Whether you agree or disagree with the principle behind the cap. The very fact that many of these Labour MPs voted to take a gigantic dump on many of their constituents should leave a horribly bitter taste in the mouth of any labour voter, past and present. Remember, Scotland has extremely high poverty levels for being part of a supposedly "developed" nation.


Across the UK, a grand total of 13 Labour MPs managed to grow a spine and oppose the cap
