Tony Blair has refused to lead the debate on Iraq.  A shameful position to take in light of the number of British troops who have laid down their lives on the basis of his policy.

The debate on Iraq is to take place on Wednesday afternoon, but Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett, rather than Tony Blair, is expected to lead it.

Should by Wednesday he still refuse to stand before the House and explain himself and his policies, we call upon the leaders of the opposition to lay before the house a motion of no confidence, and remove this man who is increasingly showing a lack of backbone, morals and respect for the laws of this land.

Should the Government loose the debate, then the opposition should call for a General Election.
