Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
EU Bill vote - David Lammy
Just had a quick look through Lammy's twitter posts to see if he's voting against the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill coming before the house this week. Various Labour MPs have taken a stand against the three-line whip put in place by Corbyn.
Each MP has to decide if they are voting on behalf of the country which narrowly voted to leave the EU or for their constituency (who voted them in). The constituency of Tottenham voted strongly to remain.
Anyone know if Lammy has stated how he will vote?

Meeting moved to Friday, you can add yourself to the list if you want to attend. Matt, I don't get the impression much convincing is required but it's still important to turn up. It'd be crap if he changed his mind because people didn't.
Dear Constituent,
We thank those of you who have already responded to confirm your attendance for the Open Surgery meeting about Brexit which was scheduled for 1st February 2017
Unfortunately we have to change the date and time of the event as the timings of the votes on Article 50 Wednesdayevening are expected to run later than we were originally told.
As we know you are aware, it is imperative that David is present for all the votes.
The meeting has therefore been rearranged to Friday 3rd February at 6.30-7.30pm and the new location is Holy Trinity Church Parish Hall, Philip Ln, Tottenham, London N15 4GZ.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this change, although we are sure you will understand that this scheduling is out of our hands and has been subject to last minute change.
We hope that those of you who have already confirmed are still able to make it and would be grateful if you could confirm either way by return of email.
If anyone else is now available to attend please also reply including for security reasons the names, emails and addresses with postcodes for all those wishing to attend.
Kind regards,
Office of David Lammy MP

Thanks for this, I can't come to the meeting but have emailed David to say I support him voting against triggering article 50.

Seems David Lammy is planning to defy the whip on this vote

I asked a couple of labour councillors at Turnpike Lane today how Lammy was going to vote, and he hasn't told the local party apparently, but seems likely he will vote against. I do hope so.

Thank you all and well spotted Michael re the Indy list. Shocked how few are voting against, esp in London and other cities, where constituents largely voted to remain.

These are the ones who have declared there intentions so far Matt. The final list could be very different (either + or - )

Can you provide a link to this thanks.

A three line whip announced by Jeremy Corbin to vote to activate article 50, the greatest disappointment, don't sell us out.
Haringey was in the top three constituencies in Britain to remain, we did not vote for this @DavidLammy @catherinewest1
Let them know.
