HofC voted by 315 to 274 to back an amendment to NI legislation forcing the Gov to hold debates in parl in the run-up to the Brexit date of 31 October.
Crucially this is an amendable motion so could include ruling out no deal.
But that needs CONSEQUENCES. Eg #RevokeA50

1/. Who were the 274 eejit MPs that did not back this?
2/. More critically was our Cheltenham MP @AlexChalkChelt vote?
He has said he would NOT back proporging Parl
I can’t see his name on the list of Tory rebels re a motion designed to prevent it.

3/. It looks as if his name was not even on the list of Conservative MPs who did not vote (including for reasons of illness/ pairings).
Well well. So Alex Chalk continues to push our poor country and his constituents to the brink and against their will.

Even Margaret James, a Government Minister voted YES to support the motion.
Other Government ministers have resigned on principle to enable them to vote against.
Not Alex Chalk.

However the next PM will have a working majority of 3. 2 if it loses Brecon 🙏🙏🙏
So if these rebels continue rebelling and the abstained keep abstaining then he is going to be in a pretty untenable position v soon.
But a VONC motion really should be laid by next Thurs

The Brexit Specialist Clerk to the HoC here.
Some people have said they are struggling to put faces to names.
I’ve already posted the Tory abstainers pics including 6 Govt ministers.
These are those who fully rebelled and supported the motion, including 1 Govt minister, Margot James.

For those who want to see if their MP walked the vote of shame and voted no to measures to to prevent the Proroguing of Parliament and to encourage the reinstatement of a Stormont Gov.
All but 12 were Tory MPs
Plus
10 DUP MPs (FGS)
Kate Hoey
- and staggeringly-
Ian Austin.
