The Debate
A fascinating debate in the House today. Jeremy Corbin was rubbish and read totally from notes, possibly prepared for him. Evette Cooper was absolutely brilliant, and totally unscripted. Caroline Lucas appeared very passionate, but had little idea. The Chair of the Commons Defence Committee (a Tory) was against bombing, staying it would do little good. Most ex senior heads of our armed forces agree that air strikes would have little effect, but boots on the ground were essential. However, they had no idea where they would come from. So I expect a yes vote tonight, but I'll watch this space in the next few months.
