I'm thankfull Corbyn wasn't running the country in 1938, he makes Neville Chamberlain look like a real warmonger

Jeremy Corbyn urges MPs to assert authority

It is time for Parliament to "assert its authority" over UK military action after it was not consulted over Syrian air strikes, Jeremy Corbyn has said.

The Labour leader told MPs Theresa May had shown "flagrant disregard" for the convention that MPs should be consulted beforehand on foreign interventions.

He said the PM had "tossed aside" the precedent, set by the 2003 Iraq War vote, because it was "inconvenient".

The government won the vote easily, by 317 votes to 256 - a majority of 61.
