Confusion in Labour Party over Donald Trump’s Air strike in Syria

Jeremy Corbyn on US air strike

Donald Trump’s airstrike in Syria is now causing serious feud between Jeremy Corbyn and his deputy Tom Watson both parties are inconsistent whether Donald Trump was on the right track to hit Syria after a chemical assault.

It took the Labor Party a few hours to concoct Jeremy Corbyn's reaction to the US air strike on Syria. Also, no big surprise.

Military intercession in the Middle East is a convoluted issue for the British Left, with the shadow of Iraq still posing a potential threat over it.

Mr Corbyn is not clashed. His reaction was the just a single we could have anticipated from the veteran antagonistic to war campaigner - critical.

He said the strike "risks escalating the conflict in Syria still further" and called for new peace talks - which his pundits say have been attempted and fizzled for as long as six years.

His announcement was maybe not as strident as it may have been the point at which he was on the backbenches, frequently rampaging with the Stop the War Coalition, however likeminded Labor individuals wouldn't be disillusioned.

That implies at the exceptionally top of the party there is intense difference - once more.

He is inconsistent with his own deputy Tom Watson, who left the traps early at the beginning of to tell his neighborhood paper he upheld the air strike, saying unpredictable chemical weapons attacks "must have consequences".

Corbyn  and his deputy did not talk at the beginning of yesterday, it is comprehended, and sources near Mr Corbyn say he doesn't concur that the diplomatic path has been depleted, proposing he doubts the strike's legitimateness. As one exasperated shadow bureau source put it: A story about Syria has become a story about Labor."

Concerns remain that a solitary strike can without much of a stretch heighten if President Assad doesn't go along, yet numerous MPs can't share their leader’s conviction that there is a simple answer of non-mediation.


Hilary Benn, who opposed Jeremy Corbyn in 2015 to back British air strikes against Isis, essentially tweeted that he trusted it would work: "let’s hope Syria will now think twice before deciding to gas its own people again”. "Priority must be humanitarian assistance for civilians".
