A group of MPs declared their intention to bring a motion of impeachment against the Prime Minister for High Crimes and Misdemeanours in relation to the invasion of Iraq. The charges are based on evidence presented in a report commissioned by Adam Price MP entitled A Case to Answer . The report which is co-authored by academics Glen Rangwala and Dan Plesch presents evidence that the Prime Minister deliberately distorted the intelligence assessments available to him in order to deceive the public and Parliament over the case for war, and recommends that impeachment procedures are begun against the Prime Minister for this misconduct. In addition, the report maintains that the Prime Minister's actions have destroyed the British government's reputation for honesty around the world; it has damaged and discredited the intelligence services; it has undermined the constitution by weakening cabinet government and has made a mockery of Parliament as representative of the people. Tony Blair has misled the people time and time again – this conduct cannot continue to go unchecked. The Members of Parliament backing this campaign believe it is their duty to do all they can to hold this Prime Minister to account in order to restore the people's faith in the democratic process. Sunday 7th November 2004 7th November - Impeachment motion finalised A cross party group of MPs have today released the text of the motion for the Prime Minister’s impeachment.

Click "Show" for full press release Impeachment Motion - Conduct of the Prime Minister in relation to the war against Iraq That a select committee of not more than 13 Members be appointed to investigate and to report to the House on the conduct of the Prime Minister in relation to the war against Iraq and in particular to consider; (a) the conclusion of the Iraq Survey Group that in March 2003 Iraq did not possess weapons of mass destruction and had been essentially free of them since the mid 1990s (b) the Prime Minister’s acknowledgement that he was wrong when in and before March 2003 he asserted that Iraq was then in possession of chemical or biological weapons or was then engaged in active efforts to develop nuclear weapons or was thereby a current or serious threat to the UK national interest or that possession of WMD then enabled Iraq to inflict real damage upon the region and the stability of the world (c) the opinion of the Secretary General of the United Nations that the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was unlawful (d) whether there exist sufficient grounds to impeach the Rt Hon Tony Blair on charges of gross misconduct in his advocacy of the case for war against Iraq and in his conduct of policy in connection with that war. That the Committee shall within 48 days of its appointment report to this House such resolutions, articles of impeachment or other recommendations as it shall think fit. 5rd November - Cities for Impeachment Campaign Later this month both Brighton and Oxford City Councils will debate whether to support impeachment. As the councillors explain, Tony Blair himself pointed out that law and order in our communities depends on people who break the rules being punished, and if the leader of the country can get away with it, then it is a license to every yob and bent official in the country. www.brightonandhovegreenparty.org.uk impeachblair.org
