The vast majority of Labour MPs (and MPs from across the Commons) voted in favour of airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq today, but 24 Labour MPs voted against the party whip and opposed airstrikes. One of them (Rushanara Ali) resigned as a Shadow Education Minister as a result of a “formal abstention”. Here’s the full list of Labour’s 24 rebels:
Diane Abbott
Graham Allen
Anne Begg
Ronnie Campbell
Martin Caton

Paul Flynn
Stephen Hepburn
Kate Hoey

*Iain McKenzie is a PPS to Vernon Coaker the Shadow Defence Secretary and Margaret Curran the Shadow Scotland Secretary. It has just been confirmed that he has been sacked from both roles.
