British MPs on Wednesday backed airstrikes in Syria to help defeat Islamic State, after an all-day debate in parliament ended in a vote backing the call for military action.

After a long and heated debate, David Cameron achieved a substantial majority for his plan to extend RAF bombing to targets in Syria.

Labour’s leader, Jeremy Corbyn, saw 66 members of his own parliamentary party vote in favour of airstrikes, while 7 Conservative MPs defied the whip to vote against military action.
