Labour leader Jeremy Corby has refused to say if he would order the killing of the head of Islamic State, as well as hinting his party could scrap Britain’s nuclear deterrent. “I am not a defender or supporter of ISIS in any way”, Mr. Corby insisted on the BBC’s Andrew Marr show Sunday morning.

People talk about this election killing the Labour Party. I doubt that although it might knock it out for a decade as Thatcher did in the 80s.

A quibble: I’m no fan of Corbyn, but as a matter of reporting, the article does not say whether UK law has any explicit allowances or prohibitions on assassinations of foreign leaders.

So the head of ISIS is a “foreign leader”? By that logic, so was Bin-Laden.

Corbyn is an idiot. I think May will win re-election easily and Labor may be back to picking another leader. Could Milliband come back?

“Leader” = Commander-in-chief = enemy combatant.
It isn't an assassination. He is a legitimate military target.
