presented in a report commissioned by Adam Price MP entitled A Case to
Answer.

The report which is co-authored by academics Glen Rangwala and Dan Plesch

intelligence assessments available to him in order to deceive the public and
Parliament over the case for war, and recommends that impeachment procedures
are begun against the Prime Minister for this misconduct.

weakening cabinet government and has made a mockery of Parliament as
representatives of the people.
