Miliband defends blocking UK military action against Assad
Ed Miliband said he does not regret blocking UK intervention in Syria when he was Labour leader after Wes Streeting suggested the UK’s “hesitation” allowed the Assad regime to last for longer.
The two senior Cabinet ministers have expressed differing views on the Commons vote on the principle of UK military action in Syria in 2013.
The Energy Secretary, who instructed his party to vote against it when he was opposition leader, said he stood by the decision with hindsight.
