Which Labour MPs voted in today’s Trident debate?

John McDonnell last night said it was nothing more than a “stunt”, while Ian Murray said it was a “political game”.

The SNP’s Opposition Day debate on Trident today appeared to be designed to highlight Labour’s divisions, and the leadership was recommending abstention from voting for MPs.

However, 6 Labour MPs voted with the SNP (and against current Labour policy) to oppose Trident renewal, while a further 14 ignored the advice to abstained and voted in favour of Trident. In the end, the SNP’s motion was defeated by 330 votes to 60. As an Opposition Day debate, the motion would not have been binding on the Government even if it was successful.

Here are how Labour MPs voted:

Against Trident:

Roger Godsiff
Ronnie Campbell
Kelvin Hopkins
Graham Stringer
Dennis Skinner
Geoffrey Robinson

For Trident:

Kevin Barron
Ben Bradshaw
Mary Creagh
Chris Evans
Jim Fitzpatrick
