Jeremy Corbyn faced a major backlash from his own MPs over his opposition to the Government's decision to join air strikes against Syria.

MPs will take part in an emergency debate on the RAF's air strikes on Syria - but will not be given a retrospective vote on the military action against the Assad regime.

Jeremy Corbyn has suggested that Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad may not have been behind the chemical attack which killed dozens of civilians in the country a week ago.

The SNP has accused Theresa May of "gesture bombing" after she authorised military action against Syria.

Theresa May has insisted she had "no practicable alternative" than to order strikes on Syria's chemical weapons capabilities.

Russian spies were trained to deliver the deadly Novichok nerve agent by applying it to door handles, Britain's top intelligence chief has revealed.

Jeremy Corbyn has accused Theresa May of "waiting for instructions from President Donald Trump" on whether to bomb Syria.

Theresa May's top ministers have vowed to "take action" against the Assad regime in Syria - after agreeing it is "highly likely" he was behind the chemical attack which killed dozens of his own civilians.

MPs do not have the secret intelligence, the military assessments, nor the legal advice which is available to the Prime Minister. If she decides to take action, she should not shield her decision by seeking a Parliamentary vote, writes James Gray

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad must be removed from office if he is found to be behind the suspected chemical weapons attack which killed dozens of civilians last week, a Shadow Cabinet minister has said.

Jeremy Corbyn has demanded that Parliament be given a vote on whether the UK takes part in military action against the Syrian regime.

Theresa May must recall parliament so MPs can discuss a possible military strike against Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, the SNP has declared.

Theresa May has called an emergency Cabinet meeting as the Government prepares to join military action against Bashar al-Assad's regime following the chemical attack on civilians in Syria.

Theresa May has paved the way for military action in Syria as she said "all the indications are" that the Assad regime was behind the chemical attack which killed dozens of civilians in the country.

It would be a "scandal" if Theresa May does not seek MPs' approval to launch bombing raids on Syria, the SNP has said.

Former Foreign Secretary William Hague has piled pressure on Theresa May to take military action against the Assad regime in Syria or risk legitimising chemical weapons.

Russia has compared the UK to Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels and warned the Government it is "playing with fire" by accusing it of being behind the poisoning of former double agent Sergei Skripal.

A former Labour frontbencher has accused the Government of using the Salisbury nerve agent attack to divert attention from its domestic problems.

North Korea is “almost certain” to have ballistic missiles within six to 18 months that have the ability to reach the UK, MPs have warned.

Jeremy Corbyn today said Boris Johnson had “egg on his face”, after the Foreign Secretary was left humiliated over comments he made about the Salisbury nerve agent attack.

Gavin Williamson has warned of the danger of Russian bots, comparing them to wartime Nazi propagandists.

The UK could be shut out of a lucrative EU satellite scheme worth hundreds of millions of pounds in contracts for British firms, according to reports.

After Salisbury, the government must re-evaluate the threats we face and ensure we learn the right lessons from previous mistakes, writes Stewart McDonald 

The argument for greater defence spending is rightly gaining momentum but money itself is not enough to resolve serious issues within the MoD, says Johnny Mercer
