  Keir Starmer suggested allowing the US to use the bases to carry out defensive strikes against Iranian targets at the meeting last Friday but was met with opposition from Ed Miliband, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper and Shabana Mahmood

  Shows you the power one single minister, albeit the Prime minister wields over the cabinet. Of 8 members, 4 opposed aiding an illegal war and yet it happened anyway. Such a shit system of governance for an entire nation of 65 million people.

    Not only that. It’s your home secretary, foreign secretary, treasurer and energy minister. There couldn’t be 4 more relevent people.

  Is it just me that always reads the word “travesty” with sarcasm.

  Oh, yeah. Sure. You’re so upset it leaked.
