MPs vote for air strikes by 397 to 223

Britain has finally voted in favour of joining her fellow allies such as the U.S. and France in taking part in air strikes against ISIS in Syria.

This comes after a vote to undertake air strikes against ISIS in Syria was earlier rejected but after the recent terror attack in France by ISIS in which over 100 people were left dead, many within Britain and her allies abroad felt it was time the British government took action against ISIS

However, the debate remains whether or not air strikes are actually effective or not. The Government tells us how they’ve already hit an ISIS-held oil field but can we draw this up to government propaganda? There are many, including Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn who believe that the air strikes are ineffective and will merely cause civilian casualties.
