Vince Cable, Tim Farron and one other LibDem didn’t vote. Which doesn’t excuse the spineless support for this disaster of a government by those three Labour MPs, but it would’ve made the vote more interesting.
It is a fucking disaster though, many knowledgeable commentators think the chances of us crashing out with no deal significantly increased last night.

It's frustrating that three Labour MPs and one former Labour MP voted in favour of the ERG's stuff. Not that May's proposals are very good, but they are certainly preferable to the, as Dominic Grieve put it, 'malevolent' amendments.
