not much. the dup would have to vote against the government - and they've been bought off - for now. It will take a few defections and by-election defeats.

So many particulars. So many questions.
its been voted on and passed now, so thats all she wrote for now. It remains to be seen how much loyalty 1bn gets you and how much the members of her own party are willing to back. Blood in the water and when ye swim with sharks...

Actually I don't think the QS has been voted on, they are voting for the amendments first (though none will get up and the QS will).

On a brighter note, we're likely to see fewer controversial polices because they'll never pass.

It'll take more than a strike. But it's interesting to see how many discussions on the state of play happen to mention some aspect of the possibility of civil disorder...

For the Tories to make headway, they're going to need to run a three-line whip on every single vote on anything they want the House to pass. Tory backbenchers don't like three-line whips. They don't like being told what to do.

It'd be deliciously ironic if even a partially-successful public services strike brought them down, considering the massive effort by the Tories and their new Labour ideological bed-fellows to erase striking as a lawful option.

Correct - the QS is Thursday, or possibly Friday.
But today was quite simply an epic clusterfuck for the Tories. Truly horrendous

They're careening from clusterfuck to clusterfuck. It'd be beautiful to watch, if the implications weren't so harmful for ordinary people.

Yeah, they'll no doubt try and get as much through statutory instruments as possible to avoid too many votes. They will salt the fields if they can.
We're due a death or two in Tory-held seats 
Almost all the by-elections in the last Parliament were in Labour-held ones.
There must surely be the odd Tory MP who'll be incompetent enough to croak soon ....

It's quite annoying to me how many people remember the treasury note left by Brown's team ("there's no money left"), but don't recall how Major's people, from '94 on, when it became apparent they were going to get a hiding in '97, started salting the fields.
