Several Labour MPs, including Emma Lewell, voted against the government regarding a motion related to referring the Prime Minister to the Privileges Committee. The article details which MPs voted against, those who abstained or didn't record a vote, and possible reasons for not voting.
Among the Labour MPs who voted against the Government was Emma Lewell, the MP for South Shields, who earlier condemned the Government’s response to the debate on whether to refer the Prime Minister to the Privileges Committee .
Prior to the vote, she said: “I have watched this whole sorry saga play out for weeks now, like the public, I feel let down, disappointed and I am angry. ” Lewell was joined in the “aye” lobby by party colleagues including Kate Osborne , Cat Smith , Luke Myer , Grahame Morris , and Mary Kelly Foy .
Smith also voted against the motion, which could indicate a formal abstention. Karl Turner , who recently lost the Labour whip following repeated outspoken criticism of Starmer’s government, also voted in favour of the motion, while there was a total of 54 Labour MPs whose votes were not recorded. There are several possible reasons that could explain why an MP did not cast a vote for a particular motion in parliament.
The Speaker and deputies, for example, are unable to vote due to the impartiality of the chair. Members could also be absent carrying out constituency or ministerial business, or be unable to attend for other reasons. If any members are present but choose not to cast a vote, that is what is called an abstention.
However, the breakdown of each vote’s results on parliament’s website does not give the exact reason for why each MP may have failed to vote on a particular motion, such as this one.
