Luke Pollard – 2022 Comments on Government Whips During Fracking Vote

The comments made by Luke Pollard, the Labour MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport, on Twitter on 19 October 2022.

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.
