YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"The cabinet was not united on this, there were different views. That has constrained what Downing Street has been able to do.”
The “distinctive murmurs” behind the prime minister throughout PMQs expose the different views within Labour that are “constraining” Keir Starmer’s reaction to Iran, particularly at a time that the party is sensitive to losing votes to the Greens, says Tim Shipman.
