A defiant Tony Blair told the Iraq inquiry yesterday that it was right to remove Saddam Hussein and said he would take the same decision again. The former prime minister added that the Iraq war made the world a safer place and he has "no regrets" about removing Saddam.

Mr Blair also denied striking a "covert" deal with George Bush to invade Iraq at a private meeting in 2002 at the US president's ranch
