David Cameron has just informed the House of Commons that an RAF drone killed several ISIL fighters in Syria in a targeted strike in Syria. Two of those killed were British citizens who Cameron said were planning terrorist strikes against this country.

It will be interesting to see whether Jeremy Corbyn chooses to intervene in the Commons debate that is following this revelation.
