Hilary Benn tells Corbyn: 'I'm doing my job' in supporting Syria airstrikes

The shadow foreign secretary, Hilary Benn, has said he will not resign over his backing of airstrikes on Isis in Syria, despite his party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, writing to all Labour MPs setting out his opposition to military action.
Benn’s insistence that he would disagree with his leader came as David Cameron called on Labour MPs to back military intervention in Syria and “vote on the basis of the arguments”.
The prime minister said there was a “compelling” case for Britain’s involvement and insisted MPs would allow the country to do the “right thing” if they supported the government.
