Brexit indicative votes: results and rebels

The House of Commons held ‘indicative votes’ tonight, which saw MPs vote at 7pm on a series of Brexit options with the aim of identifying how best to break the parliamentary deadlock.

Labour whipped MPs to support motions: (J), advocating customs union membership; (K), Labour’s Brexit plan; and (M), endorsing a “confirmatory public vote” on any deal (D).

The leadership also “encouraged support” for motion D, put forward by the cross-party group Common Market 2.0, which backs plans for a Norway-style arrangement including single market membership.

Shadow cabinet members Andrew Gwynne, Ian Lavery and Jon Trickett defied the Labour whip and abstained on Margaret Beckett’s motion for another referendum. There has been no sign so far that they will be forced to resign.

Melanie Onn quit as a shadow housing minister to vote against Beckett’s motion.

Labour backbenchers Ronnie Campbell, Kate Hoey and Dennis Skinner voted in favour of a no deal Brexit.
