I highly doubt this is the case, Blair didn't need any help so its hardly "one for the team Tony", both Labour and Conservatives voted for the war so Greg could have easily voted against it without Blair caring too much. It's in big votes like that where people can best express their opinion on the matter as they wont be losing the vote for the party if theres such an overwhelming majority.
