It may not be practical to inform Parliament of military action before the fact, much less seek approval, but the executive should be regarded as having some freedom
Easy rebuttal, what are the practical realistic alternatives to the Red sea attacks that uk can implement without furthering damage to national interest? Oh and dont forget Tehran is a hostile actor opposing our national interests at home and abroad.
I wish more people would address that oh-so-simple question. MP after MP standing up to maunder about “escalating the conflict”, but not one of them had a practical alternative response to the attacks on shipping.
Not an unvalid point. However, harsh reality is Uk national economic interest is threatened. Negotiation, even if theoretically plausible, doesnt always work and is heavily dependent upon true intentuons of opposite side/s.
