Corbyn slams May for conducting airstrikes without legal approval

Earlier, Leader of the UK Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn has criticized UK Prime Minister Theresa May for her decision to carry out strikes on Syria without first getting parliamentary approval.

Jeremy Corbyn said that the British government must answer on where the legal basis is for missile strike on Syria. Earlier, Jeremy Corbyn stated that the UK should be playing a leadership role to bring about a ceasefire in the conflict, and that it shouldn’t take instructions from Washington or put British military personnel in harm’s way.

On Saturday, the United States, the United Kingdom and France launched strikes on a number of targets in Syria in response to the alleged chemical attack in the Damascus’ suburban city of Douma.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the three countries fired over 100 cruise as well as air-to-surface missiles.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry has slammed the joint US, British and French strikes as a “brutal, barbaric aggression,” saying that the attack “aims at hindering the OPCW Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons mission’s work and preempting its results.”
