Is the UK still involved with this war?

There is very little coverage now of this in the online papers that I see ( I work offshore, have no TV and limited internet) from a point of describing the UKs role in it . Are the UK aircraft and UK forces in general still involved? Are our side (I assume we took a side) winning? (It looks badly as though they aren't).
If the Tornados are still involved, why such lack of interest on this website? if its a clampdown, for security reasons, Persec, all well and good and I will wind it in.
But is it a sign of the times when UK people risk their lives in combat abroad and little interest is expressed, even on Prune?
People say I live in the past and maybe I do, but I just find this...I don't know, disturbing.
What ever is going on, it appears IS are winning and are now right on the border of a NATO ally, looking at the Daily Telegraph. No debate on this at all?
My opinion-think we should still keep out, concentrate our defences around our own small precious group of islands.
Will IS attack Turkey? Is this likely?
