They wanted their MP's to think it was a 3 line whip, but knew damned fine they couldn't actually do that without having to pull it from potentially dozens of them and destroying their own majority, so they let them think it was when it wasn't. SNP did not vote, so even they realised it was all bullshit. Probably SNP didn’t vote as it doesn’t apply to Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was, like the govt were trying to kid on, they would have voted with Labour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jedi Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Presumably, their next move will be for the Cabinet to start handing their resignations in, to force Truss out, same as did with Johnson.......the aim this time to bring Johnson back in as PM, and then hold out for 2 years for a GE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fifer Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Honestly so fucking sick of seeing the Tory "big hitters" over the past decade. JRM, Johnson, Truss, Coffey, Javid, Hunt, whoever, get them all in the fucking bin. Oh, and that livid Tory backbencher aswell, despite how entertaining this was: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye which is why they deliberately obfuscated whether or not is was a 3 line whip. They wanted their own MP's to think it was, and banked on them not collectively going 'hud oan a minute...' and realising what you've alluded to above before dutifully trotting through the 'No' lobby. It's clear that even when division was called many of them still weren't clear on whether it was a 3 line whip or not. One of their own MP's said he totally objected to fracking and wanted to vote for the amendment, but was going to walk through the No lobby purely because of the Whip, so he was deliberately misled.
