Parliament having a 'meaingful vote' shouldn't be up for discussion. If they have votes that aren't meaningful, they're wasting tax payers money.
Anyway, at least there's one Tory mininster prepared to put the good of the country before his own career and party.

A UK minster has resigned in protest at the government’s handling of Brexit.
Phillip Lee said he was standing down in order to “speak up” for his country.
Writing on Twitter, he said: “I am incredibly sad to have had to announce my resignation as a minister in Her Majesty’s Government so that I can better speak up for my constituents and country over how Brexit is currently being delivered.”
Dr Lee said resigning was a “last resort” that he turned to since “a serious principle is being breached that I would find it hard to live with myself afterwards if I let it pass.”
“If, in the future, I am to look my children in the eye and honestly say that I did my best for them I cannot, in all good conscience, support how our country’s current exit from the EU looks set to be delivered,” he said on Twitter.
The dramatic resignation comes shortly before the UK prime minister faces 48 hours of potentially knife-edge votes in the House of Commons.
