Corbyn calls Syria strikes "legally questionable"

 British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn has described the overnight military action taken by the US, the UK and France against Syria as "legally questionable" and said such action won't save lives or bring peace.

The comments of the Labour leader come after British Prime Minister Theresa May said UK intelligence concluded it was highly likely that the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad was responsible for a chemical attack on Douma which killed at least 80 people.  She said the normalization of the use of such weapons could not go unchallenged. 


Theresa May acted without the approval of the UK parliament which is currently in recess.   Jeremy Corbyn says she should have consulted MPs and not acted unilaterally.   


IN: "Well the consequences….

OUT: in the United Nations."
