Tony Blair's longest serving adviser said although people are 'still very peeved about Iraq' she still believes it was 'the right thing' to do
However, Ms Hunter said despite having his critics, the knighthood was "thoroughly well deserved".
On Iraq, she added: "If you had been there at the time, and you had seen what we had seen, you would also have said let's go in."Mistakes were made in the execution of it but the actual going in I still believe it was the right thing." Ms Hunter, who began working for Sir Tony in the late 1980s and was Director of Government Relations during his first term, insisted his time in power should be viewed "extremely well".
"I think the people of this country were at peace with themselves in a way that I don’t think they are so much these days."
