He said work was "unlikely" to table no-confidence votes in the Government , until after the 17. In October, the EU summit.

Mr Johnson urges you to vote for a General election, but they say they will not do so until a no-deal-UK EU outlet is excluded and the follow you do not trust, Mr Johnson, The Law , is for an extension in October EU summit.
The clock is a deal is still possible with the EU and the Government will from the fresh proposals in the next few days.
'Rules of the game'Mr McDonnell said the 21 former Tory rebels would "obviously" want to what, Mr. Johnson gets on the EU summit before deciding whether to back a no-confidence motion.
He said work was Sedwill, the search for a meeting with the chef de Cabinet to Sir Mark, to try to determine what would happen if the Government was defeated, but Mr. Johnson is still trying to "squat" in No 10, until to the UK from the EU.
"We are suggesting that we meet with the head of Cabinet only, at least, get the game Rules sorted," he told reporters in Westminster.
