Photography is not normally allowed in the division lobbies where MPs queue to register their votes, but on the occasion of Tuesday’s historic vote – in which Theresa May’s Brexit deal was crushed by 432 votes to 202 – members of the House of Commons were keen to capture the moment.
Several tweeted pictures of huddles of MPs crowding the “no” division. Which MPs can you spot in the images they shared? Let us know in the comments below. Check here to see how every MP cast their vote.
We spy Yvette Cooper, Iain Duncan Smith and Tim Farron here:

The “No” lobby is mobbed. Think we can safely say the Prime Minister’s #Brexit deal is sunk. pic.twitter.com/lWuiNkA0RN

In the no voting lobby to vote against this deal. I’ve rarely seen it this full. May has united the Commons against her and her deal. Next step #NoConfidenceNow pic.twitter.com/uFPp9Vx2gu

Ahead of the main vote, MPs voted on an amendment by the Conservative backbencher John Baron, which would have given the UK the unilateral right to terminate the Irish border backstop. The queue to vote no was even longer on this occasion: the Baron amendment was defeated by 600 votes to 24.
Despite the fact that this amendment clearly doesn’t have much support John Barron insisted on pushing it. So here we are..... longest queue in the ‘no’ lobby I’ve ever seen. #Brexit pic.twitter.com/dHPRVuF04I
