Rachael Maskell and Dawn Butler have resigned from Labour’s Shadow Cabinet.
No. Me neither.
They quit over Jeremy's 3-line whatsit vote to trigger the formal process of leaving the EU.
Yep - me neither.
Corbyn probably said the same.
And Diane Abbott had a headache and couldn't drag herself along to the house to vote.
Probably a first.
BBC Radio 4 - Today, Did Diane Abbott have 'Brexit flu'?
"Taken ill" or "a bit peckish" call it what you will.
She normally noshes Jezza....

To be fair, I don't envy the position she was in. Vote with her constituency, largely remain or defy the whip. Not bothering probably a good choice in the long run.
Yep two of them.
