I know I’m hours after the fray. But source in No10 says 48 letters are in and second source says conversations have taken place between Cabinet Office and Palace

A previous Government cannot bind a future government’s legislation.

Re: Brexit

Whilst I want to leave the EU, a 2nd referendum would be very exciting, bearing in mind that there won't be a Corbyn government in the near future.

Incidentally, there was an excellent article in yesterday's Torygraph that pitched the crassness of TM on the basis that she was doing the rounds to obtain "clarifications" on her "best deal" that was starkly clear on its terms! The article also noted that she had stiffed her cabinet colleagues on Monday morning by telling them to say that the vote was on for yesterday. What kind of person is that to lead the country?

No wonder OB has scarpered off the thread!

Re: Brexit

Just breaking on BBC News - vote of confidence on Theresa May taking place this evening, as 48 (or more) letters received by the 1922 Committee.

Simple majority of Tory MPs required.

It’d be funny if she held on.

I’m slightly surprised it’s taken this long.

Re: Brexit

Did not the DUP say that they would support the government in a vote of confidence in parliament?.

DUP have said as long her her deal doesn’t pass they will back the Government in a no confidence vote. That’s not to say they can’t change their mind depending on who (and what) proposals step forward. It’s not legally binding. ;)
