You're a war criminal! Protester bursts into courtroom as Tony Blair gives evidence at Leveson Inquiry (and former PM's car is egged as he leaves)

Tony Blair's evidence to the Leveson Inquiry was sensationally interrupted today when a protester burst in from behind the judge and branded the former Prime Minister a 'war criminal'.

Gripping Lord Justice Leveson's bench, David Lawley-Wakelin yelled that Mr Blair had been 'paid off' by US investment bank JP Morgan, suggesting that it had profited from the Iraq War.
