From a quick look she voted against the hunting ban, against EU workers already here being allowed to stay and against an elected House of Lords. Can't see that being a popular stance in Vauxhall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(incompetent & rabidly right wing) by voting for a Bill that everyone knows is just fantasy politics. Surely a tactical vote on the issue to force a Vote of Confidence and possibly a GE? Hoey more or less said a couple of days ago that bringing down the Tories wasn’t the priority. I’m not sure what should be a bigger priority. Anyone know the names of the Labour abstainers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah tend to think that's incompetence like Cable & Farron last night, perhaps a sharper opposition could have 1-1 of the close votes. Apologies to the two SNP MPs who were at funerals.

Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 The whole pairing thing is a nonsense. Either turn up and vote or don't. Or better still, use a voting system that isn't from the 19th C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
