mr russell, ian blackford told your conference yesterday that the snp have prepared a confidence motioncan't advance that motion. well, you can't advance that motion. well, you can't advance that motion. well, you can always table a confidence motion and encourage people to vote for it. it is the role of labour to do that. well, no, it is the role of any opposition party, according to the rules of the house of commons. they are entitled to do it. the labour advantages, they get it taken automatically, whereas other opposition parties don't. we are the second largest opposition party. what a general election is the right thing at this time. we need to secure the fact that there would not bea no secure the fact that there would not be a no deal and the legislation exists for that, and it is astonishing that borisjohnson has insisted that the queen read out the date of leaving, when, if there is no deal, that date would be illegal. and once that is secured in terms of their not being a departure under a no deal, there could be a general election. i hope labour and the liberal democrats, an
