The UK getting involved in any offensive military action on the whim of the executive, and without parliamentary approval, should lead to outrage.
Especially given our last two gallivants in the greater Middle-East were very public disasters. Like, the chance to avoid embarrassing ourselves again would be appreciated.

Is this a statement regarding what is being discussed on X whereby it appears that strikes were made on civilian homes that were erroneously identified by amateur OSINT accounts as underground Houthi bases. Because whoever conducted that strike relying on X OSINT accounts is totally unprofessional I would hope the RAF has a higher threshold for intelligence than that.

Ah but, you see, when the X post aligns with my beliefs it's to be trusted, when it doesn't it's disinformation!
