Libya: the 13 rebel MPs

As expected, the Commons voted overwhelmingly in favour of military action (at an expected cost of around £6 million a day) in Libya by 557 to 13 – a majority of 544. Below is the full list of the 13 MPs who voted against the government. Conservative John Baron (Basildon and Billericay) Labour Graham Allen (Nottingham North) Ronnie Campbell (Blyth Valley) Jeremy Corbyn (Islington North) Barry Gardiner (Brent North) Roger Godsiff (Birmingham Hall Green) John McDonnell (Hayes and Harlington) Linda Riordan (Halifax) Dennis Skinner (Bolsover) Mike Wood (Batley and Spen) Green Caroline Lucas (Brighton Pavilion) SDLP Mark Durkan (Foyle) Margaret Ritchie (Down South) So far the action has cost us around £50 million pounds and the Libyan's untold damage and uncounted lives.
