How North East MPs voted as Boris Johnson's general election bid is rejected again

MPs have again rejected Boris Johnson's calls for a snap election.

The Prime Minister said he wanted to head to the polls next month to break the political deadlock, as he accused opposition parties of making "outrageous excuses" to delay.

But Labour and other opposition MPs refused to back the bid on Monday night.

In all, 293 MPs voted for Mr Johnson's motion for an early poll - far short of the 434 needed in the Commons. Many did not vote.

This was the Prime Minister's second attempt to trigger an election.

Parliament was then officially suspended - or prorogued - just before 2am on Tuesday and will reopen on October 14.

So how did North East MPs vote on Monday night? See the full list below.
