One million people sign petition to get Tony Blair’s knighthood rescinded

ONE million people have signed an online petition to get ex-PM Tony Blair’s knighthood rescinded.

He was appointed by the Queen a Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, the oldest and most senior British Order of Chivalry.

But the Change.org petition, which hit the 1million landmark yesterday, claims: “Tony Blair caused irreparable damage to both the constitution of the UK and to the very fabric of the nation’s society.

“He was responsible for causing the death of countless innocent civilians and servicemen. He should be held accountable for war crimes.

“He is the least deserving of any public honour.”

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer claims Mr Blair deserves it as he “made Britain a better country”
