Land of Hope & Glory? - UK Politics and other stuff

Here is the list of MPs who voted against the motion. There were 286 Tories voting this way, and all 10 DUP MPs voted against. The other votes came from two Labour MPs, Kate Hoey and John Mann, and three independents (Ian Austin and Ivan Lewis, who are both ex-Labour, and Charlie Elphicke, who is ex-Tory).

Here is the list of MPs who did not vote in the division. As is normal, the Speaker, his three deputies and the seven Sinn Fein MPs (who have not taken their seats) did not vote. The other MPs who did not vote were Sir Kevin Barron and Derek Twigg (both Labour) and four independents (Kelvin Hopkins, John Woodcock, Jared O’Mara and Chris Williamson).

It is impossible to tell from the division lists whether an MP did not vote because they wanted to abstain, or whether there was another reason, like illness, for their non-appearance.

Full text of Boris Johnson’s statement
Here is the full text of Boris Johnson’s statement after the result was announced.

Let there be no doubt about the consequences of this vote tonight.

It means that parliament is on the brink of wrecking any deal we might be able to strike in Brussels.

Because tomorrow’s bill would hand control of the negotiations to the EU.

And that would mean more dither, more delay, more confusion.

And it would mean that the EU themselves would be able decide how long to keep this country in the EU.

And since I refuse to go along with that plan we are going to have to make a choice. I don’t want an election. The public don’t want an election. But if the House votes for this bill tomorrow, the public will have to choose who goes to Brussels on October 17 to sort this out and take this country forward.

Everyone will know if the Rt Hon Gentleman is the prime minister, he will go to Brussels, he will beg for an extension, you will accept whatever Brussels demands and we’ll have years more arguments over Brexit.

And by contrast, everyone will know that if I am prime minister, I will go to Brussels, I will go for a deal and get a deal but if they won’t do a deal we will leave anyway on 31 October.

The people of this country will have to choose.

The leader of the Opposition has been begging for an election for two years.

I don’t want an election but if MPs vote tomorrow to stop the negotiations and to compel another pointless delay of Brexit, potentially for years, then that will be the only way to resolve this.

I can confirm that tonight we will are tabling a motion under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act.

BBL…:sweat_smile:
