I TUNED in to Prime Minister's Questions yesterday expecting to see Charles Kennedy confront Mr Blair over the government's allegations that the Liberal Democrats had been Saddam Hussein appeasers or supporters because of their opposition to the Iraq war. This is not a new issue but Foreign Secretary Jack Straw re-ignited it on Tuesday in a BBC Today interview by repeating the accusations and saying that Mr Kennedy's position dare not speak its name in terms of their policy. The Liberal Democrat leader was on the Today programme within fifteen minutes asking for an apology and followed up with an article in yesterday's Independent with the headline Why I'm demanding an apology from Tony Blair.
