ITV News' Political Editor Robert Peston has said Labour's internal divisions appear to have resurfaced during the Commons debate over the government's Brexit Bill.
The proposals were passed in parliament this evening by an overwhelming majority, but many Labour MPs were not happy about giving the Prime Minister permission to start the process of leaving the EU.
Leader Jeremy Corbyn told his MPs to support the legislation and "respect" the result of the EU referendum, but
52 of them ignored his order including shadow business secretary, Clive Lewis, who resigned before the vote.
Lewis is seen by some Labour MPs as a possible successor to Corbyn.
