I witnessed history in the making today as Tony Blair appeared before the Iraq Inquiry. The Former Prime Minister insists he was right to take action to stop Saddam Hussein - even if the weapons of mass destruction turned out not to exist. We got your reaction to Blair's performance and asked "is Blair becoming a scapegoat?"


During his appearance, he made it clear that it was always his intention to join the Americans if it came to war. My question was, should we always follow America in War, no matter what? Some interesting opinions came out today and we got reaction on the Inquiry from top commentators including Associate Editor of the Mirror, Kevin Maguire. Columnist for the Independent on Sunday and Tony Blair's Biographer, John Rentoul, told me the appearance went as well as could have been expected - even though we didn't really learn anything new...

During the rest of the show, we concentrated on the World Economic Forum in Davos. David Cameron's warned cuts need to be made in spending...Whichever party's in power, we know there have to be cuts - but where would you slash costs?

What an end to the week - I really think we saw history in the making today. What will monday bring? Find out when I return from 4pm...
