LABOUR is facing furious demands to get off the “moral fence”; and give full-throated backing to Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran.
Britain’s stance on the escalating conflict was last night slammed as Foreign Secretary refused to say if the US stealth raid on was even legal.
The Cabinet minister said the UK would not hesitate to “defend our personnel”; in case of attack — but urged the mad mullahs to “take the off-ramp”; by entering into peace talks.
Sir Keir Starmer’s spokesman said: “The prevention of getting is a good thing for this country.
“But our focus is on diplomacy.
“Iran should take the opportunity presented by the US to re-enter talks.”;
Tory leader said ministers were parroting lines written by pacifist civil servants which were “designed to not upset anybody or give any views”;.
She aimed fire at international law-obsessed , blasting: “I do think it is quite extraordinary the position they found themselves in where the Foreign Secretary is unable to say whether or not he believes that action is lawful.”;
And Shadow Foreign Secretary Dame said: “The British public deserve to know if their government supports to us and our allies, or whether it is all too happy to sit on the moral fence.”;
It came as Labour’s hard Left MPs urged for all military involvement to be ruled out.
said: “Will the Foreign Secretary provide reassurance that we will not enter an endless war fuelled by reckless provocateurs?”;
