The Prime Minister opened a 10-and-a-half hour debate by saying we must target the “head of the snake” of ISIS in its Raqqa stronghold. As the debate went forward many MPs called on the Prime Minister to apologise for his comments, which he plainly refused.

He was interrupted by Labour, Lib Dem and SNP MPs demanding he
withdraw the controversial comments he made at a Tory meeting last
night. MPs, including leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn,
said they would be able to better “move on with the debate” if Cameron
were to retract his statement.
MPs will vote on RAF action
against ISIS in Syria after 10pm today, with at least 40 Labour MPs
expected to back the government. Encouraging MPs to support further military action, David Cameron
said we must “destroy this death cult or wait for them to attack us”.
In
reference to the Prime Minister’s controversial comments, Corbyn said
it “both demeans the office of the Prime Minister and undermines the
seriousness of the conversation we’re having today”.
