Labour leader denies he has rowed back on pledge to give MPs a say before authorising military intervention
Keir Starmer has rejected claims he has watered down promises to introduce a law giving MPs a vote before military intervention and to stop selling weapons to Saudi Arabia.
During his party’s 2020 leadership race, the Labour leader promised to introduce a “prevention of military intervention act” that would stop “more illegal wars” and ensure military action could only be taken if a lawful case was made, the Commons had given its consent and there was “a viable objective”.
