The Birmingham Mail reports that Jones said she would rather become a “black widow” suicide bomber than marry again, as jihadi widows are expected to.
David Cameron confirmed the vote among MPs will take place this Wednesday.
It will kill far more ordinary civilians than were killed by Isis terrorists in Paris, and therefore, like Isis’ is itself an act of terrorism.
ISIL, also known as ISIS or Daesh, claimed responsibility for the attacks.
And David Cameron claims Britain must attack ISIL in their headquarters in the city of Raqqa, in northern Syria, to keep us safe. Returning to Downing Street after attending the opening of worldwide climate change talks in Paris yesterday, the Prime Minister said there was “growing support” across Parliament to join a growing global coalition in Syria. Eight Tornados are already stationed at RAF Akrotiri, where they have been launching from for Operation Shader – the UK’s bombing mission against Isis in Iraq that started in September 2014.
“We have to think about what us bombing Syria will add to the current process that is already going on there; probably not much”.
While Ken Livingstone witters on about deploying Chinese and Brazilian peacekeepers to tackle Isil – has anyone on Copacabana even heard of them? – his allies on the Left are so bereft of informed argument that they have been reduced to good, old-fashioned scaremongering, telling MPs that they will be responsible for “killing babies” if they back air strikes.
But no less the answer to bombing Prime Minister Cameron insists is more bombing.
“We believe that the escalation of United Kingdom involvement in bombing raids is potentially playing into the terrorists hands, making the United Kingdom an even more likely terrorist target and contributing nothing to the urgent and compelling need for a negotiated peace amongst the different factions fighting in Syria”.

Labour MPs are reported to have criticised Mr Corbyn’s tactics during a lively meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) on Monday night, with former Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said to have accused him of trying to divide the party. “Nor has he been able to explain what credible and acceptable ground forces could retake and hold territory freed from ISIS control by an intensified air campaign”.
