on ships in the red sea, such as this one they filmed. the houthis have been targeting vessels for months that they say are linked to israel. today, the foreign secretary david cameron insisted that the uk had no choice but to take military action to protect a critical global trade route. not acting is also a policy. it wasn't working and it's right we have sent this very clear, very unambiguous message that we are prepared to follow our words and warnings with action. lord cameron insisted the air strikes would not escalate tensions in the region and defended the decision not to seek parliamentary approval in advance. i don't think it would have been right to have a debate and a vote before this sort of action, because i think it is important, for reasons of operational security, to, on this occasion, take the action and then have a statement in parliament afterwards. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, was briefed by the government before the strikes went ahead and supported them. he had previously promised to create a new law requiring commons consent before military action could be taken — not inconsistent, he said, with his backing for action

waters, but five died. speaking this morning on the bbc, the foreign secretary said the deaths were heartbreaking. you can only think about what an appalling end it would be in the cold waters of the channel and in the middle of the night, it breaks my heart to hear about it. but itjust shows we've got to stop the boats, we've got to stop this illegal trade in human beings. the government says the solution is forcibly removing unauthorised arrivals and sending them to rwanda. there will be a crucial parliamentary vote on the plan later this week. but the labour leader said that isn't the answer. instead, he called for international cooperation to deal with the gang is organising the boats. i've done this before, i am convinced it can be done in relation to these gangs. that's where i will put my political muscle, if you like, rather than a gimmick which is the rwanda scheme. home office figures show that back in 2022, the number of illegal migrants crossing the channel on small boats had jumped up to over 45,000.
