London MPs oppose use of British forces in Libya

Three London Labour MPs are among the handful who oppose British military involvement in Libya.

Hayes and Harlington's John McDonnell, Islington North's Jeremy Corbyn and Brent North's Barry Gardiner voted against Britain enforcing the UN security council's resolution.

During a Commons debate, Mr McDonnell warned of a "long-haul engagement" that would "threaten the peace and stability of the region and have consequences for our own people and the global economy".

Mr Corbyn raised fears that the action had not been thought through. Mr Gardiner argued Britain had no responsibility to enforce the resolution.
