Now that Dave has lost the vote on Syria

Cameron loses Syria war vote; 272 v 285.

Perhaps it is time to review these markets, this is not good for Dave, his authority has diminished somewhat. I suspect there is no chance of UK participation in any military intervention in Syria now.

and Dave to leave as PM in 2016 with Ladbrokes at 16/1

UPDATE – Some more reactions

Result today a huge embarrassment to Cameron. Up until this vote, he’d had a very good summer. Politics is now turned upside down

1) With some 30 Labour MPs absent, it was Tory ones that sunk Cameron this evening. Wounding blow to his authority.

For several reasons tonight"s Commons' vote most significant for many years Much will follow from it.

Miliband’s speech today wasn’t great. But he’s the big winner of today. It won’t be half as easy for Cameron to mock him as ‘weak’ now
