Some of those MPs were present, but they abstained (Tim Farron for example tweeted that he had abstained)

So not absent in all cases.

Mark Williams has tweeted that he abstained too.

I did say didn’t bother to vote, abstaining, too my mind, on this case is just the same as being absent.

“Couldn’t be bothered” is very distinct from “deliberately chose to abstain”
