Britain is "letting down" its allies by not taking part in attacking Isil's key strongholds in Syria, the head of the Armed Forces has said.
General Sir Nicholas Houghton, the Chief of the Defence Staff, said it "makes no sense" that RAF airstrikes in Iraq stop at the border, when Britain knows ISIS has based its stronghold in Syria.
His comments come as John Woodcock, the chair of Labour’s internal defence committee, says the “majority” of the Party's MPs remain “open minded” to possibility of British military intervention in Syria.
