These are the latest figures the BBC has compiled of MPs' voting intentions in tomorrow's Commons debate on whether to approve UK bombing in Syria.

The SNP's Angus Robertson tweeted earlier about a "cross-party" amendment to the government's motion on Syria.

The amendment states that the House "does not believe that the case for the UK's participation in the ongoing air campaign in Syria by 10 countries has been established" and so "declines to authorise military action" against IS.

It's spearheaded by Conservative MP and Foreign Affairs Committee member John Baron, and Mr Robertson. Other signatories include Labour's Graham Allen, Plaid Cymru's Hywel Williams, the SDLP's Alasdair McDonnell and Green MP Caroline Lucas.

The wording states that the House of Commons:

The chancellor has admitted renegotiating the UK's relationship with the EU will be "challenging" and suggested the migrant crisis could be "broadly helpful".

George Osborne said migration issues had "shot up the EU agenda" and there was an "awareness" of the challenge of migration.

Appearing before the Treasury Select Committee, Mr Osborne admitted there were "tough talks" ahead as the renegotiation continues.

He said the UK would conclude negotiations as soon as possible but if a referendum had to take place in the latter part of 2017 then it would.

Quizzed on the possibility of achieving a four-year ban on in-work benefits for migrants - deemed to be the most difficult aspect of reform - the chancellor said other EU countries were "seeking to be helpful".

He said the government would only change domestic welfare rules if it was of benefit to the UK, and they were seeking changes that were "achievable at European level".

Mr Osborne could not quantify the projected impact of curbing in-work benefits on migration figures but said it would reduce the number of migrants seeking work in the UK.

Turning our attention away from domestic politics for a moment,  the European Union is getting into the festive spirit with its very own  advent calendar, external, in the count down to Christmas Day.

Apparently, it will be offering "an informative and sometimes amusing take on how the EU works" and is "much healthier... than the chocolate variety".

So what treat do they offer on day one? "Safer presents thanks to European Commission Rapid alert system."

A new "fact" will be updated each day.

Labour MP and former soldier Dan Jarvis has said he is to back the government's proposal for military action in Syria.

Writing in the New Statesman, external, Mr Jarvis said he had made clear he would only support air strikes "if it was framed within a wider strategy", and added:

The father of a man who was found dead after he was allegedly bullied in the Conservative Party has called for the party chairman to resign.

Ray Johnson, whose 21-year-old son Elliott died in September, said responsibility "lays squarely on the shoulders of Lord Feldman". Co-chairman Grant Shapps has resigned as minister.

Claims of bullying have centred around former youth campaign organiser Mark Clarke, who denies any wrongdoing.

The Conservative Party did not comment.

During his interview with BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg, Jeremy Corbyn was asked if, as PM, he would call a halt to existing RAF airstrikes against IS in Iraq?

The Labour leader said he “would look at” the effect and “effectiveness” of the UK’s current airstrikes in the country. But would he halt them? “I wouldn’t say that”, he said, but added that he “would look at it".

In a lighter moment during his appearance before the Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee earlier, former defence secretary Liam Fox recalls how military maps had to be changed for National Security Council meetings in 2011 because both he and ex-foreign secretary William Hague are colour-blind.

The prime minister's official spokeswoman has defended the government's assertion that there were could be 70,000 people in Syria ready to oppose IS.  

She said a claim by Labour MP Louise Haigh that the National Security Advisor had briefed that 30,000 of them were "radical Islamists" was a "misrepresentation of the discussion and briefings" that the MP had received.

The spokeswoman said: "We have been clear that there are 70,000 opposition forces on the ground who believe in a pluralistic Syria and reject terrorism and that remains our position". But she acknowledged there were multiple groups and there were a range of views within the 70,000.

Asked if the government was confident of winning a majority in Wednesday's vote, she said "we have made the case, we keep making the case".  The real question for MPs, she said, was about the direct threat IS poses to the UK and "are we going to take action to degrade and destroy that force".

Labour shadow minister Louise Haigh - who opposes air strikes in Syria - has claimed on Twitter that a national security adviser told MPs that of the 70,000 Syrian fighters David Cameron says exist and could take the ground fight to IS, 40,000 are moderate and the other 30,000 are "radical Islamists".

Her tweet came after she attended a briefing ahead of tomorrow's vote in the Commons.

But other MPs accused her of giving a false account of the meeting.

Conservative MP Gavin Barwell tweeted: "That is NOT what [the adviser] said" while Labour shadow foreign minister Stephen Doughty also disputed her account and criticised her for speaking publicly about the information.

Mr Doughty tweeted: "He didn't say that Louise - and dismay in room from all sides (pro/against/unsure) that you have tweeted that from the meeting."

He added that the national security adviser "actually had to explain afterwards to clarify because you had tweeted. You'd left I think?"

Ms Haigh said she was "happy to correct" if she had got the information wrong but insisted there was "no suggestion it was confidential briefing".

Angus Robertson says David Cameron has not addressed the questions that the SNP has about bombing militants in Syria and therefore, in "all good conscience" the party's 56 MPs cannot support the government in Wednesday's vote. The party's Westminster leader says the SNP is not convinced that bombing alone is a solution to curbing terrorism or ending the civil war in Syria. He accuses the UK of allowing other countries to "make the running" at the United Nations in terms of laying a diplomatic and political track to a viable peace process.

Jeremy Corbyn repeated his call to Labour MPs and his shadow cabinet to vote against military action in Syria.
