If my calculations are right if the ERG backed the third vote on TMs deal it would have passed.
Chris is on the money here. TMs future was tied to the DUP (in that she couldn’t lead the Tories into another GE). Boris isn’t tied in the same way. He wants a general election. After he delivers any kind of Brexit he must fancy his chances to win a decent majority.

It's whether Jeremy will bail BoJo out considering all the bad blood between them. Perhaps the chicken jibes weren't such a good idea after all.

I think the Conservatives could squeeze this through without the Labour Party.
