Nothing preposterous about it and the point I was making was that the opposition is complaining about Boris's 'dirty tricks' and then they pull a stunt like this.
Could you clarify how him/they being in attendance when he loses a VONC would stop Corbyn being "in power", please?

Also, any VONC must be put to the Speaker at least a day before to allow it to be put in the following day’s business, so there can’t be a "surprise" VONC.

There is something in the Bill which states, if he hasn’t got a deal, he must ask for an extension.

So , if he hasn’t got a deal, it will be illegal for him to exit the EU on the 31st October.

No-one in their right minds wants civil unrest and certainly not the government. It is the people who are trying to undermine democracy who are making all the noise out there at the moment, so you might want to re-think.
I think you will find it’s the Leave supporters, and an unnamed Leave Cabinet Minister, that are making all the comments about riots and civil unrest - your statement is false.
