[DailyMail] Jeremy Corbyn was slammed by his own MPs today after demanding Vladimir Putin is given the final say on British military action in Syria.
The Labour leader insisted he would never countenance deploying UK forces without a UN resolution - even though Russia has the power to veto them.
Mr Corbyn also made clear he does not accept that the strikes on Bashar Assad's chemical weapons capability by the US, UK and France were legally justified on humanitarian grounds.
And he demanded a 'war powers' law to ban the Prime Minister from taking military action without a Commons vote.
The comments immediately reignited the deep splits within Labour, amid a huge political row over Theresa May's decision to join reprisals over Assad's atrocity in Douma last Saturday.
