The Lib Dem leader says people need to respect the Queen’s decision to grant Tony Blair a Knighthood.

Kingston MP Sir Ed Davey says it’s “quite normal” for former Prime Ministers to be knighted, especially as he won three terms. 

We asked him if this was a strong enough reason for Mr Blair to receive the gong. 

Over a million people have signed a petition calling for the Knighthood to be rescinded due to Mr Blair’s handling of the Iraq war.
