no confidence vote

MPs may eventually need to kick Johnson out of Downing St and hold an election. But they should first try to force him to hold a referendum.

We’re probably not crashing out of the EU on October 31. MPs will stop that. We’ll then be into either a referendum or election.

12 Tories would vote to bring down a PM who tried to crash out, says defence minister. There might then be a referendum, not an election.

May’s cross-party meetings, Labour plan for more votes, campaigns for “Norway”: it’s all just can-kicking. MPs must now back People’s Vote.

Brextremists have opened Pandora’s Box. But people often forget that the last fairy in the box was hope. In this case, it’s a People’s Vote.

Whether May stays or goes, big picture hasn’t changed. Brexit project has failed. Opposition must push for vote sooner rather than later.

It makes sense for Labour to let May try, and fail, to tweak her deal. But letting uncertainty run any longer is bad for its supporters.

In past, PMs could use no confidence votes to get MPs to back their policies. Since Fixed Term Parliaments Act, that’s no longer possible.
