Sussex MPs have been urged to apologise for the Iraq war.

Worthing MP Peter Bottomley and East Worthing and Shoreham MP Tim Loughton voted in favour of the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Worthing's Liberal Democrat group called for both men to apologise, labelling the war "the worst decision taken by Britain in living memory".

Worthing borough councillor Hazel Thorpe said: "Five years on from the start of the invasion, 175 British troops have lost their lives, £7 billion of our money has been lost on this appalling venture and, according to some estimates, 600,000 Iraqis have lost their lives as a result.

"Both MPs should now apologise for their part in authorising this disastrous military venture."
