Westminster today - LIVE: Corbyn to lead debate into Parliament vote on Syria strikes as Theresa May faces Windrush backlash

Jeremy Corbyn is expected to lead a second emergency debate over Britain’s role in missile strikes on Syria’s suspected chemical weapons facilities.

It follows a marathon sessions in the Commons on Monday and today’s motion will consider the rights of Parliament to debate and approve military action by British forces overseas.

Theresa May is also set to meet with Caribbean leaders after ministers apologised for the Government’s “appalling treatment” of the so-called Windrush generation.

It comes after Amber Rudd, the home secretary, announced on Monday she was setting up a new taskforce to speed up the regularisation of the immigration status of people who arrived in the UK as long ago as the 1940s.
