It's been a busy morning of political interviews:

• Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told Andrew Marr he had not yet decided whether to offer his MPs a free vote on extending UK air strikes to Syria. Mr Corbyn set out his own opposition to action - and said the views of Labour members - who polling shows are largely against military intervention - had to be heard.
• On his position as leader, Mr Corbyn said he was "not going anywhere".
• We also heard from Defence Secretary Michael Fallon, who said ministers would "keep building the case" for air strikes as there is not yet a clear Commons majority in favour. A vote is expected next week.
• Meanwhile, Mr Fallon said it was right that former Conservative chairman Grant Shapps resigned as a minister over allegations of bullying within the party. The Conservatives released more details of their investigation into bullying allegations.

YouGov's poll shows stark differences between Labour members, Labour voters and the public at large.

Away from the Syria debate, the Conservative Party has given more details of its investigation into bullying allegations. Law firm Clifford Chance is looking into the allegations surround the death of Conservative activist Elliott Johnson. It is also examining allegations about the behaviour of youth organiser Mark Clarke, who has rejected allegations of bullying, sexual assault and intimidation.

In addition, the party said it had taken written statements from "over 40 witnesses".

Conservative chairman Lord Feldman is a "witness in this investigation but is not otherwise participating in the process", the party said.

Grant Shapps quit as an international development minister yesterday amid claims he failed to act on the allegations while he was Conservative chairman.

This was the moment Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn insisted he is "not going anywhere", amid reports of potential leadership challenges against him from his MPs. Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr show, when asked if he was looking at the next Prime Minister, Mr Corbyn replied: "I hope you are."

On the Sunday Politics London, Labour's mayoral candidate for the capital Sadiq Khan says he has not yet made up his mind on backing UK air strikes in Syria - and will decide when he sees the motion put forward by the government.

Former Conservative Defence Secretary Liam Fox backs extending UK air strikes against IS to Syria. On the claim of 70,000 ground troops, he says: "There is a potential force of that size", adding that "the longer we wait...the smaller that force is likely to be". Mr Fox says we need to grasp the scale of the threat IS poses to the UK. "They hate us because of who we are," he says.

George Galloway sets out his opposition to extending UK air strikes over Syria. "We are steeped in blood so far, but it's bloodier to go on," he says. Most attacks by so-called Islamic State were carried out by people already living in the countries involved, he says, saying the UK should instead support those fighting against IS on the ground. It is "farcical" to suggest there are 70,000 moderate troops on the ground, he says, adding he would be surprised if there were 700.

BBC Sunday Politics

Shadow justice secretary Lord Falconer says he doesn't think Labour's differences over air strikes in Syria can be reconciled, and suggests he thinks MPs will be offered a free vote.

Lord Falconer adds that this is "not the second" to start talking about Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. He says that "Labour is holding together".

Paris-style attacks could "easily" happen in UK cities such as London, Manchester or Glasgow, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon told the BBC's Andrew Marr earlier. He said Britain was already a top target for IS and that an attack was now "highly likely".

Labour MP Stephen Kinnock compares Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to "Marmite".

"It's one of those where people love it or they don't," he says. On the doorstep, some people say he is a "breath of fresh air", Mr Kinnock says, while others "are just not that happy with some of the things that have happened" since he became leader. Mr Kinnock adds:

• Paris-style attacks could "easily" happen in UK cities such as London, Manchester or Glasgow, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has warned.
• The government has been trying to win MPs' backing for air strikes against Islamic State (IS) fighters in Syria.
• Mr Fallon told the BBC it was dangerous not to try to defeat IS with force.
• But he admitted it would be harder to get the support of the Commons if Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn ordered his MPs to vote against air strikes.
• Mr Corbyn told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show that no decision had been made on whether MPs would be whipped into voting against the strikes.
• "We will have a further discussion on this and come to a decision as a party," he said. He added that many MPs had told him they were yet to make a decision about the vote.
• Mr Corbyn said he also feared that bombing Syria could increase the amount of people becoming radicalised.

On Labour's divisions over Syria air strikes, former shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna says: "There's no shame in there being a broad range of views on issues of war and peace" within a party. Even if a free vote is not offered, he will vote with his conscience, he adds. Mr Umunna says he is "minded to support" military intervention against so-called Islamic State.

How about Mr McDonnell's decision to quote Chairman Mao in his response to last week's Spending Review? The media have overblown it, he says. Mr Osborne has held on to the copy of the Little Red Book which he threw to him across the Despatch Box, the shadow chancellow adds.

John McDonell is asked about claims in The Times, external that in 1986 he said the "ballot, the bullet and the bomb" could unite Ireland.

"I did not say that in those terms certainly", he says. He says he has apologised for previous comments but does not recognise this one. He was organising tours with Sinn Fein councillors in the 1980s as part of a peace initiative, he says.

Two big political stories - the pending vote on Syria and allegations of bullying within the Conservative Party - feature heavily in the Sunday paper. Read a full digest here.
