Stop Press: Toby says: “Good to see Layla Moran in the ‘no’ lobby. When I debated her at the Cambridge Union in January she was pro-lockdown. Let’s hope the superior arguments on our side of the debate helped to change her mind.”

Apart from the 76 MPs listed the rest don’t deserve that title. Any assembly that simply rubber stamps the decisions of the executive is not a parliament, it is a version of the old Soviet style Congress of People’s Deputies. When the opposition fail to oppose the government and don’t even try to hold them to account the democracy is well and truly dead.
Thank you for printing the list of those who voted against the extension. It came as no surprise to discover my brown nosed MP Jo Churchill voted for it. She might bear the name Churchill but she doesn’t deserve to.
Thanks to the 76 MPs who have shown integrity. But 484 MPs have voted to say that they implicitly trust a government that is scientifically, morally and financially bankrupt.
It appears Commons’ sense is even less common than common sense.
Daily Mail readers are on case
10k comments must be something of a record.
Equally hostile to our inept government and spineless opposition.
35 Tories and 41 others; lest we forget!
Whoever they are from Green to the most right wing tory, they all deserve our praise and their place in history.
Half of them are only doing it to bring down the government, not because they believe in it.
Agreed. They’ve spoken up for harsher lockdown, so this change of tack is pathetic political posturing.
An increase of 20/30 ‘rebels’ every time the Coronavirus Act comes back to the Commons – heck is going to take several years before it no longer exists. It comes back again mid Sept – uuummm surely not the start of the respiratory virus season? Around and around we will go.
Some interesting names in that list but well done to all of them for voting against the continuation of this tyranny
All but 2 MPs from Northern Ireland voted against. The two were SDLP and I think they’ve always abstained. Sinn Fein don’t sit.
So, that’s quite a large block for a tiny region like NI. However, there seems zero opposition to it here. We are already seeing reports of scary cases rising again as we near the lockdown restrictions easing.
They will be extended here I have no doubt. Politicians are such irrelevant beasts at the moment
So yet again. No research just print a headline. The majority of the labour mp’s were not voting against the act. They were saying it did NOT GO FAR ENOUGH. They want a total lockdown and push for the impossible zero covid.
Exactly, I don’t want to throw cold water on this, but apart from the regular tory ‘rebels’ these people have not been won over by the argument in any way – they want stricter measures, and the believe this is what the ‘people’ want. This is the lid dem policy on lockdowns – too late and too lax: https://www.libdems.org.uk/s21-covid-motion.
I don’t think ”they believe this is what the people want”. They don’t give a stuff about ”what the people want”. Their attitude is ”we know what’s good for them… and us”. Arrogant and self-serving – as ever.
Yes I suppose I meant they think they can get away with it because nobody is challenging them rather than that they are motivated by some kind of noble desire to enact the will of the people.
They will not be forgotten. Neither will those who voted for the extension including my Sutton Surrey Conservative MP (drum roll) Mr. Paul Scully
There is no justification for extending these laws. Have they even given any.
I’ve just read that the reason for extending this ”emergency” tosh is because the vaks is only ”approved” for emergency use. No emergency – no vaks.
So when they declare the pandemic over, no emergency, which is when pharma can start charging for profit for the vaks, which is what they are pushing for.
No, at that point the injection may no longer be used at all – it is only approved for emergency use.
Pharma are getting restless, having an agreement to sell the vaccine at cost, is dragging it out, they have to declare the pandemic over before they can sell for a profit, the longest that can go on is July.
“Toby says: “Good to see Layla Moran in the ‘no’ lobby”
I’m amazed! She was one pushing for that stupid Zero Covid. Perhaps she’s decided to educate herself.
It seems to me that the previously ‘lock em up, and lock em up hard’ LibDems have made the decision to oppose the covid regulations a political matter. They’re gambling that people will forget their opposition, and imagine them to be supporters of liberal democracy. Fat chance.
Exactly, and those views are not in the past – they still believe lockdowns work and the problem was not doing it early or hard enough. That means as soon as trouble looms they will be calling for a ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown. They still believe in highly intrusive track and trace and border restrictions. Do not be fooled!
