The Con whips have made it a CONFIDENCE vote .

So Con MPs likely dare not vote for Labours motion.
No matter how strongly they may be against it.

[bots]

locally, fracking can't go ahead in a region unless the people in that region don't object, so fracking is basically dead as an idea

[UserSince2005]

Labour think fracking is slang for sex

[bots]

labour are doing it so they can say this or that mp voted for fracking

In Parliament Lobby

[bots]

Labour MP Jess Phillips has just said in a tweet that there's a "massive row" between Tory MPs in the voting lobby at Westminster.

It comes after the government threatened to withdraw the whip from Tory MPs who didn't vote the way they wanted, before now appearing to row back on that.

Having the whip withdrawn means an MP is kicked out of the party within Parliament. They remain an MP but immediately become an independent - not aligned to, say, Labour or the Conservatives.


wtf :joker:

[bots]

The government has defeated Labour’s plans to try and host a vote on the government’s fracking plans.

However, the numbers look like several Tory MPs could well have not supported the government.

Earlier, it was confirmed that this vote was being seen as a de facto vote of confidence in the prime minister and government.

As a result, Tory MPs were effectively told they would be suspended from the parliamentary party - and have to become an independent MP - if they voted against the government.

However, there seems to be now a bit of confusion about whether or not that was the case.

Opposition MPs have asked the government to clarify whether or not it was, and therefore whether Tory MPs were free or not to vote how they wanted to.

She's a really horrible creature.
It's either an awful sick joke or gross insult that she's Health Secretary AND Deputy Prime Minister.
Heartless hardliner who shouldn't really be an MP never mind be a Minister.

Awful individual.

[bots]

Forty Tory MPs abstained in Labour's fracking motion earlier, meaning they did not vote yes or no on it.

Among the MPs who abstained are Chief Whip Wendy Morton. Tory MPs have told the BBC she is no longer in post - though her position is still unclear.

PM Liz Truss is also listed as having not voted. We don't know why she wasn't present.

Other notable MPs who didn't vote are former PM Theresa May, former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng and former Home Secretary Priti Patel.

We don't know how many abstained on principle as Parliament doesn't record the reason for not voting - they may have been unable to be in Westminster.

But given that earlier in the day the vote was being described as a confidence motion, the fact that such senior MPs did not vote will raise eyebrows.

Downing St has confirmed
the Chief Whip Wendy Morton is back in her job.
