  Obviously the Fat Lady hasn`t sung yet.....Boris applies more pressure on Cameron.
  
  Syria crisis: Nick Clegg rules out fresh Commons vote on military action as Boris Johnson
  
  increases pressure on Cameron
  
  The Deputy Prime Minister said 'we're not going to keep asking the same question of Parliament
  
  again and again'
  
  The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, has waded into the row over the Commons vote on military
  
  action in Syria saying he couldn't "foresee any circumstances" where the matter would return to parliament.
  
  Mr Clegg insisted the government would not "go back" to the House of Commons on the issue.
  
  "We're not going to keep asking the same question of Parliament again and again," he said.
  
  "We live in a democracy, the executive cannot act in a way which clearly is not welcome to Parliament
  
  or the British people, so we're not proposing to do so."
  
  He added: "I can't foresee any circumstances that we would go back to Parliament on the same
  
  question, on the same issue."
  
  Mr Clegg's intervention followed an article this morning by London Mayor Boris Johnson in which he
  
  stated that MPs could be asked to vote again on military action in Syria if further evidence emerges
  
  that civilians were targeted by chemical weapons.
  
  Mr Johnson joined calls for a second vote after Washington announced that they had seen blood
  
  and hair samples proving President Bashar al Assad used sarin gas to attack civilians.
