Actually, he hadn't made clear that he was referring to a specific vote in parliament on 11th September 2017.

This vote was enhanced by 7 Labour MPs joining the Tories and a considerable number of them abstaining.

Which is why the argument that SF going to Westminster will make a blind bit of difference to Brexit, or anything else important is complete nonsense.

Correct.  That was my point in giving the actual numbers for each party which show that the Tories plus DUP cannot be beaten with or without the DUP.

Where are all the t**sers who said Sinn Fein taking their seats in Westminster didn't matter anyway??!!

DUP in a f**king Coalition Government??!!

Time for Sinn Fein to get real and think about taking their seats in Westminster lest we get tramped into the ground again. Saying a meaningless oath is much less an issue for me than letting the DUP run amok!

Sinn Féin's absence badly felt tonight again in Westminster!!

Not gona matter as the EU are not going to accept this white paper. The DUP are callin the shots which is more worryin than brexit

Lib Dems getting a bit of flak as Vince Cable and Tim Farron both missed the votes last night.  Also 2 SNP MPs weren't at the vote either.  Despite the vast majority of Tory MPs being Remainers "only" 14 voted against the Brexit loons amendments.

Right wing lunatic, to be expected.

Labour in turmoil too. "Blairites" apparently. There is real dissent in that party.

Tony getting traction again although it may have to be a former lieutenant in David Milliband to grasp the nettle but he needs a GE first and Corbyn has proven to be a decent performer then.

The large influx of new members of the Labour party could probably face down another leadership challenge. Corbyn is safe in that regard.

imtommygunn

Yeah i think he's safe too. Just a pity he is pro brexit :(

Just a matter of time until may goes i think. She is a weak leader and quite frankly with some decisions she has made a vile woman who's only saving grace is she is less vile than gove, boris or rees mogg.
