Opposition parties will hope to exploit the failure of over 200 Tory MPs to condemn Boris Johnson.
A sense from MP after MP — over five hours of debate — that Boris Johnson's actions and his words had managed to debase them all: debase politicians, debate politics, debase democracy.
But it is mighty useful for opposition parties to be able to directly label individual Conservative MPs on how they chose to vote and whether they chose to vote. But that means more than 200 Tory MPs — the prime minister, the deputy prime minister, the home secretary and the foreign secretary among them — did not vote at all.
Already Labour and the Liberal Democrats are branding the prime minister as "weak", who has gone out of his way in the last few days to swerve questions about it all by a country mile.It was also a tool to needle away at the conflict many Conservative MPs wrestle with about Boris Johnson: his role in winning the last election, perhaps helping them win their seat. His role in delivering Brexit.
