Or are you suggesting that if Labour voted against there would have been lots of Conservative voters suddenly deciding to switch across to Labour?
And then Labour are responsible for no deal and the agony that comes with it. Tres Bon.

I was thinking more about Tory voters than Tory MPs, but it was definitely a rock and a hard place with no easy move.
But to interpret the Labour approach as being Tory enablers? Sorry, I don’t buy that - it’s been a Tory shitshow from the start, though the middle and to the end and implying otherwise let’s them off the hook

Although I’d have thought that abstaining or a free vote would have been better (and even then it would have been spun as either fence sitting or disunity), it was passing whatever Labour did.

There’s no easy answers but Tory enablers doesn’t cover it, more about the above with many thinking “Boris is doing a good job in difficult circumstances” and/or he’s a canny negotiator who has given the EU a bloody nose (and even as the latter unravels, it won’t be down to Brave Boris, oh no)
