That's fair enough this Govt isn't up to much.
But we also need an opposition looking like its able to form a govt

No just a simple case of Tory and DUP MPs wanting to be sure of keeping their jobs, wouldn't have mattered who the leader was.

I would have said it was a bit of both, plus the thought of all the unrest and Brexit problems that would ensue if Corbyn had won.

Indeed, it wasn't a no confidence vote in the PM, but in HMG. If JC had proposed the former he might have had more joy, but that would've opened a can of worms and he may have ended up opposing someone less easy to ridicule (although there are many ridiculous heirs presumptive). He knew he wouldn't win the NCV, but probably thought he had to do something, a bit like kicking the cat after it's thrown up on the new carpet. (No animals were harmed in the making of this simile.)

I must confess that when watching Diane Abbott on Question Time on Thursday I did wonder for a fleeting moment whether James Watson might have been on to something.

There's no doubt we owe Watson a huge debt, and there can have been no war injury to one man that has benefited humankind to such a degree, as I doubt without him we would ever have heard of Sherlock Holmes.
