-

Kevin Barron

The veteran MP has been Rother Valley MP since 1983 and stands down at the next election. He voted for Theresa May’s deal and confirmed he will back Mr Johnson today. He is a former chairman of the Parliament­ary Standards and Privileges Committee.

Rosie Cooper

The West Lancashire MP backed Mrs May’s Withdrawal Agreement and is expected to vote for Mr Johnson’s deal today. In 2017 she was the target of a neo-nazi murder plot. She subsequent­ly told MPS to “do our utmost” to defend democracy.

Jim Fitzpatric­k

The Poplar and Limehouse MP who supported Theresa May’s deal this week estimated that 10 to 20 Labour party members could vote for Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal.

The Don Valley MP and former Europe minister backed Theresa May’s deal and is one of 19 Labour MPS who told the EU on Oct 8 they would vote for a deal and hoped the EU “will not be attracted to the option of further delay”. Despite backing Remain in the 2016 referendum, her northern constituen­cy voted Leave.

John Mann

The MP for Bassetlaw said last month that he would step down at the next election to take up a role as the Government’s anti-semitism tsar. Soon afterwards he was nominated for the House of Lords in Mrs May’s resignatio­n honours list. He has previously voted for Mrs May’s deal.

Sarah Champion

Elected Rotherham’s first female MP in 2012, she served as shadow women and equalities secretary. She said yesterday she will vote for the deal. “It is far from perfect but we are faced with a choice of that or a catastroph­ic no deal.”

Ronnie Campbell

MP for Blyth Valley since 1987, he said he would vote for the deal. The former miner was one of 36 MPS to nominate Jeremy Corbyn for leader in 2015. He was also one of the few Labour MPS to publicly support leaving the EU. John Mcdonnell, when asked about his views, said: “I’m going to have a chat with Ronnie.”

Melanie Onn

The MP for Leave-voting Grimsby said last night she was prepared to vote for the deal. Co-author of an article with Tory MP Victoria Prentis, she urged colleagues to “use this unique chance to help us move on and get back to helping our constituen­ts”. She quit the shadow front bench in protest at Labour’s support for a second referendum.

Ruth Smeeth

The Stoke-on-trent North MP was one of the 19 Labour MPS to tell the EU not to further delay Brexit. She has been an outspoken critic of Mr Corbyn over anti-semitism and resigned from Labour’s front bench over support for a second referendum.

Graham Stringer

The MP for Blackley and Broughton since 1997 is expected to vote for the deal, despite not backing Mrs May’s deal, saying “It’s a bad deal but if I thought we wouldn’t get Brexit at all I’d consider voting for.”

Gareth Snell

The Stoke-on-trent Central MP is expected to back the deal, even though he has not publicly said so. He has said he “made a mistake” in not supporting Mrs May’s WA. Last month he also said: “The public has no appetite for a second referendum”.
