EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Starmer permission for US use of British bases must have Parliamentary vote

Responding to the Prime Minister granting permission to the US to use British bases to strike Iranian sites bombing the Straits of Hormuz, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Calum Miller MP said:  

“We have warned from the start that the UK has to avoid being dragged into another war in the Middle East with no obvious end.

“This decision by the Prime Minister reminds us all of the disaster of Iraq and shows how we’re being drawn further and further down Trump’s slippery slope.

“Starmer must now let Parliament vote on the terms of the agreement with the US for their use of UK bases.”
