Actually - good point

My thoughts exactly.

How the hell are we In a situation where our country will make a law to declare a country safe that we accept asylum seekers from.

Next weeks debate is going to be "we are renaming black as white in law"

Mine didn't record a vote.

It's Braverman.

Make of that what you will

Abstained.

So the shenanigans from the last month was just for rabble rousing.

Mine's Jungle Matt and he voted Aye.

Thanks - so depressing I’ve got Labour MP so voted against

Blimey just posted on the old thread and then realised there's a new one - and it's 5 pages long already!

I was a bit surprised nobody had commented on the vote 😆

Interesting. Part of her manoeuvres for a potential leadership bid?

And mine.

Mines bleeding standing down at the next election Stephen Hammond who is a one nation Tory type who even as a remainer capitulated to Johnson's 2019 requirements to stand as candidate again despite this

Yeah, you guessed it, he voted aye.

Mine voted yes as well (no surprises there). It will be interesting to read her really to my letter (assuming she bothers).

Mine’s standing down too. He’s John Major’s unworthy successor. In the 26 years he’s held the seat he’s done the square root of fuck all.

Rishi Sunak drops his Christmas single just in time for tonight's Rwanda vote.

Stay (Till Polling Day) - East 17 feat. Rishi Sunak and David Cameron.

Mine voted Aye. So did my previous area (35m away) MP. So did Gillian Keegan I see. So bloody depressing.

Mine voted aye as well. As expected. He’s a spineless twat who will pretty much toe the party line especially if he feels the party would be damaged by not doing so.

I expect to see lots of tweets about the lines to take the Tories have been given.

Had a look on MPs Facebook page and 1 person has said "they should just get on a train or ferry to come here and not come in these small boats".
This is why we end up with the government we have.

Does anyone know if anyone who is not Tory voted aye?

5 independents but they are mostly ex Tories e.g. Hancock, Peter bone etc.

That sky link says 5 independents voted aye, but I only found 4 names looking through on the list:
Scott Benton
Peter Bone
Rob Roberts
Bob Stewart

Of course, I missed out Matt Hanckock, he's very forgettable.

Was it a full moon yesterday?

Slight correction, they are all ex-Tory MPs.

The abstainers include those angling for leadership/influence - Braverman, Cates, Hayes, Clarke, Jenrick, Kruger, Cash and Berry.

Rosindell abstained although I assume he was paired(?) given he is not allowed on parliamentary estate.

They clearly have huge influence and leadership skills given how many were inspired by their example.
