Because the 'no' tellers were absent from corridor when vote at about 8pm was taken? So that an amendment to allow May's deal to go through, went through? Ie the Stephen Kinnock amendment to allow the Withdrawal Amendment Bill went through, whereas it was rejected under May! Unlikely, but 3 MPs said they thought it offered some hope. Anyway, Corbyn's move for a GE defeated as the required majority not achieved (259 (?) or thereabouts to 56, with Labour abstaining). | |
