Labour should support that just because it'll force Bojo to vote down a deal

All other MP's manage to discuss it as a UK wide issue, including a number of SNP MP's.

Perhaps he needs a reminder that the Scots voted to remain in the UK, thus, this is a UK issue.
Im not sure why im biting and bothering to indulge you, but;

Firstly, the Scottish voted against independence just a few years ago, with a massive factor of that being that only by remaining as part of the UK could they remain in the EU.

Secondly, obviously the other (English) MPs are referring to it as a UK-wide issue because it sounds better for them to do so, as it avoids the awkward questions of Scotland and Northern Island. But you already knew this, you are just being deliberately obtuse - consider a career in politics.

Only the official leader of the opposition can call a VoNC. Not sure if the government can also do so though.
Swinson tabled one though it just didn't go anywhere as it wasn't supported.

A UK commitment to indemnify the EU against single market infractions is among a set of alternative proposals to replace the Irish border backstop.

The plan, tabled by the Ulster Unionist Party, would also see the creation of a new offence in British law for knowingly transporting non-compliant goods to the EU.

The party has also proposed the establishment of a new cross-border body, similar to those already created by the Belfast Agreement, to monitor and regulate trade across the frontier.

This government is based entirely around the theory that Dominic Cummings is clever.

Not a revelation, just a thing worth remembering.
A petty bureaucrat without a democratic mandate. The house of clowns has opened the doors to every arsehole and charlatan to rip it apart and to be hailed a genius.

Despicable character.

I'm pretty sure that Swinson got mad at Corbyn calling him a coward etc as she couldn't table one and he refused to.

BJ needs to appoint Woody as his strategist. He'd be 'preparing bids/bills' forever and the supporters would just take it on the chin!

Sunday Times journalist:
Tory chiefs say there are 16 Conservative rebels tonight. They will all be stripped of the whip this evening

Violence isn't necessary. Make him wear a tracksuit and trainers for a day, maybe a baseball cap, too. That would probably be his worst nightmare.
Haha, imagine having him on one of those "houseswap" type programs where he lives on benefits for a month in an estate. Would be fantastic entertainment to watch.

Single breasted suit would probably be enough to shame him for life.

After Johnson's abject, panicky failure earlier on, perhaps JRM is trying to appear as if his side are relaxed and untroubled.

JRM is doing a good job of drawing the fire away from Boris, witness the recent posts on here as an example of his success. They will circle the wagons later no doubt!
