Syria air strikes: The 236 words that will decide whether we go to war against Isis in Syria

David Cameron has published the Government’s motion on bombing Isis in Syria that MPs will debate for 10 and a half hours on Wednesday.

 

It declares that Isis poses an “unprecedented” and “direct threat” to the UK and asks MPs to support the Government and Armed Forces in “taking military action, specifically airstrikes, exclusively against Isil in Syria”.
