MANCHESTER Labour MP Graham Stringer has defended his recent decision to vote against a Commons amendment to limit the ability of a future British government to reform VAT that was moved by Tory pro-EU rebels.
He told a well-attended People’s Brexit TUC fringe meeting yesterday evening: “Had the Tory government lost the vote on that amendment, a vote of no confidence would still be necessary in order to force its resignation and I will always be ready to help bring that about.”
