Let Labour Party Member of Parliament Chris Bryant tell you what’s really behind the coup in Turkey:

Some examples…
Does anyone in the U.K. believe this?
A key aspect of UK security strategy has long been Turkey's membership of NATO and candidacy for EU.

Some have been warning of a Turkish coup for a while. But UK attention diverted by absurd EU argument.
