Jeremy Corbyn used to drink at your dad's pub?

"Russia won’t respond to UK ultimatum until samples of alleged chemical weapon received" – Lavrov

Fine, make it in a large quantity and attach it to a missile.

...More willie waving.

Just 23 expulsions!

(or ... "Biggest expulsion in 30 years")

Fred Quimby

Corbyn uses this as another opportunity to score political points. And then accuses the foreign secretary of demeaning his office, while being apparently oblivious to what he was just saying.

Is this man pushing for a war against the west and the UK in particular.  I am actually worried for the first time, by the words and actions of this man.

Fred Quimby

I wouldn't worry too much its mainly muscle flexing and always remember western media has a bias against Russia.

EarthRod

I would not call the use of a nerve agent in Salsbury, building 6 supersonic nuke bombers,developing 50 megaton bombs and cruise missiles that can reach any country in world a bias by the press.

No, not war or even a cold war. He has an election coming up.

Putin wants to increase his popularity; to show solidarity and to try to cause a British retaliation.

In addition, it might show up Theresa's weakness in how she responds.

I would not like to be in her shoes - difficult one.
