Labour leader backs military operation against Houthi rebels
Sir Keir Starmer says “it was clear” they had carried out attacks on shipping in Red Sea, putting lives at risk, and disrupting international traffic.
The Labour leader said his party was “fully supportive of the action needed” to stop further attacks.
He called on the prime minister to make a statement to the House Commons, which he is expected to do on Monday.
