Charles Kennedy MP-Lib Dem leader protesting against Iraq war

March 2003: Lib Dems opposed the Labour Government joining the "illegal" US invasion of Iraq. 

March 2023 is the 20th anniversary of Tony Blair's UK Labour Government joining the "illegal" US invasion of Iraq.

Amjad Abbasi said, "I'm proud to be standing for the Lib Dems who opposed Tony Blair's Labour Government joining the "illegal" invasion of Iraq."

They could afford to cut bills, but instead they are putting them up. It's the wrong choice for our country, and Liberal Democrats will fight to change it, said Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey, MP..
