Not a proper one, though. Guess pissing about is the order of the day.
Trying to isolate her more? Dunno, she's determined to make it all about her and listen to no one else. Maybe she is the problem and her refusal to countenance anything except her own way is the road block.

Labour want to fire shots but theyve only got blanks so i guess reason they might as well fire them. Cant hurt

It's a no confidence motion in May, not in the government, Corbyn is just playing silly games, because he knows he hasn't got the numbers for a proper no confidence motion.

I think “pissing about” is as good as any of this gets now
Perhaps if they'd gone ahead with the tabling as trailed this afternoon, rather than pulling it then u-turning and tabling it after all I'd think it was ok. As it is, Labour look a bit daft, and they're closing down their options re: holding off supporting a second vote. I guess something must have happened backstage.

Suitcase or coffin used to be the options given in a collapsing Algeria
Coffin or coffin is the only choice these scum will get on the glorious day

Probably more strategic than that, though not necessarily in a good way. If they were to table & lose a VoNC in the Government they would not be able to hide behind the claim that they were going for a GE. That 'fire-wall' gone, Jezz would have to come clean about EUref II.

Seems like a nice chap. Nice to see a well presented young man on television.

Have to admit that I keep on thinking about that gantry of a garage in Milan's Piazzale Loreto.

I don't quite know what Corbyn is playing at but I'll be interested to know who advised him this was a good idea - looks a bit odd when he could just go for a proper no confidence in govt vote.
I get the impression as we've increasingly become drawn into Parliamentary procedures, Corbyn as well as May has become somewhat dragged along by events - does he really know what he's doing here?
PS Same old suit since 1962...

I think the theory was that this might have got some of the tories who aren't happy with current policy (either the hard brexiters or the second referendumers) to vote with labour, which they almost certainly wouldn't do on a real no confidence vote.
The numbers aren't there at the moment for a proper no confidence vote - that would only stand a chance if the DUP got really pissed off with the tories, and a few tories were pissed off enough to go with it.
But can't help thinking this has put Corbyn in to a position (quite possibly intentionally by political enemies both inside the labour party and not) where he'd be criticised if he didn't go for a vote, and likewise if he did and lost.
