A bit of a mixed bag of a press cycle with no clear winner.
On Parliamentary accountability - a bit of a win for the Labour/Lib/Backbench coalition calling for it, and making the Government look a little controlling. Which with what happens next, wasn't the best look to have.
On the march to conflict itself, both the Foreign Secretary and Shadow Foreign Secretary come off well but with a slight edge to the Shadow Foreign Secretary whose constructive opposition gains positive reviews from most of the press (and questions on how much he carries his party with him...). But there was more backup on the Tory side, handing a slim win to them on that aspect.
Attempts to attack the Opposition's stance on the military are a little too soon, especially when followed by a very effective and measured set of statements from the Shadow Foreign Secretary.
XP for Griff and Mac.
