Vote on lock down

The government won its motion to impose an English national lock down from tomorrow by 516 to 38 votes. Labour supported the government.

It was mainly Conservatives voting against with some DUP MPs.

Clearly there were numerous abstentions or absences on what was a most important vote.

I voted against, as the government did not amend the Regulations in ways suggested to reduce the damage to jobs and social life.

Most of the speakers were Conservative, with many asking for amendments to the rules, seeking better data and asking for an exit plan even where they were voting for the motion.
