If Mr Cameron really can't stand by and let this happen without getting involved I for one will stand fully behind him and other Westminster cronies who can't stand by getting on a plane, going over there and sorting it out.

It's not all bad news, if there is military action, Diane Abbot has said she would consider resigning from being an MP

Is resigning from the front bench the same as resigning as an MP?

She was a whole lot more weaselly than that when Evan Davies asked her this morning.

Ah, I must have mis-read. So what does her threat to quit the front bench even mean? She wants to protest but not lose her privileges? I guess she's just had enough of white people playing Divide and Rule.

We're getting the band back together.

TBH I no longer know which portfolio she shadows, so I seriously doubt she'd be missed much at the dispatch box. Although by all accounts she does work hard in her constituency

She should stick to cozying up to Portillo on This Week

Simple, it's nothing to do with us, leave it.

On a mission from God?

So, Call Me Dave and 14 pints were all geared up for their Dr Strangelove moment, Parliament recalled to rubber-stamp their attack on Syria, until a phone conversation with Miliband at 5.15pm. The Labour leader said he would not give carte blanche approval for military intervention until the UN inspectors had at least reported back.

Rug pulled from underneath him, Cameron reverts to type and throws a hissy fit with No 10 and the Foreign Office describing Miliband as [url=http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/politics/article3854838.ece"a f****** c*** and a copper-bottomed s***"[/url

In one afternoon, Miliband has shown more statesmanship than Cameron has displayed all Summer. Suddenly Cameron goes from his Churchill moment to a sad parody of Anthony Eden



If Ed can keep his head in this afternoon's debate, it should make interesting viewing/listening

Indeed.
We must also remember that there are factions involved who would easily turn upon each other once Assad had been deposed, it's not just one side against another.
e.g. Do we really want to side with or assist Al Quaeda against Assad?
