Britians Prime Minister, Mrs Theresa May, today made a statement to the UK Parliament on the latest UK military action in Syria.
The Prime Minister was under pressure to lay out the justifications for the military strikes by the UK, US and France which were made in response to the chemical attack in Douma on the 7th April.
She cited the national interest and humanitarian grounds for acting without recalling parliament to vote on the action. She also pointedly stated that she was not dancing to the tune of President Donald Trump. 'Let me be absolutely clear. we have acted because it is in our national interest to do so'.
Referring to the nerve agent attack in Salisbury last month Mrs May said it was vital that the use of such banned substances did not become 'normalised either within Syria, on the streets of the UK or elsewhere'.
That didn't stop the leader of the opposition, Mr Jeremy Corbyn from saying in his reply to Mrs May, 'This statement serves as a reminder that the Prime Minister is accountable to this Parliament, not to the whims of the US President'.
He added 'We clearly need a War Powers Act in this country to transform a now broken convention into a legal obligation' and went on to say 'I believe the action was legally questionable.' This was in criticism of the power of the Prime Minister (under what is termed the Royal Prerogative) to deploy troops without seeking the approval of the Commons.
Although the Prime Minister appears to have weathered this storm there are now fears of Russian retaliation against the UK in the form of cyber attacks against vital services.

Its all a farce! People just need to change our own way and bring this paradigm to an end! 💯🐒
Are you saying that we should all disengage from the system or try to bring about change by working within it?
We need to change the paradigm. To an extent disengage yes but that is not possible in reality, but slowly it is. For example start using crypto, growing our own etc etc. The more small changes to our environment the bigger the next ones will become. I would love to disengage but the web is so intertwined in our everyday life that would be a big challenge so each thread at a time 💯🐒
I have a feeling that something major will happen shortly that will change the way people view things and that this will help to change the way the system works. I'm not sure what specifically - but I believe it will be a positive development - but it is a more like a sense gained from what I see happening on the web etc. Take care.
I think your right the hundredth monkey will awaken. Personally I think there running scared knowing humanity is coming together. Next year in the beginning September possibly in Yorkshire I am making a change more info to come soon in post! 💯🐒
I've followed you so looking forward to what it ever it might be.
Nice work I'm am just working on venues currently and then I will start leaking bit slowly 💯🐒
