George Eaton ‏@georgeeaton now3 seconds ago

Chilcot comes close to encouraging a court to judge legality of the Iraq war.

Laura Kuenssberg ‏@bbclaurak now18 seconds ago

Chilcot was not asked to give a legal verdict, but comes pretty close to saying that war may well have been illegal

Chilcot confirms that Blair himself determined the "material breach" by Iraq of UNSC 1441 - "should have been considered by Cabinet"
