"I’ve never seen scenes like it at the entrance to a voting lobby. Tories on open warfare. Jostling and Rees Mogg shouting at his colleagues. Whips screaming at Tories.
They are done and should call a general election.
Two Tory whips dragging people in. Shocking."

BREAKING: The House of Commons votes by 326 to 230 against banning fracking, despite the Government's own manifesto pledge not to allow shale gas extraction in the UK.

I'm struggling with the maths? Do we know how many Tory MPs rebelled?

I hope someone is on the ball enough to leak photos/video or do they take their phones off them?

Do none of these people ever look at themselves and see the little dictators they’ve become? At some point you have to accept that people just don’t agree with you on occasion.

the80sweregreat · 19/10/2022 19:31

Sorry to be so thick, but does this mean that fracking can be done now ?
Will areas have to oppose it ?
They pledged not to do this , but changes their minds?

Notonthestairs · 19/10/2022 19:32

Craig Whittaker has just come out of the lobby and said" I am fucking furious and I don’t give a fuck anymore”.'

Just seen Tory whips manhandling a crying Tory MP into their lobby for fracking. You couldn’t make this toxic stuff up, nasty to see the Tories at work, if this is how they treat their MPs spare a thought for the country.

Funny sort of Victory.

We've found the next PM! Kerry from Sunderland wipes the floor with tory MP Paul Scully live on BBC News.

God, if this is true this is the sort of thing I expect to hear from countries like Syria and Russia. It’s unbelievable what they’re doing.

This is just sinister.

It means that there won't be a debate in Parliament to ban fracking.

It leaves to the Government to implement their new fracking policy.

the80sweregreat · 19/10/2022 19:36

I bet that the crying MP may have been Harlow MP Robert Halfon ? I've no idea, but he seems the sort to be so upset about the whole thing and is opening critical of the new P M and policies.

Saucery · 19/10/2022 19:36

Sir Charles Walker on Ch4 News also talking about younger MPs in tears. Dear God.

He sits on the 1922 committee though, that would seem like a daft move.

the80sweregreat · 19/10/2022 19:37

Thank you for that explanation
So, they have overturned part of their 2019 manifesto then!

Notonthestairs · 19/10/2022 19:38

Yes this is pretty dark stuff.

Has this happened before?

Piggywaspushed · 19/10/2022 19:38

On Sky, they have just got a list of those who didn't vote. Kwasi Kwarteng is one and another seems to be..... Liz Truss.

Assuming it's an error.

I find myself in the really odd position of feeling very protective of MP’s. I’m not sure what to do with this.

the80sweregreat · 19/10/2022 19:38

Fracking is so controversial isn't it?
I remember the ones opposing it all a few years ago.

L1ttledrummergirl · 19/10/2022 19:39

Wtf. Surely this is a coup by the tory party saying our democracy is dead.

Who the hell do Truss and her cabinet think they are?

Cornettoninja · 19/10/2022 19:39

The 1922 just need to completely dissolve the tories. Look at what they’ve become.

Bloody hell, is this really happening?

Notonthestairs · 19/10/2022 19:41

I make it 31 Tory MPs who didn’t vote actively for fracking - including Theresa May, Kwasi Kwarteng, Priti Patel and ex chief whip Wendy Morton

AND LIZ TRUSS

Excuse shouting.

Notonthestairs · 19/10/2022 19:44

Here is @RhonddaBryant explaining what he saw. A group of MPs, including cabinet ministers Therese Coffey and Jacob Rees-Mogg being very aggressive to a junior MP, a fracas which culminated in his being physically shoved into the lobby. ~AA

Worth watching the video.

L1ttledrummergirl · 19/10/2022 19:44

So if it was a 3 line whip (it's still not known at the moment if thiscwas changed), does that mean she's just kicked herself out of the party?
