Howard-
She's also pro fox hunting and once hacked into Harriet Harman's website (a criminal offence), then admitted to it in an interview:
https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/kemi-badenoch-admits-she-hacked-a-labour-mps-website-to-say-nice-things-about-the-tories/She wrote to Harman who accepted her apology but she was subsequently reported to Action Fraud.
I don't think Parliament has ever seen a bunch of MPs with as high stupidity levels as the most recent Tory intake.

"that one vote is not going to make a difference"
Um.
Did she just say that on TV?
Not quite.
"If what we're hearing is true and there are hundreds and hundreds of people voting against it then that one vote is not really going to make a difference."
I think her point was that the Government being defeated 421 v 198 is not going to make much of a difference than if it was 420 v 198. Not that her specific vote is not worth anything.
As others have pointed out, the voting in the four amendments being voted on before the main Brexit vote are a slightly trickier beast to try and handle via pairing (assuming you're back to trusting the Tories to do that properly).
Parliament needs to sort out Proxy voting (and the limits of who can use it) as soon as possible.

Going back to the Tulip Siddiq thing, Kemi Badenoch is either a despicable human being or she really doesn't get it. I don't think either are OK.
