All I know is that when I get to work today and talk to my more right wing colleagues, thanks to a failed vote of no confidence they can now say to me that "well she did win the vote of no confidence, she is in control". As opposed to the only story being her defeat on the brexit vote.
I also fundamentally disagree with the subsequent comments on Corbyn's stance to the second referendum, but anyway

Will those same colleagues ackowledge the duplicity of the ERG
who recently forced a vote on May's continued leadership? -

Ok. But with all due respect that’s not actually at all important.
What would you have been saying about Corbyn if he hadn’t even bothered to call the no confidence vote - after that monumental defeat?
Like may’s deal. It is a stepping stone ... something that needs doing during a process.

Votes of confidence are not that important - unless you say you want an election but then don't call one. I'm sure the right wing press wouldn't have had any fun with that. No one expected May to lose. After all she won the confidence of her own party only a few weeks ago and even the MPs who voted against her then made it clear they wouldn't vote against their own party later on.
Her defeat over Brexit far outweighs her victory today.
