Our justice system requires proof that is 'beyond reasonable doubt', and we certainly have at least that level of proof about Assad's involvement in this latest gas attack. You have to be pretty naive to believe that anyone else can be responsible for this evil deed.

I don't think those who want to debate it necessarily all want to kick it into the long grass though I suspect JC does. Those I've heard on the radio say that a precedent has been set for a Parliamentary vote on such matters and Parliament could have been recalled to avoid delaying any action. Constitutionally, as Mick has pointed out, Theresa May was perfectly within her powers not to do so.
