Wednesday evening MPs took part in a House of Commons vote on the motion shown above. Yemen is in crisis. Rebels in that country are under attack while rebels in Syria are being supported by western allies including the UK and USA. Saudi Arabia is in the mix along with Russia, Israel and other regional countries. Civil wars are traditionally "messy" but who we choose to ally ourselves with and support is telling. When is a rebel a rebel and when is that same rebel a freedom fighter hero? Wednesday's vote was important on many fronts. That includes Labour party politics. In the end the Tories won and Jeremy Corbyn's motion was defeated. But figures shared by Eoin via Twitter Wednesday evening highlight the motion was there for the taking.
