MPs have been debating whether or not Britain should involve itself in air strikes in Syria.

Barnsley Labour MP Dan Jarvis says he will support the motion tonight, saying the action taking place in Iraq is "working" and it makes no sense not to extend it to Syria.

Mr Jarvis says there "is no realistic strategy" for defeating so-called Islamic State without attacking Raqqah in Syria.

He concludes the Labour Party has a "proud" history of standing up for the national interest when the country is under threat, and that IS are "the fascists of our time".

Some Labour MPs have been facing online abuse for backing further airstrikes in Syria.

Doncaster's MP and former leader of the Labour Party has tweeted this:

I've been in a Sheffield City Council meeting all afternoon during which a number of issues  have been raised, including a long discussion about changes to bus times in the city.

Protesters gathered outside the Town Hall to campaign against the changes.

Joanne Lumley has organised a petition on the bus cuts in the city, which so far over 12,380 people have now signed.

In total 14,403 people have signed various petitions about changes to bus services in Sheffield.   

Protest rallies organised by the Stop the War coalition against possible air strikes on Syria are taking place now in Barnsley and Sheffield.

Martin Mayer, Sheffield TUC secretary, says: "We should learn the lessons of previous UK interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya and keep well out."

Meanwhile, David Cameron has told the House of Commons that air strikes will make us safer. MPs are currently debating the issue and will vote later on whether the UK should begin bombing targets in Syria.

A keen horsewoman from Doncaster who fought a four-year legal battle over the sale of a "raving lunatic" pony could lose her house after being saddled with six-figure legal bills.

Lisa Walton paid Shan Allman, from Wales, £18,000 in May 2011 for Pirums Figaro. She wanted the thoroughbred for her daughter to ride competitively.

But Mrs Walton demanded her money back calling Figaro "positively dangerous". Mrs Allman refused to take the pony back or return the cash, claiming she had honestly described the pony's character before selling him.

The High Court has found in favour of Mrs Allman, leaving Mrs Walton to foot legal costs of £140,000.

A number of protests are going on at Sheffield Town Hall today:

One concerns changes to bus timetables in South Yorkshire, after new routes and timetables were announced just over a month ago. Over 12,000 people have so far signed a petition calling for these changes to be reversed. 

I arrived just as Liberal Democrat councillor Richard Shaw started speaking. Watch what he had to say below:

Other protests taking place here today include:

• A petition with 1,376 signatures being handed in, calling for support from Sheffield City Council for adult and community learning at threat from cuts
• Another petition being handed in to Sheffield City Council calling for selective licensing of landlords in Grimethorpe
• A Stop the War protest against action in Syria is also planned later this afternoon

Ambulance response times in Yorkshire are improving and more is being done to make them better, according to a new report by Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust.  

The service was criticised by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in its most recent report for not meeting response time targets for the most serious 999 calls.

I'm at a protest about changes to bus services which is ongoing outside Sheffield Town Hall.

It's just over a month since new routes and timetables were announced. More than 12,000 people have signed a petition calling for the changes to be reversed.

Councillor Shaffaq Mohammad (pictured) supports those who want the changes reversed.

Public Enemy founder Chuck D has called a photo of the band taken in the back of a fan's Ford Focus a "Bohemian Rhapsody moment".  

We told you yesterday that Kevin Wells, from Killamarsh, gave the hip-hop legends a lift when they were left stranded on Saturday.

Image source, Kevin Wells

Band frontman Chuck D say the lift was "a pleasure", and the band were "very grateful" to Mr Wells.

Once in the car, Chuck D says he kicked off an in-car rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, similar to that in 1992 comedy Wayne's World, although he himself did not sing.  

Apparently more geese are getting fattened up this year because of an increase in demand for them.

Just like these beauties at Firs Farm in Ringinglow...
