Tories tried to get the Speaker of the House (a Tory they seem to hate) removed by secret ballot as their last act of this Parliament (see post below).
Today’s Guardian reports that David Cameron rushed back to the House to vote for secrecy.
Were Tories whipped?
“Tory MPs say that although it was nominally a free vote, a three-line whip was imposed to be in Parliament. At a parliamentary meeting, Tory MPs were told it was Hague’s birthday and he deserved the present of not being defeated”.
Now we know what model our EDDC Tories follow!
