They may have wanted that vote of no confidence before, but now they must surely be reconsidering.

The raison d'etre of the official opposition is to govern so it would be perverse in the extreme not to make the attempt if such an opportunity exists.
What is interesting if any Labour MP's vote with the Tories in such a no confidence motion. If they did, in order to get a No Deal Brexit per their personal wishes, they should be expelled and deselected immediately.
