#bbclaurak says to Steve Reed, "Isn't it about time there was a vote in Parliament as to what the UK was doing?"

"There was someone who wanted there to be a vote. His name was Keir Starmer. He very clearly said when he was running to be Lab Leader there will always be a vote on taking military action"*

*Starmer first pledged to introduce a "Prevention of Military Intervention Act" during his 2020 Labour leadership campaign
