Downing Street livid with Donald Trump for endangering Brit troops by assassinating Iran general without warning

It seems so. OTOH, the less people you tell, the less likely any info will leak. I can understand their anger in one respect in that having troops exposed in that country, the UK would want the option of warning them in case something goes wrong.

“But the PM decided not to cut short his holiday after Mr Raab and Defence Secretary Ben Wallace both rushed back to London yesterday morning to handle the crisis instead. “

Boris probably though “Righto” and let a couple lackeys go back to stand in front of those who are upset about a non-crisis...

I wonder what Archie Bunker thinks of England?

STUFF IT, BORIS!
We have NO idea what Boris thinks. He is not quoted anywhere.

All we have is a quotation from one angry senior British official. That's enough to be ascribed to "10 Downing Street". You might as well ascribe the rantings of the senior officials in the State Department to the White House.

Excellent point

[christie]

With the MASTERMIND of most of the ME terrorist attacks GONE, who is going to plan the retaliation. We cut off the right arm, and probably the left arm, too.

Want to be a good ally? Arrest Christopher Steele. Otherwise, STFU.

[GOPJ]

What have they done about Christopher Steele? AND the Brit ‘intelligence’ thugs who worked against OUR President?

[Cronos]

To be fair, their troops are in more danger - The Al Quds force is an organized military as opposed to the ragtag terrorists of the Islamic state.

• UK on 'same page' as US after Soleimani killed in airstrike

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

If you expect the uk to stand behind you, its only common courtesy that consult, or st least warn, about what is about to happen first, is it not?

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

We have troops and assets in the region supporting the us, dont try to justify this blatant lack of courtesy.

[JerseyDvl]

Don’t these people suffer from outrage fatigue? They are always so very concerned.

[1Old Pro]

Their defense minister just came out and said we’re all on the same page.

[pfflier]

There would certainly be leakers in the US congress and probably in the British government that could compromise the mission.

When you are striking a target that is elusive and of high importance, sometimes you shoot first and ask for forgiveness later.

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

Yet Israele was informed and consulted? They are hardly trustworthy allies considering all the military tech they have supplied to China over the years.

[pfflier]

The Israelis are high on the list when terrorists counterstrike. They are the most vulnerable and our only allies in the middle east.
