Ailing MP wheeled into Commons in pyjamas criticises Tory whips

A Labour MP who discharged herself from hospital and attended parliament in her pyjamas in order to take part in a Brexit vote has accused Tory whips of stripping her of her dignity.Naz Shah, the MP for Bradford West, said parliamentary voting procedures were archaic and undignified after the whips refused her request to be paired with a Tory MP to cancel out each other’s vote – a practice that allows MPs to be absent from parliament with good reason.
