United Kingdom could join fight in Syria 'without MPs' approval'

Corbyn is lagging in the polls. How we exactly implement that would be for the government and for prime minister to decide.

He said people should still vote for Labour to ensure the country has a strong opposition.

"It's a long time since I read it, but I think it was in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", he said, referring to a popular children's novel by Roald Dahl. I think the real issue is blank cheque.

He said the Government may bypass a House of Commons vote to authorise it.

Boris Johnson will tour TV and radio studios today to hammer home the Conservatives' election message that Jeremy Corbyn can't be trusted in an increasingly risky world.

Writing in The Sun, Mr Johnson said voters should not feel sorry for the "mutton-headed old mugwump" as Mr Corbyn poses an extreme danger to the country. We and our allies face threats from countries with a nuclear weapons capacity and from those trying to acquire that capacity.

Russian Federation was "interfering blatantly with European democracies", Kim Jong Un was leading a "semi-deranged regime in North Korea, bent on getting nuclear weapons that could one day be used to strike this country" and the United Kingdom and its allies were taking on an "Islamist death cult".

It would be hard for Britain to say No if Donald Trump asked for assistance in military action against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad in response to further chemical attacks, Boris Johnson has said. "Of course it's right", he said.

Collins of Broxbourne, Herts, and Phoenix, of Tottenham, were remanded in custody to appear at Wood Green Crown Court on May 22. Her rep confirmed in a statement: "She does not wish to discuss the pregnancy further".

Asked in an interview on ITV television what he meant by "mugwump", which the Oxford English Dictionary defines as "a person who remains aloof or independent, especially from party politics", Johnson did not explain the word.

In fact, the word appears not in that book but in the much-loved story-teller's 1972 follow-up, Charlie And The Great Glass Elevator, in which Willy Wonka refers to Mrs Bucket as "my dear old muddle-headed mugwump".

He also praised the Prime Minister's leadership in the war on terror and attacked Jeremy Corbyn's stance on nuclear weapons, tackling terrorists and airstrikes in Syria.

The presenter was praised by those tuning in at home as he ripped into the Foreign Secretary for calling the Labour party leader a "mugwump" and dodging questions.

"Have you felt a pang of sympathy for his plight? If so, fight it".

Mr Johnson insisted Britain will not pay any divorce bill before "substantive" negotiations on future relations begin.

"The Foreign Secretary will have a clear role to play", declared the source. She said: "It seems Boris Johnson has finally been allowed out of hiding, on the condition he only talks delusional nonsense".
