Jeremy Corbyn: 'Ill-thought out rush to war'

Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the opposition Labour party, has reaffirmed his opposition to bombing in Syria, saying that Cameron has not made an effective case.

"The doubts and unanswered questions expressed on both sides of the house have only grown," he told the Common adding that he was disappointed that there wasn't a two day debate.

He described the current process as an "ill-thought out rush to war."

“It's becoming increasingly clear that the PM’s proposal for military action simply do not stack up.”

On being questioned whether he would whip his MPs he said that “every MP should be aware of what his constituents and public opinion think and will have to make up their minds.”

“There is no doubt that the so-called Islamic State has imposes a reign of sectarian and inhuman terror in Iraq, Syria and Libya and there is no question that it also poses a threat to our own people," he added, but said that Cameron had been unable to explain why expanding airstrikes to Syria will make a significant impact on this campaign.

He also said that he wasn't convinced that there was an effective partner on the ground, saying that the Kurds and Free Syrian Army couldn't provide it.

“The only ground forces able to take advantage of a successful anti-ISIL campaign are stronger jihadist and salafist groups close to the ISIL areas," he said.
