The following British MEPs voted against Baroness Ashton when her nomination was put to the vote in the plenary session of the European Parliament today:
Deva and Callanan (Tory)
Batten, Clark, Farage, Nattrass (UKIP)
Allister (ex-DUP)
Kilroy-Silk, Knapman, Mote, Wise (ex-UKIP)
These abstained:
Hannan, Helmer, Ashworth, Atkins, Beazley, Bowis, Bradbourn, Bushill-Matthews, Chichester, Dover, Elles, Harbour, Kamall, Kirkhope, McMillan-Scott, Parish, Purvis, Stevenson, Sturdy, Sumberg, Van Orden (Tory)
Newton-Dunn (Lib Dems)
For the record the votes cast were as follows:
For Cathy Ashton 538
Against 40
Abstain 63
This means that of the 103 who either voted against or abstained 23 were British Tories.
This is absolutely shameful bahaviour by a Party that claims to have British interests at heart. The Tories in Europe have once again shown their true colours.
