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.
Interim Labour leader Harriet Harman suffered an embarrassing snub in the Commons when nearly 50 MPs defied her orders to abstain over the Government's Welfare Bill.
Some 47 Labour MPs marched into the No lobby against Ms Harman's demand to abstain on the main second reading vote, which the Conservatives won 308 to 124, majority 184. Including a rebel teller, the Labour revolt stood at 48 of the party's 232 MPs.
Three of Labour's leadership candidates, Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall, stayed away but Jeremy Corbyn chose to join the revolt.
London mayor candidates Diane Abbott, Sadiq Khan and David Lammy were also among the rebels. The remaining No votes were made up of SNP and other minor parties.
Ms Harman's reasoned amendment outlining concerns about the Welfare Reform and Work Bill was defeated 308 to 208, majority 100.
The interim Labour leader has insisted her party should not oppose the plans - which cut tax credits, reduce the welfare cap and introduce a "national living wage" - outright because it will not be heard on the issues it has a particular problem with.
But rebel ringleader Ms Goodman warned the Bill was "obnoxious" and "regressive", highlighting a future limit on tax credits to two children per household as a key failing.
