How Welsh MPs voted on Syria

Twenty of Wales' 25 Labour MPs joined the three Plaid Cymru MPs and sole Liberal Democrat  in rejecting the plan.

I would say Glyn that the Celts were more civilised that those dashed Romans the English are so fond of. Our one and only Labour MP also voted against, but to his shame, well maybe not considering he is in court on charges of lying to his constituents, our one and only Lib Dem voted with the Tories. Jeremy Corbyn now should do the decent thing and throw those who did not support him out of his cabinet, free vote or not. He was wrong to give them that, but hey ho, Labour are committing suicide.

Who thought we would see the day when the MP for the Rhondda would vote with the Tories to kill people?
