I’ve never seen scenes like it at the entrance to a voting lobby. Tories on open warfare. Jostling and Rees Mogg shouting at his colleagues.
Whips screaming at Tories.
They are done and should call a general election.
Two Tory whips dragging people in. Shocking.

Hard to describe the scenes outside the Government voting lobby on the fracking vote. Cabinet members being shouted at, Tory MPs shaking their heads in disbelief, people asking “is this a confidence vote or not”. What a mess.
We need a general election.

Really fractious exchanges in the lobbies just now. One Tory MP properly being cajoled by whips through the voting lobby. Whipping in its most primitive sense.

George Freeman – 2022 Comments on Fracking Vote
The comments made by George Freeman, the Conservative MP for Mid Norfolk, on Twitter on 19 October 2022.
To be clear on fracking. I remain:
100% committed to our 2019 Manifesto on which I was elected
100% committed to AONB protections
reassured by clear Minister commitment that fracking will only happen w local consent and a vote in House.
So no need to lose the Whip tonight.
