Hilary Benn made a very good - the best(?) - speech, and when he sat down he was applauded by 70+% of the MP's on all sides. the delightful Diane Abbot turned around from the Labour front bench to scowl at Labour M's clapping the Labour shadow Foreign Secretary...

more fisticuffs to follow i feel.
