MPs will decide later whether the UK should carry out bombing attacks on Islamic State militants in Syria. A mammoth 10-hour debate in the House of Commons will end with a vote on whether British forces should join the US, France, Russia and others carrying out air strikes in the war-torn country. UK Prime Minister David Cameron says IS is a threat to Britain's security, while Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn opposes bombing but has given MPs a free vote amid divisions within his own ranks. Here, DUP and UUP MPs have backed the Prime Minister while SDLP oppose it. Sinn Fein also oppose it but won't be voting as they don't take their seats in Westminster.
