Livingstone defends 7/7 terror attack remarks

Angela Smith MP challenged Ken Livingstone to step down as co-chair of the Defence Review following his suggestions that Tony Blair was to blame for the deaths of 52 people in the 7 July London bombings in 2005.
Mr Livingstone had said on Question Time that the then-prime minister ignored a security service warning that invading Iraq would make the UK a terror target.
Speaking on the Victoria Derbyshire programme, Mr Livingstone defended his remarks, saying Tony Blair ''increased the risk'' of a terrorist attack when he took the decision.
