Fracking Vote

[SueEllen]

Labour have brought a vote on fracking tonight.

The Tories are whipping heavily.

4 Tory MPs who are saying they will vote against it will lose the whip if they don't vote with the government.

4 have publically stated they will not.

Labour have threatened individual Tory MPs with mocked-up posters "Your MP <X> voted for Fracking in <Y>" if they obey the whip.
This could be spicy.

No, it could be pathetic. As usual.

The House is getting more and more like the fourth form at St Trinians.

All the tweets about man handling crying Tory MPs are "interesting".

Even more is the chief and deputy chief whips resigning.

And Kwasi voted against the government.

And let’s not forget that Truss abstained…

Thanks now I have an image of JRM in a gym slip. Pass the mind bleach!

Kwasi, like many high-profile Tory MPs including the PM, didn't vote at all. There were no Tory rebel votes listed here although there were 2 rebel Labour DUP (thanks Cojak) votes who voted with the government: https://votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Commons/Division/1372

I think that you’ll find that those 2 ‘rebel Labour’ votes were, in fact, DUP votes. The colours were quite close though, claret as opposed to red.
