He did his best! Given it wasn’t what most believed it to be.

Critics of Blair argue that he misled the public and Parliament by overstating the threat posed by Iraq, making the war illegal under international law. The invasion lacked explicit authorization from the United Nations Security Council, which is why many believe Blair’s actions may constitute a war crime, particularly in relation to the violation of the UN Charter and principles governing the use of force.
There is a much simpler explanation for this aspect. Not being able to get a UN security council resolution because of use of the veto.

Then comes Iraq. A country that had attacked another and had to be driven out. Concerns about the development of weapons capable of attacking Israel. Also about the use of chemical agents. This a leader that had been well supported to counter Iran.

Flawed intelligence. Well it happens, The important aspect is that the veto means even if correct nothing may happen. It's a geopolitical aspect and little else. Right and wrong needn't figure.

What comes next. The banking crisis, Blame those in power so need a change of gov That results in anything that can be used to show blame gets dug up. People follow the political beliefs and ignore the factor I mentioned above.

Cop29 in Baku was an attempt to highlight the way fossil fuels are damaging the planet at an unprecedented rate: but the home of the petro-chemical industry is not about to accept the science. Oil and gas, Aliyev said, are “a gift of the God” — just the same as any other natural resource. “Unfortunately double standards, a habit to lecture other countries and political hypocrisy became kind of modus operandi for some politicians, state-controlled NGOs and fake news media in some Western countries,” Aliyev said. Aliyev also slammed U.S. media for calling Azerbaijan a “petrostate” when their country is the number one oil and gas producer on Earth.

Sir Keir Starmer confirmed stringent new plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions, as revealed by the Guardian, which were praised by campaigners and experts. The UK is one of the first leading economies to present such a plan, months ahead of a UN deadline of next February. The cut, of 81% by 2035 compared with 1990 levels, will be partly met by decarbonising the electricity sector, but the government is also likely to have to add new policies to encourage public transport and walking, and a switch from gas heating to electric heat pumps.

Simon Stiell, the UN’s top climate official, said politics, economics and the climate were now fatally entwined. Governments may be feeling the consequences of the worst inflation for decades but far more serious consequences were in store. “Worsening climate impacts will put inflation on steroids,” Stiell said, tuning in to some of the economic fears that have helped deliver a series of electoral victories to rightwing parties around the world in the past year. “The climate crisis is a cost-of-living crisis, because climate disasters are driving up costs for households and businesses. Climate finance is global inflation insurance.” the Guardian

Donald Trump said, "drill baby, drill."
