The British Prime Minister confirmed he would be coming to parliament to “make the case” for wider military action after holding talks with French president Francois Hollande in the wake of the attacks on Paris.

Unveiling the Strategic Defence and Security Review to MPs, Mr Cameron said IS was “not some remote problem thousands of miles away”. “It has already taken the lives of British hostages and carried out the worst attack against British people since 7/7 on the beaches of Tunisia, to say nothing of the seven terrorist plots right here in Britain that have been foiled by our security services over the past year,” he said.
