Brexit slowly becoming a Farce.

Imagine Anna Soubry in like Game of Thrones. Turning up at the Red Wedding kitted out in full armour and asking why nobody is willing to sit next to her at the dinner table.

 

Or getting her norks out in front of a fire then flying off on a dragon.

Anna Soubry has stated she will vote for Theresa May in a no confidence vote.

Anna Soubry was on a panel this afternoon demanding Labour call a no confidence vote.

 

 

 

Why does Anna Soubry get so much airtime?

She just comes across as a useless hand-wringer type. And now an enabler of a hopeless PM.

They also lied their heads off about their financial stats to fool the European Central Bank and keep the good times rolling.
Think that also both ways though. Anything provided would have been audited in huge depth but for whatever reason, approval was given.

I suspect that Greece was highlighted as a strategically important state due to it's strategic importance to Russia so the thinking was to just integrate as strongly as possible.

Blackford admits that the SNP can call a no confidence vote!

I wonder why they want Corbyn to call one?

If Blackford called it the Government could refuse to have a vote on it, AFAIK only the leader of the official opposition can force one.

3.4 No confidence and confidence motions
The Act sets out the form in which no confidence and confidence motions would be valid for the purposes of an early general election or confirmation by the Commons of the formation of a new government. This would not appear to prevent other types of motions of censure from being debated or passed.

And here we go.

Looking good if they have a new leader for the next General Election but pretty dire in the short term, if as I assume, the majority of members are Brexiteers.

And yet, there are hourly reminders that it could be a lot worse. European Research Group henchman Steve Baker MP has declared that the four Eurosceptics who have quit the cabinet – Boris Johnson, David Davis, Dominic Raab and Esther McVey – should decide which one of them will run as a Brexit PM. What a banquet of choice for the British people that would be. According to YouGov polling this week, Boris Johnson’s approval ratings are currently minus 35, David Davis’s are minus 19, Dominic Raab’s are minus 21, and Esther McVey’s were not polled, presumably on the basis that the recently departed high priestess of universal credit would break their measuring device.

That doesn't refute what I said. If Blackford calls for a vote of no confidence, the Government can say no. If Corbyn calls it, they can't.

If Blackford has the numbers for a vote of no confidence he surely has the numbers for a debate?

And conversely if he can't gain support for a debate then he definitely can win the no confidence vote.

Haven't a clue what you mean there, but there probably is some procedural way that the Speaker could wangle it as an Emergency Motion, but there's no point if Labour aren't backing it. I agree with Labour's position btw, it would not carry the House at the moment even if Corbyn was behind it.
