The bottom line for me is this: if Corbyn isn't prepared to carry out his duty to the full, then he has no place running for PM.

I don't think unleashing a weapon of mass destruction is the duty of any decent prime minister. Honestly in the situation you described just then, airstrikes against the military bases would be a better solution probably. I know its all hypothetical so it's obviously difficult to imagine though
