The reasons Tony Blair joined in the invasion of Iraq

Very interesting article by Steve Richards on the Independent website about the reasons Tony Blair joined in the invasion of Iraq ten years ago http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/iraq-10-years-on-so-you-think-you-know-why-blair-went-to-war-8500265.html

Several times Steve Richards mentions the axis of interest between Blair, Bush and Murdoch.

Which makes me ask:  was the 2005 election win (largely delivered by Murdoch) a reward to Blair for joining in the Iraq war?

Which in turn makes me wonder what News International got out of the deal.
