Published 30 June 2025 2 min read
June 2025 stands out as the most rebellious month of the Parliament by a wide margin. Across ten sitting days and 40 divisions — fifteen carried, 25 rejected — MPs cast more than 1,500 votes against their own party's majority, several times any other month's total.
Crime and justice led the tagged subjects, and nearly 18,800 votes were cast in all. It was a month in which party discipline was tested far more heavily than usual.
