JEREMY Corbyn has revealed he may end air strikes on Islamic State if he wins power.

The Labour leader questioned whether the RAF mission in Syria and Iraq is working.

And he insisted he wanted to "go back to a political solution", rather than "deepening and extending military activities".

RAF jets and drones have carried out more than 1,000 strikes against ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria and helped strip the warped group of a third of its territory.

But Mr Corbyn told the BBC last night: “I'm not sure it's working.

"I think there has to be a political solution that brings together everybody, with the exception of IS, to isolate them".

Challenged again on whether he would continue with the campaign against ISIS, he said: "I would ask the effects of it - I would ask who's being killed as a result of it, and ask what are the political effects of it".

Long-standing anti-war campaigner Mr Corbyn voted against air strikes on the warped movement in both Iraq and Syria during House of Commons debates.
