Last night the government was defeated by 230 votes, the largest defeat in the history of our democracy. The first government to be defeated by more than 200 votes. And indeed the government itself could barely muster more than 200 votes. Last week, they lost a vote on the finance bill. That's what's called supply. Yesterday, they lost a vote for the biggest margin ever. That's what regarded as confidence. By any convention of this house, by any precedence, loss of confidence and supply should mean they do the right thing. And resigned. Yeah. Mr. Speaker, the prime minister has consisitently claimed that her deal, which has now been decisively rejected, was good for Britain workers and businesses. If she is so confident of that. If she genuinely believes it, she should have nothing to fear from going to the people and letting them decide. Under the Order of The House of today, I am now required to put the question. The question is that this house has no confidence in her majesty's government. As many as are of that opinion Then say aye. Aye. Of the country, no. No. [ UNKNOWN ], Clear the lobby. [ APPLAUSE ] Order, order. [ INAUDIBLE ] The ayes to the right, 306. The noes to the left, 325. [ APPLAUSE ] [ INAUDIBLE ] The Ayes to the right 306, the Nos to the left 325. So the Nos have it, the Nos have it, on law.
