BBC News: Blair wins war backing amid revolt

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.

I've just heard, of all people, William Hague coming out with a great quote. On Clare Short: "I have never seen a more spectacular failure to resign. It was whispered in the corridors last week that the Prime Minister would take his revenge in due course, and in persuading her to stay on I think he has done just that."
