To hilarity from the other side and scorn from the media, Jeremy Corbyn used today's Prime Minister's Questions to ask about poverty in general and Universal Credit in particular.
But let's see how badly that plays among people who know what either of them is.
Here's the full roll of honour-all 103 Tory MPs voting against the deal. The Tory Right is flexing its muscles now.

Who cares? All non-Labour MPs were going to vote against it, so there didn't need to be any Conservative rebels at all. Half of those whom there will be, will be Remainers. And in total, there won't be anything like 103. Don't be silly. But the main point is that, since all non-Labour MPs were going to vote against it, there didn't need to be any Conservative rebels at all. There could still be none, and the Government would still lose. "The Tory Right", in 2018, matters less than the SDP.
