Did any of the Labour/LibDemites oppose it for good reasons rather than evil, this time?
In the past a lot of them who opposed the regime’s totalitarian “emergency” measures did so because they thought they weren’t evil enough.
Just noticed, no need to include “LibDem” in that – incredibly not a single LibDem MP bothered to oppose actual totalitarianism in their own country!
Perhaps they were too busy pontificating about supposed evils in some other country on the other side of the world.
The Lib Dems are neither liberal nor democratic.
No, they are the successors to the split in the labour party. They don’t really have a mission any more.
Despite them posing in Batley and Spen as being anti-lockdown I believe.
Yes, I thought I’d seen some rather implausible attempts to reposition themselves away from the dark side.
Well, if we had any doubts, now we know (again).

Long History of it on the Lib Deviants.
Off the top of my head, some or all of those Labour MPs have made sceptical noises in the past.
Maybe the zero covid zealots who dominate the Parliamentary Labour Party all abstained or voted in favour this time.
List of abstentions here – mainly Tories who can’t bring themselves to vote against but are clearly not happy e.g. Theresa May, all the SNP and Lib Dems, and smattering of others including a few Labour.
https://votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Commons/Division/1053#notrecorded
those are the worst kind… sterile
Barren is the field in which I grow my fucks for fence sitters.
Graham Stringer is the only Labour MP I’ve noticed making any sceptical noise.
I think Spellar is too: https://twitter.com/spellar/status/1404767641034764293
Snap, sorry posted before I saw your comment.
IIRC Stringer has made objections to the actual principle of lockdown, not just “give us more furlough”.
He’s one of the few MPs with a scientific background (chemist), also a climate sceptic
Easy for me to say, but I think the next step for the Tories at least could be to say (privately then publicly) they will not vote for any government legislation of any kind until the madness ends. That may force the PM’s hand – I think he may need to call an election. It could make things worse – we might get a parliament 100% full of pro-lockdown loonies.
Where is Dawn Butler ?
Voted Aye: https://votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Commons/Division/1053#ayes
Fiddling her expenses?
Totalitarianism is here to stay, regardless of who’s in power. Maybe we get lucky and the British public get fed up with the Big State like they did in 1979 or 1951 (at the second attempt) or maybe it goes the full hog and we end up how much of Eastern Europe was in the 1980’s or Venezuela is today. But I think we must be realistic that it will be several years, a decade or more.
I pray that the perpetrators are dealt with as the Ceaucescu’s were.
400 mps vote in favor and you call that totalitarian?
Appears you are in desperate need of a dictionary.
Yes it’s what they voted for.
I think Hitler was quite popular, too
“Get on the cattle train, subversive, this is a democracy, and we passed a law.”
My labour MP is amazingly on the list, maybe he is sick of my letters and sensed another draft letter that was being prepared. So I’ll be sending him an email as a pat on the head (you have to keep on at them or they quickly lose their way again).
No they don’t deserve our praise. They are the equivalent of a bunch of soldiers who have been running away from the front for the last 18 months and now turn to take a pot shot at the enemy before resuming their flight. Not good enough. Why are they wearing masks in the chamber? Not good enough. Why haven’t they been joining in the demos? Not good enough.
Why haven’t they been challenging the lies directly when interviewed on the MSM? Not good enough. In fact, all-in-all pathetic.
Damn! I am tired of n i g g e rs! Tired, tired, tired, tired, tired of n*ggas, man. Damn, You know what’s the worst thing about n*ggas? N*ggas always want some credit for some sh!t they’re supposed to do. For some sh!t that you’re supposed to do!

Chris Rock, Bring the Pain…
As expected, my MP, useless smug tub of lard, is absent from the list.
I have given up emailing him as he just parrots the party, sorry Globalist line.
The real reason the last 18 months has happened is the lack of any opposition from Labour. All of these measures have gone through on the strength of Labour backing regardless of the scale of Tory opposition.
We should all be campaigning to get Starmer, Globalist appointee, kicked out of his job and an actual democrat replacing him. Even Corbyn would have been better over the last year, I reckon. At least he seems to be either vaccine sceptic or believes that people’s vaccine decision is a personal matter.
“Even Corbyn would have been better over the last year, I reckon”
Corbyn signed up to the zero covid loony statement put out by the Socialist Campaign Group, along with almost all the Parliamentary Labour big beasts.
No hope (as usual) in the Labour Party. This is not a Blairite/Corbynite issue.

