David Cameron urges MPs to back Islamic State air strikes in Syria
Downing Street made clear that RAF bombing missions against IS, also known as Isil, Isis and Daesh, in Syria are likely to start within days if MPs back military action in a crunch vote tonight.
Jeremy Corbyn’s decision on Monday to allow his MPs a free vote looks certain to deliver Cameron the clear majority for air strikes that he is seeking, with 50 or more Labour MPs expected to join Tories and Ulster unionists in backing action.
