[Wynonie Harris]

Deals and trade-offs to get bills through are a fact of life in Parliament - on all sides. Also, as I understand it, Davis had stated his intentions to stand down if the bill went through, beforehand, so it wasn't a protest about the way it was passed.

Once again, I would say, there was absolutely no need for this farcical bye-election and it has changed absolutely nothing - apart from landing us, the taxpayers, with a needless bill.
