young lawyer, Sir Keir Starmer said the Iraq War was “in breach of international law” and marched through London with two million people in a last ditch attempt to stop it. Twenty years on from the invasion, his position is closer to “no comment”.
In an opinion article for The Guardian, published in March 2003, Starmer argued that there was no “self-defence” justification for the invasion of Iraq and that the UK government’s case for going to war was “precarious”.
