it's also worth pointing out that even if the government loses a VONC, and even if the 14 days expires. The PM, a) does not have to resign and b) gets to choose the date of the GE, some time after 31st Oct methinks, mission accomplished we are out anyway. The Tories would then thrash Labour in the GE without all the brexit/VBQC cobras. However as I said all along the next GE will be 2022.

Even better.....The Times(Paywalled)

//Boris Johnson is preparing to trigger the end of European law’s supremacy in Britain as he cements his “do or die” pledge to leave the EU on October 31, The Times has been told. Within days Stephen Barclay, the Brexit secretary, is expected to sign an order that will repeal the European Communities Act 1972 after October 31. Senior Eurosceptics said the move would represent a “totemic” moment and put Mr Johnson’s pledge to leave with or without a deal “in black and white”. Theresa May had infuriated them by failing to make the order before the March 29 Brexit deadline and eventually agreed with the EU to delay Brexit until October 31.//

I reckon Boris is dishing out back handers to these people to put the wind up the British electorate ;-)

Not so fast, sir! Not so fast!

Following a vote of No Confidence the FTPA provides 14 days for the HOC to pass a motion of "Confidence" in any new government that may be formed in that period. So, if a new government is formed in that 14 days that secures the confidence of the House an immediate GE will not be required. If that happens all bets are off and the likely thwarting of Brexit, which I have been forecasting for about three months, will again ensue.

It seems clear that a NC vote will succeed. There are Tory Remainers who would rather see their own government fall than succumb to a proper Brexit. The issue then is whether another government could be formed in a fortnight. I suspect that it will, such is the contempt that Remainer MPs hold for the electorate.
