Needs to be explained. we are expecting rishi sunak to give a statement in the house of commons on monday as keir starmer mentioned. the other opposition parties, the snp, lib dems, plaid cymru, all saying parliament should be recalled over the weekend to discuss this. the house of commons speaker sir lindsay hoyle said he would be happy to arrange that. it appears unlikely at this stage. it also appears unlikely that they would be a retrospective vote next week on whether this action should have taken place or not. the question is whether the uk does any more attacks, and if they were to do so, there would be quite significant political pressure to hold a vote in the house of commons. political pressure to hold a vote in the house of commons. peter, thank ou. some the house of commons. peter, thank you- some new the house of commons. peter, thank you. some new lines the house of commons. peter, thank you. some new lines that the house of commons. peter, thank you. some new lines that were - you. some new lines that were getting from rishi sunak. as peter mentioned there will be statements made to parliament on monday. number
