November 2024 was shaped by the aftermath of the Budget. Across eight sitting days the Commons held 24 divisions — 18 carried and six rejected — and tax was comfortably the most divided-on subject, featuring in fourteen tagged votes. Around 12,000 votes were cast in all.
It also brought the session's first sizeable rebellion: 237 votes were recorded against an MP's own party majority, far above the near-zero tallies of the opening months.
