Despite speculation that a number of Labour MPs would vote against the bill, including Diane Abbott, only one did so - Abbott's hard left colleague Bell Ribeiro-Addy. Abbott and twelve of her Socialist Campaign Group comrades abstained, along with a number of centrist Remainers, making 37 Labour rebels in total. Three fairly minor resignations have been tendered from Starmer's front bench as a result of the abstentions.
Helen Hayes (Dulwich & West Norwood) was the most senior resignation. The Shadow Cabinet Office Minister released a lengthy statement on her website, saying she couldn't vote for such a 'damaging deal' and called the rushed nature of proceedings a 'national disgrace'.
Florence Eshalomi (Vauxhall) resigned as an opposition whip and Tonia Antoniazzi (Gower) resigned as a Parliamentary Private Secretary, sharing her resignation letter on Twitter.
The 521 ayes in favour were as follows:
Conservative - 359
Labour - 162
The 73 noes against were as follows:
Labour - 1 (Bell Ribeiro-Addy)
SNP - 44
Lib Dems - 11
DUP - 8
Plaid - 3
SDLP - 2
Alliance - 1
Green - 1
Independents - 2
There were two Conservative abstentions - Owen Paterson and John Redwood.
