Yeah, there is that. The reason they abstained was because they knew they were going to lose though, so don't think it makes much difference.
When walking this tight rope, May's strategy has been to make it to tomorrow. At the time, waving a vote through was seen as less bad than outright losing it and so they chose the less bad option.
I don't really care if the advice is published, but as I'm holding out for a people's vote, anything that pushes that closer is all good for me. This is certainly not helping May's cause.

Then maybe the conservatives should have voted against the motion rather than waving it through.
