As a PPS, I had to resign when I voted against the first meaningful vote. Understood that, due to collective responsibility. Even though a relatively minor position, I was bound by that code. It is inconceivable that any Minister defying a three line whip can stay in position.

New: Jacob Rees-Mogg says that the 20 Tory ministers who abstained tonight in bid to take no deal off the table should quit: ‘Collective responsibility requires ministers to support government policy or to resign. It is a basic constitutional point’

Tonight’s Parliamentary vote result, by coincidence, was 48% to 52%. Sound familiar..? I am sure all those campaigning that the 2016 referendum victory was not decisive enough will insist on tonight’s vote being re-run as well. Then again, maybe this only works one way...
