Farage: MPs reflected 'the will of the country' on Syria

Parliament has reflected "the will of the country" by refusing to back the Government on any possible military action in Syria, Ukip leader Nigel Farage has told Daybreak

He added that the Prime Minister's attempts to get MPs' backing on the issue "represents his worst misjudgement."

Mr Farage refuted claims that opting out of intervening in Syria made the UK a smaller country on the world stage as Britain had "set a good example" after "the mistakes" of wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.
