Afshin Rattansi goes underground on the UK Foreign Affairs Select Committee, international coalition against ISIL, child abuse and tax credits. From his office in Whitehall, Crispin Blunt, chair of the FAC, discusses reporting to the PM on Syrian airstrikes, defeating Daesh (Arabic term for Islamic State) and working with France, the US and Russia to stabilize the region.
