Alan Johnson, Hazel Blears, Harriet Harman, Hilary Benn, Jon Cruddas and Peter Hain answer questions submitted via Labour.org.uk at the Labour Party hustings event in Sheffield.
AM not normally impressed by Harman - she can often come across quite bland - but for all that, she has got it right on UK's relationship with America.
I think they should admit they were wrong on Iraq, however Jon Cruddas is the only one with any credibility left as he is the only one who voted against the war in Iraq!
Harriet was the only one with a sensible opinion on voting. It's no embarrassment to admit you were wrong. The Iraq Study Group reported that 650,000 Iraqi's have died as a result of the occupation. Lets do the decent thing, even in America they are talking about it. We nee a party in this country who offers us a choice between the international policies of labour and the conservatives. Right now we don't have a choice.
Except multilateralism cannot be compatible with unilateral regime change.

Nice to see some passion from Benn, on multilateralism.

Actually you are wrong, Jon Cruddas voted for the war along with the other.
At this moment in time I am split between Alan Johnson and Hilary Benn, however Benn is being very quiet in all that I see so I am not sure/
