We can all see that Syria’s leader is an evil and murderous dictator. It is probably true that he is using chemical weapons against his enemies. Russia’s support for Assad is a particular complication.
The truth is that there are no winners in this situation.
For my part I see no plan, as yet, and more importantly, no strategy and exit. As always, you have to ask whether by getting involved we make things worse not better.
I will be there when parliament is recalled. I will listen to the arguments made.
There is a free vote, no whipping, and no advice from government as to the PMs view. There are differences of opinion across all political opinions.
I can say, at the moment, that I am not in favour of any military action.
