(dunno , i could be very wrong here ?) 17 Tory rebels on that vote , but that doesn't count Cabinet ministers (at that time) ..i.e Hammond , who voted with the government and will now change 5 labour / independents voted with the govt 18 abstained I can't see how the Govt can win tbh ..other than self-preservation kicking in for some Tory MP's Ian Austin, Dudley North Sir Kevin Barron, Rother Valley Ronnie Campbell, Blyth Valley Rosie Cooper, West Lancashire Jim Fitzpatrick, Poplar and Limehouse Caroline Flint, Don Valley Roger Godsiff, Birmingham Hall Green Stephen Hepburn, Jarrow Kate Hoey, Vauxhall John Mann, Bassetlaw Dennis Skinner, Bolsover Laura Smith, Crewe and Nantwich Gareth Snell, Stoke-on-Trent Central Graham Stringer, Blackley and Broughton That's who voted with the Government to defeat the Cooper-Boles amendment, so probably the Labour votes in play tonight. I remember reading somewhere that basically 10 Tory rebels = 55% chance it succeeds, 15 = 80% chance, 20+ = nailed on.

peterms Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Johnson's performance seems unlikely to win over any waverers. Sometimes bluster, sometimes halting and stammering, sometimes a bit pantomime, quoting lines from the Mekon's briefing note, and not in keeping with the gravity of the situation. And his argument, if you can call it that, is that it would have been possible to negotiate a better deal but for the position being taken by parliament. Kind of "and I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was interesting to look at Alex Chalk's reaction when Johnson was blathering on and a lot of the Tories were merely nodding along. He looked neither happy nor convinced. I just wonder whether there might be a few unforeseen rebels? It's unlikely, I know, but I wouldn't be totally surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
