If this is true, then THANK GOODNESS!!

It just might all be over and done with by 31st October, despite Parliament's best efforts to undermine their constituents' votes.

Sheffield constituents offer absent MP a lift to parliament for Johnson deal vote

Constituents of a disgraced MP have taken to social media to express concern that their representative might not show up to cast a crucial vote in parliament on Boris Johnson's withdrawal agreement.

Former Labour MP Jared O'Mara has missed a number of key Brexit votes this year, including the September vote that saw the Benn Act passed.

O'Mara, the independent MP for Sheffield Hallam, has had a difficult year which led to him announcing he would resign from the Commons in September, a plan he later postponed.

One Sheffielder said on Twitter, in response to a call to get MPs to back the PM's deal: "I would if we had an MP (Jared O'Mara) who actually goes to the HoC and actually bothers voting!"

Fingers and toes crossed.?
