Just had a quick look through Lammy's twitter posts to see if he's voting against the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill coming before the house this week. Various Labour MPs have taken a stand against the three-line whip put in place by Corbyn.
Each MP has to decide if they are voting on behalf of the country which narrowly voted to leave the EU or for their constituency (who voted them in). The constituency of Tottenham voted strongly to remain.
Anyone know if Lammy has stated how he will vote?

Ah, that would be the Libdems who kept the Tories in power for 5 years, lied and lied about their manifesto on education and voted for a huge round of cuts to public services and helped the Tories with privatising the NHS.
Helped the Tories continue New Labour's work on privatising the NHS...
What a load of nonsense. Libdems are the only choice of the left? Dont make me laugh. As Philip Foxe above alluded to, their record from 2010-2015 is evidence of their actual values.
Unfortunately, with so few MPs in the House of Commons, the LibDems are unlikely to have much impact on the vote...
Thanks Lesley. Michael, regular contributor on here, might know as he's an active Tottenham Labour member ...
FPR, I've heard of Green members switching to the LibDems.
In November David Lammy said he would vote against article 50 - that was before the 3-line whip, but he has rebelled before and was very vocal about his opposition to leaving the EU. I've just written to ask him to vote against - perhaps he would to hear from more of his constituents?
I'm so gutted that we 48% of 'the people' who voted Remain have no-one to represent us, or stick up for the rights of all the Europeans living in this country who are being treated disgracefully. There is no such thing as an opposition any more.
What do you mean " the rights of all the Europeans who are being treated disgracefully ?
What has changed ?
What about all the people in Tottenham who voted to leave ? who represents them ?
