We will start voting tonight at midnight, and will finish about 1.30am. That wouldn't be so bad, if it didn't take me over an hour and a half to drive back to Bedfordshire- and if I didn't have to be back here for 9am in the morning. Thank goodness it doesn't happen too often.

I hope my whip isn't reading this right now. Unbeknown to him, and to myself until just a few minutes ago, I am going to rebel tonight. Not only am I going to rebel, I am going to be a teller, something I have never done before. Oh well, here goes.... why am I so scared?!!!

 

Good stuff being a teller but we must pay for the carbon pollution somehow. After reading of your exploits on Iain Dale I have now bookmarked you. My advice is to stay away from the bars in the House and go and do some research after your rebel telling.

Thank you so much for that advice. As I am someone who visits the bar about once every three months, it wont be difficult to follow! Perhaps you would like to explain what measures you would like to see levied against domestic homes, given that they produce 25% of our carbon emissions and aircraft 3%. Also, how do we deal with the problem of China building the equivalent of, is it five power stations per week?

Fear comes from leaving the perceived security of the collective But it's an illusion, rather like an independent minded MP! With three-liners and de-selection it’s a hard path to take, to say nothing of kissing goodbye to any career prospects, nonetheless I commend your aspiration, and sincerely wish for more MP's like you

A 'teller' - is that a bit like a 'Stool Pigeon' ?
