  • Rat of Damascus' Assad fled to Moscow, says Lammy, as Putin hit by 'strategic political defeat' in Syria - Foreign secretary brands Assad a 'monster' as the horrors of dictator's prisons emerge after

The article from MSN discusses comments made by David Lammy, the UK's Shadow Foreign Secretary, who referred to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as the "Rat of Damascus" and claimed that Assad has fled to Moscow.

Lammy's remarks were part of a broader critique of the UK government's foreign policy, particularly its handling of relations with Russia and the ongoing conflict in Syria.
