Cameron wins Syria airstrikes vote by majority of 174 – as it happened

• Britain will join the coalition of nations conducting airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Syria after MPs in the House of Commons voted to authorise the UK’s participation. MPs voted 397 to 223 in favour of sending RAF Tornados into the skies over Syria, after an all-day debate in parliament. As Patrick Wintour reports, 66 Labour MPs backed the government in defiance of the party leader, Jeremy Corbyn. In a day of soul searching, recrimination and often heartfelt speeches, it became clear David Cameron was guaranteed a clear overall majority. Corbyn, who was forced by divisions in his party to give his MPs a free vote, will be pleased that a majority of his MPs and nearly half the shadow cabinet opposed strikes. But his foreign affairs spokesman, Hilary Benn, prompted rare applause when he gave an impassioned speech, regarded as the best of the debate, in favour of strikes. “We are here faced by fascists. Not just their calculated brutality, but their belief that they are superior to every single one of us in this chamber tonight and all of the people we represent. They hold us in contempt,” he said.

That’s all from us for today.

Thanks for the comments.

The Stop the War Coalition has put out a statement about the result of the vote. Here’s an extract.

We are pleased that a large majority of Labour MPs voted with their leader, Jeremy Corbyn, to oppose this Tory war. However, we feel the speeches and votes of pro-war Labour MPs shows how little they understand the lessons of Iraq and other previous wars. Like the Bourbons they have learnt nothing and forgotten nothing. None of the wars launched by the UK and US from Afghanistan in 2001, through Iraq in 2003 to Libya in 2011, has yet ended. Millions still suffer from those decisions - today’s vote will add millions more.

Sky’s Faisal Islam has a breakdown of how members of the shadow cabinet voted.

On Newsnight Philip Hammond, the foreign secretary, warnsthat airstrikes against Isis could go on for quite some time. Asked if they could last as long as four years, he replies:

I hope it won’t be four years, but I caution that it isn’t going to be months.

David Cameron has tweeted his reaction to the result.

My colleague Patrick Wintour has more on the voting.

Here is the Guardian’s front page.

Our reporter Ben Quinn sends this from the protest in Parliament Square:

The anti-war protest outside Westminster included members of Momentum, the movement set up in the wake Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour leadership victory, who carried a large red banner.

Max Schnieder, a Momentum organiser, rejected the suggestion that the movement would be mobilised against MPs who voted for airstrikes.

We have made it absolutely clear that we are not campaigning on deselection. Of course, we think that people who are voting on bombing are wrong and we are disappointed in each person that we were unable to win the argument with them.

We have been encouraging our supporters and others who are opposed to bombing to write to their MPs and tell them that David Cameron has not made the case for war and so we are here in solidarity with the other protestors.

Danny Hackett, a Labour party councillor from Bexley, had words with a couple of protestrrs as a policeman looked on, describing Momentum as “scum”.

“Momentum are not here to campaign for the Labour party. They are here to push their own agenda. I you compare them to Progress, who I am a member of, they are out there fighting for the Labour party,” he said.

Hackett, who walked over to the protest in the company of two friends, including a former Conservative councillor, added: “At this moment in time, I have more in common with the Conservatives than with Momentum and that is a great shame.”

Belinda Chapman, who was carrying a Stop the War placard, remonstrated with Bexley when she heard him criticising Momentum. “I have been a member of the Labour party for many years, although I left during the Blair era. I was sitting here and couldn’t believe it when a Labour party councillor came over to say that he wanted to bomb Syria. We want them out of our party. We want Eagle out, Benn out..all of them.”

She agreed with Bexley on one point : it felt as if they were in two different parties.

The pilots and other aircrew at the home of the Tornados, RAF Marham in Norfolk, have been working to get two more jets ready to fly out to reinforce UK planes already in action as quickly as possible after the Commons vote.

They will bring the total number of Tornados up to 10, allowing the RAF to increase sorties from two a day.

Captain Richard Davies, a Tornado pilot and station commander, said: “We have aircraft at a readiness state so they are prepared and ready to deploy.”

How soon could the RAF be in action over Syria ? “If a vote yes, if Tornados flying at that time and if there is a target in Syria, UK bombing could happen overnight … If all those ducks are aligned and the aircraft are airborne at that moment and a target comes up they will go. It depends where they are. If we are airborne in Iraq and the vote is yes we could be targeting on that mission,” Davies said.

Engineers and ground crew were working on the two jets while the air crew underwent last-minute training in the air and with simulators.

Some of the staff have already flown missions over Iraq and see little difference in expanding into Syria other than relishing the prospect of the freedom of being able to continue pursuit of Islamic State on the other side of the border.

In pooled copy from the base, one of the weapons crew, whose has to remain anonymous, was asked by a reporter what it felt like when he knew he was going to fire a weapon.

“Blood pressure goes up, heart rate increases. You hear breathing rates increase and you know the next event will be potentially the weapon coming off the aircraft. Once you get over that initial ‘right this is it’. then ….it is part of the routine.”

