Before we try to give IS a kicking….

Jeremy Corbyn will grant Labour MPs a free vote on UK air strikes against so-called Islamic State in Syria.

Mr Corbyn's spokesman said the shadow cabinet had "accepted his recommendation" of a free vote.

He has also requested a two-day debate in the House of Commons beforehand.

BBC chief political correspondent Vicki Young said Mr Corbyn had wanted Labour to adopt a policy of opposition to air strikes, but was forced to back down by his shadow cabinet.

The leader was given a "thorough kicking" in the meeting, she was told.
