No, they've refused to give up government time for a motion which isn't a VONC.
-
In a Labour leadership election, we'd already know the top two...
-
You can't react (like, flag spam or OT) to your own comment. (At least through the VF side on mobile, but presumably on any platform.)
-
He's more of a Plonkr.
-
Yep, that was one of my comments. Which I couldn't have marked as OT!
-
. What, that "temporary no confidence" doesn't exist?
-
Got a link? I don't recall that. Could have been a fat finger on my phone, if it was me. But how do you know it was me?
-
I don't have a reference to hand, but IIRC from last time a tie for last place excludes both.
-
No, sooner than that - I think they said balloting would be open from 1.30 to 3.30pm. And this time they don't get to collect signatures on paper...
-
You do know that it's trivial to see that you don't have a single comment from today marked as off topic, right?
-
I flagged as spam a clear breach of the number one rule of the comments (and the said post has now been deleted). Meanwhile, someone (I could guess who) has been marking me as spam and off topic all afternoon. (Edit: including this one! They must really be obsessed with me, to carry on after a warning from @PBModerator...)
-
The worry with that is that means testing means administrative costs, which (as Sir Humphrey would tell you) can always be made to outweigh the savings.
-
That's quite surprising, and we're down to 8. So with daily ballots tomorrow and Thursday, and four Commons sitting days next week, they shouldn't need any multi-ballot days to get to the final two before recess.
-
It's pretty clear that on the face of it SKS's attempted motion was of "temporary no confidence", and such a concept doesn't exist, and they must know that. So the logical conclusion is they were doing it for the retweets.
-
This is your idea of ignoring me, is it?
-
No, it wasn't a similar motion. That one was "no confidence and" and this one was "no confidence but".
-
I'm afraid you've misunderstood. A general election only follows if no alternative PM who can command a majority in the Commons can be found. But we already know (and the wording of SKS's attempted motion implies) that by 5th September latest, such a PM can be found. Under FTPA, there would have been more of a problem…
-
Is the deadline 6pm? I've been looking through news reports but can't find anything more specific than "nominations will open and close today".
-
So apparently it wasn't just us lot who went "who?", but his colleagues too...
-
The suggestion that he would try to stay in office beyond 5th September is utterly paranoid. And the people suggesting it were saying just a week or two ago that he would never resign without a successful VONC first.
-
The VONC would be in the government but in the current circumstances, it is known that no later than 5th September there will be a new Prime Minister who can put together a new government which will command the confidence of the House.
-
Well, given that it's triggered Scotty into spamming idiotic tweets into the PB comments, Labour have clearly done what they were intending to do...
-
Not necessarily. Even when FTPA was in effect, not necessarily, and definitely not now.

It is "in order" in the technical sense that the Commons could debate it. However, it doesn't fulfil the requirements for it to take precedence over all other business, so it will stay on the order paper un-debated.

My wife has just been accepted to study at university at the age of 46, and I am most incredibly proud of her. Now we just have to jump through all of SFE's hoops to pay for it!
-
I misread your post as contradictory of the one you were quoting, apoligies if it was intended to be supportive. My brain's a bit frazzled because of my upcoming personal news...
-
My understanding is that you are correct.
-
But Boris is going at the hands of his own party, and nothing that happens tomorrow would change that.