For some weapons, it is just a matter of of sending them to a GPS coordinate. But the Brimstone missile, touted by prime minister David Cameron as a precision weapon that reduces the chance of civilian casualties, the weapons operator said that if “you have fired something like Brimstone then you can have another peak in your blood pressure and your breathing and your heart rate (goes up) especially as a back seater (weapons systems operator) because I am now guiding that weapon into the target.”

One of the pilots, also anonymous, added: “The weapon is very precise. You can deploy it extremely accurately. It has got a small warhead, which means there is a limited effect. Hopefully you will only have the effect that you want on the target. You can employ in an urban area and have the desired effect that you want on the target and people standing only a number of yards away from it will hear a bang but can expect to be unaffected by that warhead going off.”

This is from the FT’s George Parker.

Hilary Benn's speech - Analysis and all the key extracts

Andrew Sparrow

Today’s debate will be remembered for Hilary Benn’s extraordinary wind-up speech, in which he powerfully (but politely) challenged his own leader and asserted Labour’s claim to the party of activist, hard-edged internationalism. The Nato tradition in the party has always been much more dominant than the pacifist tradition and Benn reached back into history, and to Labour’s role in the creation of the United Nations after the second world war, to justify supporting airstrikes. It is very, very rare for MPs to applaud in the Commons but they applauded Benn because they recognised that this was something special (just as they applauded Robin Cook when he spoke against the Iraq war in 2003). Even before today people were speculating about Benn as an alternative party leader; after tonight that chatter will only grow louder.

Here are key extracts from the speech.

Introduction

Although my right honourable friend the leader of the opposition and I will walk into different division lobbies tonight. I am proud to speak from the same dispatch box as him. My right honourable friend is not a terrorist sympathizer. He is an honest, a principled, a decent and a good man and I think the prime minister must now regret what he said yesterday and his failure to do what he should have done today which is to say sorry...

The question which confronts us in a very, very complex conflict is – at its heart – very simple. What we do with others to confront this threat to our citizens, our nation, other nations and the people who suffer under the cruel yoke of Daesh. The carnage in Paris brought home to us the clear and present danger we face from them. It could just as easily have been London or Glasgow or Leeds or Birmingham and it could still be...

The threat of Isil

It was a Labour government that helped to found the United Nations at the end of the second world war and why did we do so? Because we wanted the nations of the world to work together to deal with threats to international peace and security. And Daesh is unquestionably that …

Now Mr Speaker, no one in this debate doubts the deadly serious threat we face from Daesh and what they do, although sometimes we find it hard to live from the reality.

We know that in June, four gay men were thrown off the fifth story of a building [in a Syrian city]. We know that in August the 82-year-old guardian of the antiquities of Palmyra, Professor Khaled al-Asaad, was beheaded and his beheaded body was hung from a traffic light. And we know that in recent weeks there has been the discovery of mass graves in Sinjar, one containing the bodies of older Yazidi women murdered by Daesh because they were judged too old to be sold for sex.

We know they have killed 30 British tourists in Tunisia. 224 Russian holidaymakers on a plane. 178 people in suicide bombings in Beirut, Ankara and Surat. 130 people in Paris, including those young people in the Bataclan, whom Daesh in trying to justify their slaughter called them apostates engaged in prostitution and vice. If it had happened here, they could have been our children and we know that they are plotting more attacks.

Standing with the French

So the question is this, given that we know what they are doing, can we really stand aside and refuse to act fully in our self defence against those who are planning those attacks.can we really leave to others the responsibility for defending our national security when it is our responsibility and if they do we do not act what kind of message would that send about our solidarity with those countries that have suffered so much including Iraq and our ally France.

Now France wants us to stand with them and President Hollande the leader of our sister socialist party has asked for our assistance and help...

To his Labour colleagues

Mr Speaker, I hope the House will bear with me if I direct my closing remarks to my Labour friends and colleagues on this side of the house. As a party, we have always been defined by our internationalism. We believe we have a responsibility, one to another. We never have and we never should walk by on the other side of the road.

And we are here faced by fascists. Not just their calculated brutality, but their belief that they are superior to every single one of us in this chamber tonight and all of the people we represent. They hold us in contempt. They hold our values in contempt. They hold our belief in tolerance and decency in contempt. They hold our democracy – the means by which we will make our decision tonight – in contempt.

And what we know about fascists is that they need to be defeated and it is why, as we have heard tonight, socialists and trade unionists were just one part of the international brigade in the 1930s to fight against Franco. It’s why this entire House stood up against Hitler and Mussolini. It’s why our party has always stood up against the denial of human rights and for justice and my view, Mr Speaker, is that we must now confront this evil. It is now time for us to do our bit in Syria and that is why I ask my colleagues to vote in favour of this motion tonight.

There have been rumours that Rosie Winterton, the Labour chief whip, voted with the government. But she didn’t, the Mirror reports.
