Have you nothing else to say about anything Jack? I'm sure we're well past the point of thread crapping by this stage.
Oh Britain, what have you done (part ∞+22)?

Thread crapping is precisely what you are doing. I have replied to a post put up on this thread where Tariq Ali said that Corbyn would be campaigning for Leave if he wasn't the leader of the Labour Party.
Your comment here is, to be quite honest, pathetic.

Sorry Jack I shouldn't have personalised, it's just that it's relentless finger jabbing stuff. Best I just let go of this, to be honest.

Thanks Sean. I was going to suggest we ignore each other's posts, but that would undermine the debate.
Ironically enough Tariq Ali left the IMG and joined Labour in 1981. He did this to support Tony Benn in his bid to become deputy leader. They were both political heroes of mine, apart from the EEC/EU and no doubt one or two other issues.

Let’s see who voted against it...

Predictable. And why there’s no chance of a no confidence motion winning a majority.
Hard Brexit here we come.

I should imagine John Mann and Lisa Nandy etc in Labour, although I might be wrong. I wonder if Corbyn enforced a whip on the vote?

Hoey and Flint at least supported the Government again. They’d vote against a no confidence as well I suspect.
How do these people still have the whip? Voting against a Labour motion?
I lost the will to Search further.

Will the eight Labour MPs against the proposal today vote to ensure No Deal happens on October 31st, because there will be another effort to stop it. It wouldn't surprise me if they do.
It is starting to look like Johnson could be PM. The original Sky rundown after his speech today mentioned the questions he didn't answer, like cocaine usage. Later on when reporters were querying Tory MPs all of that seemed to have been swept under the nostril.
I don't think Osborne's Evening Standard mentioned it at all. They seem to be backing Johnson to be PM.
Martin Fletcher at The New Statesman has got it right though Repellent, chaotic and a serial liar, Boris Johnson would be a catastrophic prime minister https://www.newstatesman.com/politi...JrzGPdNlivu8qJglGpDflH6OSQmgcNAvKVPw-VIrRzATs

Has Corbyn ever done that?
Anyway it'll be interesting to see what Labour do as those 8 votes made the difference between a win and a loss on their own motion.

True. Makes it hard for him to act!
But voting against a no confidence if they do has to be a sacking offence.

I imagine that would be. In the mean time there's no point sacking people who you need to win around, and may well still be able to: apparently 5 of the 8 hadn't rebelled on Brexit before, so they're not die hards. WTF they're actually thinking then I don't know. But underlying it, according to Stephen Bush anyway, is the assumption that this isn't the last chance they'll get to stop no deal (Bush isn't so sure).
