A dozen Labour MP’s and even as many as 100 Tory rebels will not come close to inflicting a defeat on the government. The problem for Boris is that when he has to rely on opposition support the stench of rot and a loss of grip creeps in. As a Tory grandee is reported to have said: “A government that relies on opposition support is not likely to be the government for very long” Even in these exceptional times I think there is some force in that.Are you still completely sure about that? Only take a dozen or so Labour MPs to defy the whip (if applied) and it would be squeaky bum time for Johnson & Co.

I'm now expecting a last-minute face saving u-turn even more.
