MPs are laughing at us.

Paterson hasn’t been let off - at least yet!
As I understand it, the issue is the lack of a right to appeal. Isn’t that more in line with the courts, employment law requirements of employers, etc? Why that was not already in place is difficult to fathom. But whatever happens next, if Paterson is as guilty as hell, that’s what the finding should be. |

Paterson has been claiming that his case was not properly investigated and it highlighted that the existing process was defective. A right of appeal is nothing more than natural justice - something you would be howling from the rooftops if it was a Labour MP. |

Given that 51 Tory MP's voted against this despite a three line whip, Labour had a golden opportunity to defeat the government. So why didn't they?

They would have needed more than 51 rebels (and only 13 voted against, others either abstained or were absent). |
