Original Note:
The post suggests that to "bypass" parliament here is unusual. The use of UK armed forces is a prerogative power, delegated by the Crown to the PM and government of the day. The PM may choose to consult parliament first but is not obliged to, especially in an emergency. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-7166/
