A new play called Loyalty is opening in London, based on a true story by the wife of Jonathan Powell, chief of staff to Tony Blair, who objected to her husband's involvement in the run up to the Iraq War.

Playwright Sarah Helm explains how it was "extraordinarily difficult" to remain loyal to her husband at the same time as opposing his politics.
