GRIMSBY MP TAKES ABSTENTION OPTION IN LATEST 'COMMONS BREXIT VOTE

GRIMSBY MP Melanie Onn abstained in Saturday's Commons vote on the Letwin Amendment.

However approval of the amendment may only provide a short respite before MPs vote on whether to rubber-stamp the Government's Brexit deal.

Barring a late change of mind, Ms Onn is still expected  to defy Labour Whips by voting with the Government.

She is highly  uncomfortable about riding with Prime Minister Conservative Boris Johnson but believes this option preferable to voting against his proposal  which carries the risk of the UK leaving without a deal - an outcome which, she believes, would be harmful to country and  constituency.
