David Lammy has signalled a dramatic hardening of the government’s position on the war on Iran, warning Royal Air Force jets could legally strike Iranian missile sites to prevent attacks on British interests in theMiddle East.

The deputy prime minister’s comments sparked chaos as No10 scrambled to deny accusations of a U-turn and warnings the government risked sliding down a “slippery slope”.

It's not legal. Lammy has had a personality change, he used to be a sensible politician. I am fed up with politicians who are chameleons and change to fit new scenarios that benefit them.

Well said Melinda. I agree, Lammy used to say things i agreed with which is no longer the case since joining Starmer's cabinet.

Absolutely, at one time he seemed a really decent person. It's sad.
