Davey on Iran: Starmer needs to come before Parliament today

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Government ministers’ latest comments on US strikes in Iran, Ed Davey, Leader of the Liberal Democrats said:

“Trump’s strikes on Iran were a seismic moment which will have a profound effect on global security for many years to come.

“But UK Ministers are dodging questions on whether they support these strikes, and failing to guarantee that we won’t be dragged into another illegal American war in the Middle East.

“The Prime Minister has not even spoken once in the Commons since this crisis began. He needs to come to Parliament today, update the country on where the UK stands and what he is doing to ensure the situation does not escalate any further.”
