Brexit vote result: Which Tory MPs defied Boris Johnson's threats to stand in the way of no-deal?

Boris Johnson announced he will seek to trigger a snap election after 21 Conservative MPs rebelled during a crunch vote.

MPs voted in favour of allowing a cross-party alliance to take control of the Commons agenda on Wednesday in a bid to block a no-deal Brexit on 31 October by 328 votes to 301.

Analysis of the Commons division list showed 21 Tories rebelled to support the motion on Tuesday night.

The government has said the whip will be withdrawn from all of those who rebelled. 

Shortly after the results were announced, the prime minister said he would table a motion under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act. 

But Labour indicated that they would not support the move until chances of a no-deal Brexit were taken off the table.

The 21 Conservative MPs listed as voting for the motion were:​

Guto Bebb (Aberconwy)

Richard Benyon (Newbury)

Steve Brine (Winchester)

Alistair Burt (North East Bedfordshire)

Greg Clark (Tunbridge Wells)

Kenneth Clarke (Rushcliffe)

David Gauke (South West Hertfordshire)

Justine Greening (Putney)

Dominic Grieve (Beaconsfield)

Sam Gyimah (East Surrey)

Philip Hammond (Runnymede and Weybridge)

Stephen Hammond (Wimbledon)

Richard Harrington (Watford)

Margot James (Stourbridge)

Oliver Letwin (West Dorset)

Anne Milton (Guildford)

Caroline Nokes (Romsey and Southampton North)

Antoinette Sandbach (Eddisbury)

Nicholas Soames (Mid Sussex)

Rory Stewart (Penrith and The Border)

Edward Vaizey (Wantage)
