Clare Short appeared at the Lieraq Inquiry for a short time holding her notes which were all written in short hand.
Prior to the invasion of Iraq she explained that every time she tried to ask questions she was short down in flames by Tony B Liar and the men of straw in the cabinet including Jack Straw himself.
In her evidence she claims they were so short of evidence to attack Iraq that they had to make up tall tales of weapons of mass destruction and then used the media to convince people that these weapons actually existed.
After she gave her evidence she was given a short round of applause by the audience and she then went for a short walk to the nearest tearoom were our reporter met up with her for some tea and shortbread.
