Ex-US President Jimmy Carter has said he is “disappointed” by the apparently subservient attitude of the British government towards the White House.
Mr Carter said Tony Blair was a good man, but could have used his influence with President Bush more wisely.
The 81-year-old said there had once been “a very strong voice from London in the shaping of a common policy”.
His comments, to the BBC’s Newsnight, come with Mr Blair under pressure over the timing of his exit from power.
