Hilary Benn on the subject of him, his father and the Iraq war:
"We do argue vigorously about it. He takes one view and I take another." And here the differences begin to emerge: "My visits to Iraq, the Iraqi people I've met, have really brought home to me what life was like when Saddam was there, just how courageous they are in trying to use the democratic opportunity they've now got. I would like to hear more voices speaking out now in support of democracy." That's one kitchen-table argument you could sell tickets for. Does Hilary still support the decision to invade? He pauses. "It's the thing I've thought about more in my life than anything else. It was a very difficult decision to take but I think it was the right thing to do."
