Straw: ‘Surprised’ former Labour PMs not invited
Jack Straw told the Today programme he was “surprised” Gordon Brown and Tony Blair had not been invited to the Royal Wedding:
“I frankly was surprised that two former prime ministers were not invited whereas in the equivalent situation in 1981, they were.
“My guess is that, reviewing the way the guest list has worked, in retrospect I think the decision-makers probably would have made some different decisions both in respect of former prime ministers and in respect of the number of ambassadors being invited.”
