PM will ‘exploit Labour row to win support for Syria attack’

DAVID CAMERON is planning to take advantage of Labour’s leadership turmoil to win Parliament’s support for bombing in Syria, Andy Burnham warned yesterday.

MPs have already blocked bombing plans once, but Mr Burnham believes the Tory PM is planning to call a second vote within days following the election of the new Labour leader.

The Labour leadership candidate said it would be “disrespectful” to the public to try to ambush the opposition.
