When a Cabinet Minister who is sacked for telling lies is re-appointed, in the face of every constitutional convention, only for the same man to be sacked again from the same Cabinet for the same offence by the same Prime Minister no wonder the public are cynical about politics.

Britain does not normally these days play a huge part in peacekeeping.

Those who back the Syrian regime from now on will find themselves in an even more isolated and indefensible minority.

That's why they don't talk about an exit strategy. They don't intend on exiting.
