Don't try any nonsense about a mistake - this is calculated, deliberate breaking of trust by govt whips @JulianSmithUK to win at all costs. Brandon abstained in afternoon divisions, but voted in the two crunch votes after 6pm. There's a word for it - cheating.pic.twitter.com/JwRkvglKKX

54,000 women lose their jobs each year in the UK due to pregnancy & maternity discrimination. Despite claims to want to fight "burning injustices", govt response to this problem has been shockingly poor, so perhaps it should be no surprise they treat MPs on mat leave like this.

Enough of this. Instead of closing Parliament early, let the Commons decide on proxy voting next week - with binding motions - and put an end to this charade.

I’m sorry Jo. I think it was an honest mistake made by the whips in fast-moving circumstances. I know how important the pair is to everyone, especially new parents, and I apologise. Also apologies for late reply, been speaking at an event.
-
Really? So what happened then? Take me through it.

Jo This must be so angering & disempowering You should be able to relax at home bonding with your new baby instead of putting up with this stress It’s essential for ppl on parental leave to be able to vote by proxy This is unacceptable in the modern era
-
I agree, and I know just how Jo must be feeling, because I have felt disempowered and disenfranchised since being dismissed as a remain voter. It seems as tho there is nobody in our parliamentary system with a strong enuf voice for me & those like me
-
Totally agree!!

This is a ridiculous system - you should be guaranteed a proxy vote by the rules of the house - or be able to vote from home / have a deputy. This is not proper maternity leave - 3 MPs I know of in this situ yesterday, would have changed 1 vote at least! Women's rights issue!
-
I cannot imagine how angry you & your colleagues are Jo . We are so angry for you . To use a woman’s pregnancy against her. Despicable. My God is there no depravity that this Govt will not stoop to or no principle they will not sacrifice at the alter of Brexit?

Cheating seems to come naturally to Brexit supporters.

Seems cheating also comes naturally to Remain supporters. This one has been charged with fraud for allegedly obtaining council accommodation whilst owning property, thus denying a poor family a place to live. Shameful.pic.twitter.com/QazZJNOh7g

Trevor attempts to conflate voting as an MP in HoC with something entirely unrelated. Don’t be a silly billy like Trevor.

Just another piece of evidence that the system is outdated. There should be another method to do this. If you are unable to to get to the vote for medical reasons your vote should be accepted prior. No need for pairs.
-
Exactly. Especially as if we are to have equal representation for the sexes this is always going to affect women of child-bearing age disproportionately.
-
It can not be difficult to create an app, secured by a fingerprint or some such, which is given to the 650 MPs to allow them to vote, either in the chamber or out. Upload the votes for all to see. No need for tellers and the antiquated rigmarole.

Problem is they love all the “pish”. It must make them feel important or something to be part of antiquary!!!
-
The waste of time. Every single division is a loss of 20 minutes debate.

It's the only exercise some of them get...

Not true Chris. Lots of exercise in jumping to conclusions and running off at the mouth.

This is a highly underrated tweet Kelvin
