48 Labour rebels have defied the party leadership to vote against the Government's welfare reforms.
Leadership contender Jeremy Corbyn was among the MPs to ignore interim leader Harriet Harman's call for them to abstain in the Commons second reading vote on the Welfare Reform and Work Bill.
Jeremy Corbyn will be the sole Labour leadership candidate to vote against the government's welfare bill, after Yvette Cooper, Andy Burnham and Liz Kendall stated that they would abstain.
Labour's acting leader Harriet Harman has announced that the party's policy will be to vote in favour of its own amendment to the government's measures, before abstaining on the main vote should the amendment fail.
The Labour amendment opposes some but not all aspects of the Conservatives' proposed £12 billion welfare cuts.
Other Labour MPs are expected to abstain in the vote on the main bill, the details of which were outlined in George Osborne's summer Budget.
