And the other one, Watson, actually voted FOR the recent Snoopers Charter. More irony.

  Do we know why this was? That he changed stance?

    I don't think the cabinet is allowed to vote against the govt.
    • rosbrith 10y ago
      Indeed. Handing out ministerial positions is a good way of quashing dissent in the party.

      David Davis is the one who's now in the cabinet. Tom Watson is now Labour's deputy leader, and therefore quite decidedly not in the cabinet.

        Ah, my apologies - I misread the parent comment.
      • chippy 10y ago
        Davis actually didn't vote on the issue.
