I spoke today in the six hour Commons debate on Iraq and ISIL. You can read my speech by clicking on the link below. While there are uncomfortable echoes to 2003, we are in a very different situation now. The Iraqi Government simply cannot cope with the threat from ISIS alone - they have asked for our help and we must be willing to respond. We cant sit back and let this barbarous group commit more atrocities. The UK should proceed cautiously, with a realistic and modest view of the scale of the contribution we can make: there is little appetite for involvement in a long-term campaign and this would be likely if we expanded our action into Syria. Do let me know your thoughts.