All the Marxists wanting a policy to shut down the economy and limit freedom.
What a massive surprise.
“Never let a good crisis go to waste”.
Disaster Marxism, even if they need to invent a fake emergency for their enabling act.
This site is turning into a refuge for irrelevant nutters. 77th Brigade rules without lifting a finger.
I’m surprised Diane Abbott can count as high as zero.
“Shami Chakrabarti is a human rights activist” LOL. Wiki shines again as opposite of truthful.
“The real reason the last 18 months has happened is the lack of any opposition from Labour. “
This is typical of that portion of the right that just can’t face the reality that – whatever the crimes of Labour, which I and others have roundly condemned – this is essentially an initiative of the Tories by the Tories and their right-wing government
The delusional diversions here from this group of hobby horse riders on the right, mired in playground politics, are pathetic.
Get real.
There is only one party now – the Globalist party. Johnson and Starmer are joint leaders of it in Parliament and bear joint responsibility for what has happened.
The extent of Starmer’s opposition to the horror show of the last year has been “we’d have done what they did, only harder and earlier”.
Starmer has not opposed the government because the government is implementing exactly the policies Labour wants – big State, big spending, big Health Service, authoritarian government.
Why should he bother opposing? He is getting the policies he wants at no personal cost to himself.
I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say it’s an initiative of the Tories. It is global hysteria/incompetence/madness/evil conspiracy/take your pick, bandwagon jumped on enthusiastically by Tories here and by many governments all over the world of various supposed/declared political stripes. In the UK, the PM and Cabinet take a large part of the blame, but it’s shared by many others.
But the government [Tories] seem to be trying to lead the world in this madness (I think one word totally sums it all up) – our country seems by far the most totalitarian of the lot of them – espec when it comes to vaxx.
If you’d talked to anyone in one of a number of countries in continental Europe you’d know that enforcement is stronger there – France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium. Australia, New Zealand, Israel. Our govt has been terrible but so have many others from the supposed left and the supposed right. They are all evil scum.
My own MP found time to tweet about the Football last night. While voting by proxy to continue the restrictions.
Last time I e-mailed her, I received a reply that had been copied and pasted direct from her Twitter feed.
Pointless individual.
More Tories voted against their own government than members of HM Official Opposition did.
That says it all.
… and raises the question of what they would have done if they weren’t safe.
mine voted the ‘right’ way for the first time (Greg Smith)
in all my emails with him he’s seemed skeptic but til yesterday always voted with the loonies
small beer I know but I’ll take what I can get.
Mine (Nick Smith) is the biggest arse-licking sycophant there is.
Will *always* vote for the party line, has no views, no opinion of his own.
If you ask him his opinion, he rings party HQ to ask what it should be first.
Also one of the safest seats in the country.
He is my MP as well, and I gave him a (small) pat on the head reminding him of previous votes which were all in favour of authoritarianism.
I also remarked about the accursed and evil so-called ‘vaccine passports’ which he says he is against, but I don’t believe him, and said so. He did respond (he often does, to give him credit) but remarked that ‘there are no plans to introduce vaccine passports domestically’.
Notice the last word; a nice get-out phrase. The man has obviously never heard of ‘mission creep’.
Are you going to the demo on Saturday June 26?

