FAREWELL (AND GOOD RIDDANCE)

We made this very emotional video chronicling some of those MPs who perished in the Tory election victory.  How apt that we begin with the hideous, self-serving and eternally out of touch Mary Creagh who this evening reportedly confronted Corbyn and gave him a 20 minute lecture about how it was his leadership that cost Remainer MPs like her their place on the gravy train.  Never mind the fact that her constituents returned a 63% Leave vote after which she spent three and a half years trying to overturn - that had nothing to with it?


We couldn't include all the MPs who lost their jobs as there wasn't a sad piano track long enough, but for those featured you can see how they bowed out in their 2019 election results below.  The incumbents are in bold (changes versus 2017 general election).

WHO WERE THE ORIGINAL BREXIT BLOCKERS?

It's been a while since the House of Commons voted to trigger Article 50.  It's been over two years in fact, we know that because we should have left the EU after two years and we're still in!  While the vote went overwhelmingly in favour of triggering Article 50, there were still 114 MPs who voted against it.  The breakdown by party was as follows.

SNP - 50
Labour - 47 (in defiance of party whips)
Lib-Dem - 7
SDLP - 3
Independents - 3
Plaid - 2
Conservative - 1 (Ken Clarke)
Green - 1
