UK 'NOT DOING ENOUGH' AGAINST ISLAMIC STATE

The UK is not contributing enough to the coalition against the Islamic State, according to a report from British MPs.

Britain is taking a 'strikingly modest role' in the campaign in Iraq and Syria, and it should be stepped up, says the Defence Select Committee.

It reports only 6% of coalition air strikes against IS have been carried out by the UK.

And it warns the Islamist group is the 'most significant threat' to international security to have come from the Middle East in decades.

The UK government insists it is playing a major part in 'comprehensive' action against IS.

But former Nato supreme commander, General Sir Richard Shirreff, says while no one is suggesting British boots on the ground - more must be offered by UK officials.
