William Hague: Starmer has been humiliated on the world stage

In one of his most candid interviews to date, William Hague admits to the Daily T that his stint at leader was “the least successful period of my career”.The former Conservative leader and foreign secretary tells Camilla and Tim he was too young to command the role. Hague also reveals how it felt going head to head with Tony Blair every week and opens up about the intrusion into his private life while in the public eye.Plus, he says Keir Starmer’s “flatfooted” response to the Iran war has brought on a “rocky” period in the special relationship but admits he is “haunted” by Iraq – a military intervention he supported at the time.We want to hear from you!
