We may have lost the vote but they deserve our thanks.
See previous post, MPs vote in favour of plain packaging: 122 Conservative MPs voted for plain packs which means that fewer than a half of all Tory MPs voted in favour.

Good to see my MP Thérèse Coffey voted against, I've got to thank her for that. This puts me in a difficult position as I tend to vote for the party I want to see in power as opposed to who I who I want as my MP.
As an aside, it's no surprise to see Ben Gummer vote against. His father John was one of the MP's who voted against the smoking ban.
Glad to see my mp Gareth Johnson voted against. However Priti Patel is not on the list, she claimed to be dead against this. The Conservative's will live to regret this in May. Glad to see Ukip's mp's voted against this as well.
Thank you, Simon.
Well, if I had any lingering doubts about not voting for my Conservative MP this time they are gone now.
He's not on the list.
Philip Davies is missing from the list. Was he unable to attend?
No idea of his views on the issue, but I would have liked to see Owen Paterson on that list. Otherwise a pretty comprehensive list of all the Tory MPs worth voting for, their former colleagues and two LibDems who are actually liberal.
Adam, re Philip Davies, yes, he had another commitment. Strongly against plain packaging, though.
I'm surprised William Hague voted for it.
The trouble is with our gutless cowardly MPs they are doing what the the facist EU dictates.Did u vote for control by the EU ? No nietehet did I .We fought two WWs to keep the bastards out and what have we ? Licking a muslims backside.Gutless traitors.
Thank you for all your efforts Simon,
I think we were all half-expecting this result from our puppet-masters
I was extremely disappointed to see that my own conservative MP George Eustice does not appear on the list, especially as he claims to have once worked for UKIP.
Up until now I was an undecided voter. Now I am decided.
Although Scotland had a vote for independence for many reasons, one is because Westminster is no longer relevant to the people they are supposed to serve. Perhaps we could have a vote for the whole of the UK on independence from Westminster and its self interest groups who obviously know nothing of individual choice, accommodation and respect. My MP did vote against and I thank you Simon but the party has now lost its values as did labour ten years ago. I also will be voting UKIP in the hope of saving what little remains of this democracy
