Airstrikes in Syria are lawful, but I’ll be voting against them

As the foreign affairs select committee has noted, in the space of just a few years Isis has emerged as one of the world’s most notorious and brutal radical jihadi organisations. It has capitalised in the chaos of the Syrian civil war to grow in strength and territory. Following the horrifying attacks in Sousse, Ankara, over Sinai, in Beirut and, Paris, no one should be in any doubt that Isis has the capability and intention to carry out further acts of terrorism.
