If Porton Down had established that the agent was produced in Russia, wouldn't May have said so? Corbyn asked good questions. Why doesn't Matt Tait want to wait for the answers?
This, from @pwnallthethings on how to interpret May's statement on Skripal, is helpful.https://www.lawfareblog.com/uk-prime-ministers-speech-russian-poisoning-sergei-skripal-decoding-signals …

And Corbyn asked May if she was going to file an official complaint with the UN Chemical Weapons body (OPCW) which would of course require the UK to provide their evidence. Corbyn remembers the British role in the Iraq WMD con job.

Not buying. His argument rests on May turning it up to 11 from the start. She did, but not as diplomatic tactic. Instead, yet another desperate political lunge. https://mobile.twitter.com/ToryFibs/status/974363571961417731 …

I am disgusted with the “leader” of our government lack of response to an attack on our NATO ally. Deplorable.
