From the linked article. Starmer is photographed with Lammy in the background and the text MPs defy whip on Brexit with vote for UK rejoining customs union The ‘advisory’ Liberal Democrat bill passed the Commons with a majority of one More than a dozen Labour MPs have defied the party whips and voted in favour of the UK rejoining a customs union with the European Union. The group, which included Dame Meg Hillier, the influential chair of the Treasury select committee, backed the Liberal Democrat motion in the Commons despite calls from party managers to abstain from the vote. As a result, the Liberal Democrat Ten-Minute Rule Bill passed the Commons with a majority of one, after the deputy Speaker cast the deciding vote in its favour.
