This afternoon MPs will get the chance to register to vote on the ‘Stormont brake’ aspect of Rishi Sunak’s revised Brexit deal, with No. 10 treating this as a vote on the Windsor Framework as a whole. Labour have said that they will back the Conservatives in the voting lobbies so there is no danger of ministers losing the vote. However the government still hopes to keep the rebellion as small as possible. The DUP have now confirmed that all eight of their number will not support Sunak, with James Duddridge becoming the first Tory to add his name to that list.

DUP:

  1. Sir Jeffrey Donaldson
  2. Ian Paisley Jr
  3. Sammy Wilson
  4. Gregory Campbell
  5. Paul Girvan
  6. Jim Shannon
  7. Carla Lockhart
  8. Gavin Robinson

Conservatives who will vote against:

  1. James Duddridge: ‘I’m not going to negotiate away my principles, nor is the Government going to be able to polish a little brown thing’
  2. David Jones: ‘It’s creating a situation where the UK could be subject to all the obligations of EU membership without any benefits and there’s no purpose in doing that.
