Another new Brexit thread

[mexico1970]

Is that every Tory vs every non-Tory?

Brilliant news. We are finally moving forward and leaving the eu. It’s taken 3 years for lots of mps to realise its what most people want.

Happy brexit everybody ;) !

The Tories have 365 seats though?

Am I being thick and some can’t vote?

About 30 labour mps in leave areas abstained and quite a few voted for it

Does beg the question whether some of Johnson's new disciples are not as loyal as he thought perhaps? Cannot figure out why the "Ayes" are not 370+?

That means about 40 Tories didn’t vote for it.

 

[Ban-jani]

Thanks mate.

Well that’s poor.

Well that’s poor.

I suspect there was quite a bit of pairing. No Conservative either abstained or voted against.

I see.

Hmm that’s not what I saw. I think seven tories didn’t vote- they had certain reasons, they weren’t against the deal. Six labour mps voted for the deal and 30 abstained

I’m just going off twitter though

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Must admit I'm stunned that there are conservatives who didn't back it

Yeah it’s been explained to me mate, no mither.

See above...no Conservative abstained or voted against.

There's something odd about it that's for sure, what with 6 labour MP's voting for it and loads that didn't vote. Maybe the Tories knew that they had the numbers so they didn't force them to vote, who knows ?

If any Conservative abstained that would show and none did. There was pairing meaning if an MP from any party couldn't vote then if they found a pair then that MP couldn't vote either.

Again for the record, no Conservative either abstained or voted against the WA.

All the Tories who didnt vote were either Assistant speakers or paired with Labour MPs who were too Ill to come in to school today.

Fair

For those of us in Party mood, here's a few classics...

That is a fair comment. I expect it will resonate in Scotland too.

It can resonate to a large degree with the SNP - won't come to anything though and by 2022 it will just be a receding noise