“It is essential to suppress the propagation of vaccine misinformation via social media. These solutions can be embedded in tools like fact-checkers installed in our web browsers that warn readers if the information to be presented is likely to be false.”
False = not what they want you to here and suppress = censor.
Copied from the Chinese Communist playbook. They have a little cartoon police officer comes on your screen every time you get too close to the truth. A friendly reminder of what awaits you.
‘The 60 MP’s who desrve our praise…’
I wouldn’t go that far! No MP has ever deserved MY praise!
Not one Scot amongst them 🤬
They are all in thrall to that Professor of Anthropology Devi Sridhar
Many of these (if not all) voted in favour of these oppressive covid restrictions back in March 2020 when this insanity first began even though there were many many dissenting expert voices outside government and their sage advisors who were warning about the terrible effects of lockdowns and warnings about the tragic mistake this government was making – why should these MP’s recieve our praise now because they voted against something recently that they should have voted against back in 2020 and now after all the irrepairable damage that their past voting decisions have done?
Praising these politicians is like praising an architect for building a high rise block of flats after his previous attempts at building blocks of flats collapsed killing hundreds of residents.
No praise from me – this is something they should have done in the first place.
The damage has already been done.
Yep. There are no heroes among the 60. We went best part of a year with no one speaking up against the madness. I think Swayne was really the first to speak up. But even he is tainted by his vaxo-mania. I don’t think a single MP has said that vaccinating the whole population is a bad idea.
It’s really encouragement they need, not praise
Fear is the greatest motivator. We need to take a leaf out of SPI-B’s book and make sure that the MPs feel a greater level of “personal threat”. This whole shitshow is intended to deliver Covid passports / Digital ID, and the Covid jabs are the battering ram for this. The Covid jabs are being offered / coerced / mandated under “Emergency Use Authorisation” (EUA). EUA is dependent on there being no effective treatment for Covid-19. But there ARE effective treatments for Covid-19 (including Ivermectin). I have previously sent my MP, by registered post (so that he can’t deny that he received it), documentation that demonstrates the effectiveness of Ivermectin. I have told him that he will be held to account if he does not take action to ensure that his constituents have access to potentially life-saving treatment (because information about it has been deliberately suppressed). I am now going to up the ante, by printing off and sending by registered post, Dr Tess Lawrie’s interim report on the Yellow Card Data (sorry, don’t have link). Up to 26 May 2021, the Covid jabs had killed 1,253 people. I will point out to my MP that he MUST NOW take… Read more »
I enjoyed reading your comment. Thank you.
I posted mine off today …
I am also Spartacus.
I’m Brian.
Release Brian!
Wait until Biggus Dickus hears of this!!!” …
Why did you put a stamp on it?
Why don’t those conservative mps get their letters in to the 1922 committee and really get things moving
Because the PM is relatively popular in the country at large, as is his party and their lunatic, evil policies. As I posted below, I think their only option is to either work from within and try to persuade more of their colleagues to their position, or declare they will vote down every single piece of legislation the govt tries to get enacted, not just on covid – effectively try to bring down the govt. It’s a high-risk strategy.
Exactly. that prospect disappeared with the local election results. Few politicians are principled enough to ditch someone they think is a winner.
Conversely, if they think a PM might cost them their seats, it’s amazing how many of them suddenly discover they have principles after all.
He’s popular on YouGuv, which I guess means he’s popular in China, or at least with its rulers.
It didn’t seem to translate to vote yesterday though, did it?
Just goes to show that most MPs are stupid, lazy and corrupt, but amenable to a covid allowance for the duration and “work” from home.
Devi Sridhar claimed the vax was 100% safe. Aren’t there laws about making such claims?
If I claimed I had a new diet pill that worked 100% and was 100% safe and it killed someone wouldn’t I be in trouble?
Devi Sridhar, Professor of Anthropology claimed the vaccine was 100% safe.
Before I write to congratulate them I want to know how many of them are Remainerscum.
Surely an issue that pales into insignificance in the face of the sheer evil and incompetence of the coronapanic?
(Though granted it’s easy to say that given the right side won the referendum and, sort of, the outcome. Hopefully it will all be irrelevant as the EU falls apart over the next decade or two, anyway.)
Does this mean mask regulations don’t end on 20 June on public transport?
Liam Fox in the ‘debate’.
Speaking in the Commons on Wednesday ahead of the vote, Tory former minister Dr Liam Fox said the UK could not wait for those who had refused a vaccine.
He said: “What we cannot have is the country being held to ransom by any groups who have been offered a vaccine but have chosen not to take – that is utterly unacceptable.”
So in their logic ,us sceptics are holding everyone else to ransom because we refuse to accept an emergency untested gene therapy for a bad cold.
There appears to be no way back from this rupture engineered into British society.
And Liam Fox is, or was, a doctor of medicine. Well, he was GP at least.
You’d think he of all people would know that the vaccine doesn’t prevent infection or transmission and only reduces symptoms.
‘Country held to ransom’
You have to be certifiable to come up with that reversal of the truth.
Hancock said this in reply:
Senior minister whose job it is to manage delivery of healthcare advocates denial of treatment based on personal choices. What’s next – refuse to treat anyone who has put themselves in harm’s way, according to whose mad, arbitrary criteria?
https://twitter.com/JamesMelville/status/1405212965976961024
Speaking in the House of Commons this afternoon, Health Secretary Matt Hancock suggested that people who refuse a covid-19 jab, will be refused treatment on the NHS.
Hancock was responding to a question from Tory MP Liam Fox about the vaccine status of those currently receiving hospital treatment for the so-called Delta variant.
Hancock said:
“I think that there is a material difference between the states responsibility to offer the vaccine to all adults.
And the duty that we have when somebody has not been offered the vaccine is greater than the duty we have when we have offered a vaccine but somebody has chosen not to take it up. And there is a material difference between those two situations.”
Yes , its a reversal of the sanctity of your own body. Its saying the State owns you, lock stock and barrel.
No idea why anyone would mark you down for your comment, is Fon around?
Someone should ask him how we are ‘holding the country to ransom’?
No one who turns down a vaccine has any right to ask others to lockdown in order to protect them. I dont want anyone locked down on my behalf. We do not want protecting from Covid.
Instead we should ask him who is lockdown supposed to be protecting?
It isnt the young, as they arent affected by Covid.
It cant be the vaccinated, as they are immune.
It isnt the refuse-jabbers like myself, as we do not want protecting.
That list includes everyone I think. So just who are we supposed to be protecting at this point?
These speeches by Swayne and Walker may have been fine in June 2020 but we were way beyond that by July 202o. By that even time the smallest benefit of the doubt about the true nature of the the Government’s had gone.
I’ve yet to hear an anti Lockdown MP mention the massive influence of the the Chinese Communist Party and the Bill and Melinda Gate Foundation on Sage. Covid, Climate Change and BLM are all part of the same agenda to destroy Western Civilisation from within. All three are based on huge lies.
CO2 only makes up 400 parts in a million (0.04%) and is vital to all life on earth. Yet it is talked about as some kind of pollutant. Human contribution to CO2 is just 5%.

Every one of those newly be-spined worms passed the Despotism Act 2020 on the nod. Not a single one of them cried “Object!” and forced a vote on it.
Baker can blubber all he likes now (like he did then), but he did this to us.
I wouldn’t give them the steam off my piss.
Last Autumn.I wrote to my MP Kate Griffiths to tell her if she didn’t vote against lockdown i m done with her. I am.
