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.
Now this something that will cause the EU team pause124 majority on the first reading of the WA bill.
358 (for) to 234 (against)
Of all the predictions on bluemoon, I claim credit for this one - except that it would be Dim Tim's Wetherspoons that ran out of pigs-in-blankets.I know brexit is going to be a great success and we'll all look back in a couple of years and wonder what all the fuss was about so the story linked below is probably irrelevant and in no way a sign of things to come and absolutley not ironic that customers of a certain pub chain with a leave advocating owner are up in arms because of a shortage of christmas delicacies which is because of a shortage of seasonal eu workers who we don't really rely on and anyway brexit hasn't happened yet so it can't be anything to do with that and anyway there's plenty of british people eager to wrap pigs in blankets if only they were given the opportunity. Nothing funny at all about the whinging tweets to whetherspoons about crying children and no lack of insight blah blah. Carry on everyone, this is small fry in the grand scheme of things, it will all be alright

I think they missed this week's news that lack of EU workers in meat production means a likely shortage of pigs in blankets for Christmas. That crisis though would not be obvious till after a December election...
Nope - that is simply untrue10,000 posts just to say we won you lost, btw bleating about sunlit uplands is a brexit speciality( lie ) been so many no wonder it got lost in the torrent..
I and others commented months ago that if we end up with a no deal outcome - Corbyn will need to carry a lot of the blameWell the block Brexit strategy worked.
Well done Jeremy.
They were elected on that very principle. To suddenly decide they were "against it", when the Conservative PArty ran on an "get brexit done" policy, would to be deceiving the voters who elected them (see 2017).All Conservative PPC had to sign an agreement that they would support the WA put forward.
Democracy at its finest.
For the record, it's not what most people want.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 ;) !

They were being held to their oath when they became MP's of this Conservative Government. That IS democracy, and it is also treating the electorate with respect.
Let's be honest, he DIDN'T campaign to Remain, did he? He couldn't even be on the same platform as Cameron and Clegg.I and others commented months ago that if we end up with a no deal outcome - Corbyn will need to carry a lot of the blame
For those of us in Party mood, here's a few classics...
Different Parliament.Fuck me, are you completely incapable of thinking.
The WA as has been presented to Parliament did not exist pre election.
This is not democracy.
Quite right tooAll Conservative PPC had to sign an agreement that they would support the WA put forward.
Democracy at its finest.
Come again?Fuck me, are you completely incapable of thinking.
The WA as has been presented to Parliament did not exist pre election.
This is not democracy.
And not the idiot that's legislating to leave without a deal if we can't do a deal in a year? No Corbyn, no Brexit, but No Deal is a pure Tory thing.I and others commented months ago that if we end up with a no deal outcome - Corbyn will need to carry a lot of the blame
Come again?
I only ask because I've lost count of the number of times Boris said: Let's get Brexit done" and "We have an oven ready deal".
And not the idiot that's legislating to leave without a deal if we can't do a deal in a year? No Corbyn, no Brexit, but No Deal is a pure Tory thing.
It's not the same Parliament. It's not the same WA.The WA has been significantly changed from the version that was put before Parliament pre election.
Not for the better.
But the fools will carry on cheering
