Published 30 November 2025 2 min read
November 2025 was a busy, balanced month: 33 divisions over nine sitting days, with nineteen carried and fourteen rejected, and just over 14,100 votes cast.
Housing was the most divided-on topic. Rebellions were minimal — ten votes against party majorities — while some 200 new Early Day Motions were tabled, a reminder of the issues MPs were raising beyond the division lobbies.
