Corbyn condemned the attack unequivocally and it's hardly surprising he didn't join in with the chest-thumping.
Despite all the parliamentary braying May has played this poorly, as it was clear from the outset that Russia would ignore her deadline. And given the "consequences" for Russia, it's hard to argue it has strengthened our position.
It may be obvious to all and sundry that Russia are responsible for this, but the smart thing to do would have been to work with the UN et al: acting unilaterally has only served to demonstrate how toothless we are.
You'd need to be wearing very thick, Dambusters-tinted glasses not to see the merit in Corbyn's caution and insistence that we play it by the (international) book.
