Yet another moment of high drama in the Commons. Wendy Morton has now left the post of chief whip after the government folded on the opposition day fracking vote being treated as a ‘confidence issue’. MPs were warned they would lose the Tory whip if they didn’t vote with the government. One MP who witnessed Morton walking past with the Prime Minister’s PPS, tells me: ‘She’s as mad as thunder and is saying ‘unbelievable’.’ Craig Whittaker has just come out of the lobby and said ‘I am fricking furious and I don’t give a frick anymore.’
Chris Bryant has just alleged that he witnessed ‘bullying’ of MPs in the voting lobbies. With minutes to go before the vote, the minister winding up the debate told the chamber that ‘quite clearly this is not a confidence vote’. Graham Stuart was immediately accosted by one of his own colleagues, Ruth Edwards, who insisted that she and others had been told they would lose the whip if they abstained or voted against the government. Stuart replied, cryptically, that this was a matter for party managers.

I'm not 100% fluent in bonglish. If I'm understanding right, Trussy ordered her whip to order all her MPs to vote for this but the whip thought this was totally inappropriate and refused to?

Longer article. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/oct/19/crunch-commons-vote-on-fracking-descends-into-farce Apparently this was vote to ban fracking. Pro fracking won but some bongs apparently still haven't learned their lesson regarding gas.

I dunno who's more r-slurred, the MPs who are against fracking or Trussy for getting all hysterical and making this into a life-or-death issue.
Perhaps he should refer his complaint to the BASED DEPARTMENT.![:marseygossip: :marseygossip:](/e/marseygossip.webp)
This is why direct election of the president is best. Otherwise you end up with women getting in passive aggressive catfights determining who runs the country.

Gosh, here you are, a "journ*list," and you are too stupid and lazy to do a god darn internet search that would take you less than a minute. And then you wonder why no one with a third digit in their I.Q. trusts a single fricking word from you and your kind? LOL. Seriously, I was a professional journ*list for 11 years, before dumb buttholes like you and your editors destroyed the basics. You are beyond pathetic, and the best thing you could do is quit and go do something you're qualified to do, like live in a cardboard box under a freeway overpass, selling meth and stolen bicycle parts. When you're not joining your antifa buddies in another "peaceful protest."
