Not tonight, darling

The Cabinet meeting outcome announcement does not appear to describe authorisation for a bombing campaign against a fellow sovereign state member of the UN. More of a holding statement in absence of an agreement to go to War.

If the PM cannot persuade her own appointees in her own Cabinet Room, imagine her trepidation at the prospect of persuading her more wayward backbenchers in a minority in the House.

Open house for party goers at Akrotiri and UK bases, for sure. Some Istar and tankering to show moral support, also for sure, as with some Tiffy top cover outside Syria's 12nm territorial zone, but that's just about all for the moment.
