Amid dramatic scenes in the Commons, 217 MPs - as many as 139 of them Labour backbenchers - backed a rebel amendment opposing the government's stance on Iraq, saying there is no moral justification for war without a new UN resolution. A motion backing the government's position was passed by 412 vote to 149.
Not in my name, for what little it's worth.
