That sums the last couple of years up.

C4 News using all four of their main anchors tonight. Not very often you see that from any news broadcaster - even at elections.

Andrew Neil's interview put years on Matt Hancock Very Happy

He looked very shook up once he got to C4 News.

Given the margin of defeat I'm not so sure the no confidence vote is clear cut either. Think it only takes half a dozen Tories to rebel.

Though it has been made clear that such rebellions would be almost certain career suicide.

There is a tweet just given from Jean Claude Juncker on the NC/World push back graphics.

He says he regrets the outcome of tonight's vote in the HoC. More talks is unlikely now with TM as time is running out from JCJ's word.

I daresay they've been enjoying themselves too. Jon Snow seems to be revelling in the ridiculousness of the situation; and Krishnan is in the lobby and appears to have a researcher who's grabbing MPs as they pass and sticking them in front of the camera.

Who knows at the moment. The country is so bonkers at the moment anything could happen. Well, apart from the Lib Dems winning of course. We're in a mess but we haven't completely lost our marbles. Very Happy

Lol, I’m guessing that space was reserved for Corbyn to confirm Labour’s policy on Brexit. Laughing

Jon Snow was excellent in holding Labour MP Richard Burgon to account for the disgraceful way he was speaking to the Lib Dens Jo Swinson.

It’s doomed Brexit that is, it’s a monumental defeat the pm severely hampered and weakened, she’s literally hanging on now and she’s only there due to the bonkersness of the entire situation.

Noticed the feed to the EBU was GBITV does that mean ITV produce the main feed from Parliament?

Correct long titles used by the bbc tonight, needs a wide shot though.

But then whatever happens I think after the current clusterfudge the Tory Party are doomed so they might think they've nothing to lose

No Huw on the Ten then, or was Clive in the studio whilst Huw will be at Westminster?
