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.

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.
