The decision was approved with 43 councillors voting in favour, one against and 24 abstaining.

Twelve clubs voted to change the rules, with two abstaining and six voting against the changes.

On Monday, Banerjee announced that no action will be taken against protesting doctors for abstaining from work.

And only one Labour MP actually explicitly voted against the government, as opposed to abstaining.

It is not yet known how many of those were abstaining, as some MPs may have been absent for another reason.
