Has Angela Smith been bullied over the issue? Bar a few tweets, not particularly, she says. But she cites a "a fairly unpleasant" attack on former acting Labour leader Harriet Harman and says it's "utterly outrageous".
Quote MessageI'm not going to be bullied by anybody."

Labour MP Angela Smith, who's been consulting her constituents over military action in Syria, says she's very strongly minded to back air strikes in Syria, saying the case is "quite convincing".
Labour says 75% of party members oppose the bombing. Ms Smith says she’s not surprised by the result, suggesting it's been "a rather vague consultation". She adds that MPs have to take account of the views of party members, their constituents - but "above anything else" the national interest.

Before this afternoon's meeting with his shadow cabinet, Jeremy Corbyn has been speaking to members of Labour's ruling body - the National Executive Committee.
Pete Willsman, one of six members who represent constituency Labour parties, says the party's MPs should be made to vote against air strikes, believing the proposals are "dangerous and gung-ho".
He says there a should be a three-line whip "to stop as many Labour MPs as possible from going with the Tories", and goes on to criticise the behaviour of some of the Parliamentary Labour Party.
Quote MessageWho do these people think they are? It's just amazing. They're leaking to the press all the time. They're totally disloyal. It's just appalling, really. But Jeremy's so soft he wouldn't say boo to a goose, he's just good-natured. I would be much tougher with these people. The NEC will be much tougher with them: we've got a lot of tough people on the NEC."

As MPs work out their position on whether to extend UK air strikes against so-called Islamic State in to Syria, what do Syrians themselves want?
Muzna Al-naib, an activist with Syria Solidarity UK, says President Bashar al-Assad needs to be defeated before the extremist group can be tackled.
She said David Cameron should make the "protection of civilians from Assad" the priority, "rather than sending more bombs to Syria". She say Assad has "killed far more civilians than ISIS ever did".

Chancellor George Osborne has defended the Conservative Party chairman Lord Feldman, saying he is an "outstanding party chairman and a person of real integrity".
Speaking on a visit to Crewe, he was asked if Lord Feldman should resign following allegations that a youth organiser bullied a young activist who apparently took his own life. Mr Osborne said Lord Feldman was doing an "excellent job".
"We want to get the bottom of what went wrong and don't want it to happen again."
He said the inquiry would report into the Conservative Party Board which is "full of independently minded people" and the process was being overseen by a lawyer.
Dr Sarah Wollaston, Conservative MP and chair of the health select committee, says the sugar tax would make a difference and make people healthier. She adds it's not a tax on all sugar just on fizzy drinks and could "nudge" people into buying a diet option.
Neil Parish, Conservative MP, disagreed with her argument saying people needed to be weened off sugar by working with the drinks industry to reduce the amount of sugar. He says he fears the poorest people would end up paying the tax the most.
Labour's Rupa Huq's points out the experts are all in favour of a sugar tax such as the BMA.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's team have released the results of their sample of emails received about the issue of extending the UK's air strikes against IS targets from Iraq to Syria.
They say that according to their sampling of the 107,875 emailed responses, 75% were opposed to bombing IS in Syria, so backed leader Jeremy Corbyn's view.
The party says 64,771 of the responses were from full Labour Party members and they say that from their "random sampling" 13% were for UK bombing of IS targets in Syria with 11% undecided.
Mr Corbyn is due to meet his shadow cabinet at 2pm to discuss the issue. Although he is opposed to UK bombing targets in Syria a number of his shadow cabinet are known to disagree.
Shadow Leader of the House of Commons Chris Bryant has said he would prefer a free vote over the matter of whether the UK extends air strikes to combat so-called Islamic State from Iraq into Syria, and suggested that hoping for a diplomatic solution without military action could leave Britain “unprotected and insecure”.
He said he was ready to support strikes “when a French Socialist president is in favour, when the whole of the United Nations is in favour, the international community is in favour, and when we’re already bombing ISIL in Iraq”.
Asked what he would say at this afternoon’s Shadow Cabinet meeting, he said: “It depends a bit on what Jeremy says.”
Quote MessageI’d prefer it to be a free vote… I want to listen to the leader of my party; he’s [been] elected with a massive mandate within the party but I’ve expressed what my personal preference is. And what my anxiety is that I vote against any kind of military action against ISIL, will I, you know, I mean I had somebody send me an email earlier saying couldn’t we just appoint a negotiator to negotiate between ISIL and us…that is just fundamentally naive, dangerously naive, and leaves British people unprotected and insecure. So yes, I’d prefer it to be a free vote if Jeremy’s going to vote, is ardent in one view, and obviously I take a different view.”

Diane Abbott has said the threat of mass shadow cabinet resignations over Syria has been "exaggerated".
She insisted Jeremy Corbyn did not want to lose members of his front bench team but said the party was looking to him to "show leadership" in opposing bombing
The shadow international development secretary told the BBC News Channel she expected 75-80% of party members to have opposed air strikes in Mr Corbyn's online consultation carried out over the weekend.
The parliamentary Labour Party was also "coming round" to opposing military action, she added.
On the climate change conference in Paris, Conservative MP Neil Parish defends the government's record on green issues saying "you come to Devon and I'll show you exactly what's happened".
He says the UK needs to help developing countries to reduce their carbon emissions such as the Far East, China and India. He says it is a global issues.
He says the government's record isn't bad at all, adding "we are doing our bit".
He says agreeing the 2% target will have a big impact on global warning.
The Defence Secretary Michael Fallon says the governments needs to "continue to build" support amongst MPs for action in Syria.
Speaking to the BBC Mr Fallon wouldn't be drawn on whether there would be a vote this week or what the Government would do if Jeremy Corbyn whips his MPs.
He said: "This isn't just about Jeremy Corbyn - it's about parliament as a whole to respond.. .and be determined to do more in our self defence to keep our country safe."
He said the Government was "continuing to build the case".
"We don't know what Labour's front bench will do but we're talking to MPs on all side."
Asked if there would be a vote this week he said "we need to continue to build it".
Conservative Neil Parish disagrees that Lord Feldman should resign, but says there should be an independent inquiry.
He says "justice should be seen to be done" adding there has to be "accountability". He says he thought the decision for Grant Shapps to resign was the right thing to do. He says the problem needs to be "stamped out".
Conservative MP Neil Parish says "people don't expect taxpayers money to fund politics" but he also says it is good to have a fully functioning opposition.

The prime minister's spokesman has confirmed that Labour MPs who are privy councillors are being briefed by security and intelligence officials about the government's plans to strike Islamic State targets in Syria.
The spokesman refused to say how many firm pledges of support the government had received from Labour MPs. He would also not say how the PM defines the "clear majority" that he says is necessary before putting a motion before the House of Commons. He said there was no timetable for any vote and would not say if the PM would press ahead with a vote if Labour decides to oppose any further military action.
He said the government's focus was on providing as much information for MPs as it could.
