A COBRA meeting is basically an emergency Cabinet meeting in the UK, not some sort of GI Joe codeword, but it is very funny imagining just what this meeting was for.
Speaking with Shelagh Fogarty live from the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, the Prime Minister told LBC he will chair a meeting of the Government's emergency committee to ensure ministers "have the full picture".
Andy Burnham praised the emergency service and public response to the suspected bomb plot on Monday after five people were arrested.
"I will chair a meeting over COBRA later this afternoon," the PM revealed, after five suspects, all of whom are British nationals aged in their 20s and from London, were arrested close to the RAF base used by the US.
Arrested and... released.
Probably the meeting was about how to pretend this wasn't just fuel thieves to maintain Donald's illusions.
The five men were quickly released on bail and police have now confirmed no explosives were found in three vans at the scene, but the investigation remains ongoing.
The latest revelation that one of the men called the police, was first reported by The Times of London, followed by the Guardian and the BBC, deepens the mystery.
Of course the police have powers to detain actual terrorism suspects for a long time.
