I wonder why Tories didn't go for the non-aggression pact offered by Labour (to just pass non-controversial bills while the conference is on). They must have known they'd lose today.
Think the media would go fucking nuts if some sort of anti-Brexit bill passes while the Tories are away at a conference - probably put out worse headlines than "enemies of the people". Also it would be easy for the Tories to claim the Remoaners are playing dirty to justify their own horrible tactics like prorogation.
I think the opposition would be wise to push through a bunch of non-controversial bills (e.g. domestic violence, animal abuse bills) and say something like "this is the kind of sensible politics/compromise that happens when the Tories aren't involved".
