In Brexit betrayal week there were a number of votes in the Commons, each one returning a result that mocked the Leave mandate and opened our nation up to even more ridicule. Labour MPs, along with a handful of Tory collaborators, have turned Great Britain into the laughing stock of the world. Never forget that, especially come the next election.
The first key vote was largely overlooked by what followed, but it was eminently more crucial than the pathetic 'indicative votes'. It was the vote to cancel Brexit Day - the 29th of March - and extend Article 50 to April 12th (if May's deal rejected) or May 22nd if her deal passed. Disgracefully, the motion was passed by a huge majority of 334. Only 105 opposed it - 93 Tories, all 10 DUP and 2 Labour.
OK, so let's see which Labour MPs supported Brexit this week. Please note, it's a lot quicker than doing it the other way around!
