If the opposition have a working majority of one, doesn't this mean that Corbyn would win a no-confidence vote on Johnson now? |  |

Yes, but what happens then?
No point displacing Johnson if you can't replace him.
The objective now is simply to prevent a no-deal Brexit and that looks highly likely. Again though, what alternative will they produce instead. The EU will not continue to agree extensions simply for more faffing. |  |

Well quite, but I thought Corbyn was waiting for the right time to call a no-confidence motion, so surely with a majority, now is that time (or tomorrow as they are a bit busy tonight)? | |

Trouble with having a GE right now is that you could tumble out on a no-deal because there is no-one running the country because they're all dicking about chasing votes. |  |

Just abolish parliament completely and have a referendum on everything. It’s the only way forward. |  |

It's worse than that. 16 Tories are expected to vote against the government tonight. Johnson has said they will be stripped of the whip*. This means that his majority will be -17.
However, most of these Tories wouldn't support a Corbyn government. Neither will the Lib Dems, Soubry's indies or selected Labour rebels.
There is no functioning government.
The only solution is a general election but it looks likely that two thirds of MP's won't support that.
So we are screwed.
*One of the rebels is Nick Soames. So Boris will be kicking Winston Churchill's grandson out of the Tory party. [Post edited 3 Sep 2019 21:54]

No point in them staging a Queen's Speech - they can't even guarantee passing that. |  |

If we don't have an election then we need a government of national unity that does not include the leaders of either the Tory or Labour party as PM. We need a functioning government. | |

That would be the ideal, but depends whether Corbyn (or his backers) can swallow his ambition for now. Don't think Johnson will get a look in. | |

Maybe he will join the Liberals just like his dear old Gramps. |  |
