MP Wes Streeting has confirmed he will be voting against air strikes in Syria today (December 2).

A 10-hour House of Commons debate will culminate in a vote on whether the UK should join the USA, France, Russia and others bombing targets in Raqqa, ISIS’s stronghold, and other areas.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron says the action is needed because ISIS is a threat to Britain's security.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is against the bombing but has given his MPs a free vote.

Yesterday, the Ilford North Labour MP added his name to a cross-party amendment which rejects military action in Syria and says the case is not yet strong enough.

In a post on Facebook, Wes Streeting said: “I do not think the case for urgent and immediate UK military involvement in air strikes, ahead of the conclusion of the diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the Syrian civil war, has been made.

“I wish I had the self-assurance and certainty to tell you that this is unquestionably the right decision.

“The reality is far more complex and no one can be certain.

“There are some compelling arguments in favour of air strikes.

“I respect colleagues who have reached a different conclusion and do not question their integrity or sincerity.”

He added: “I will support the amendment and oppose the government's strategy for air strikes.”

Prime Minister Mr Cameron caused controversy on the eve of the vote by reportedly labelling Mr Corbyn and other opponents to the air strikes as "terrorist sympathisers".

A spokesman for Mr Corbyn said the comments were a "contemptible slur" and showed he was losing the argument.

The debate is due to begin at 11.30am and a vote expected at around 10pm.
