Blair's intelligence turned out to be suspect as well. There was a massive investigation into what was alleged to be intentionally "sexed up" intelligence reports and falsified claims - have a read:

Interestingly enough, the UK Conservative Party (who are currently holding their annual party conference) seem to be trying to redesign themselves as the "party that people can trust," mainly as a result of Blair's shenanigans during the run-up to the Iraq war. The shadow chancellor has not promised any tax cuts should the Tories be elected into power because he says the public are "tired of broken promises." Michael Howard has said that the public does not trust politicians anymore, something that he would seriously address if elected Prime Minister.
