After a division vote was forced only by the intervention of Jeremy Corbyn and Mike Wood acting as tellers for the Nos, the result of the Palestinian Statehood vote was as follows: This House believes that the government should recognise the state of Palestine alongside the state of Israel. [Jack Straws amendment to recognise Palestine as a state as a contribution to securing a negotiated two-state solution was incorporated into the motion] Ayes: 274 Nos: 12 We will try to get a list of abstainers up on here as soon as it is published. Many thanks to Labour leftwingers Mike & Jeremy who ensured that there was a vote and that voters were represented in Parliament. Those who continue to play political games which deny democratic votes should hang their heads in shame.
