Why Vince highlighted the Labour/Tory Brexit love-in

Vince had a question to the Prime Minister on Wednesday. He was jeered at almost as soon as he stood up - a good sign that he is so relevant that people think they have to do that.

What did he choose to ask her on this set piece occasion?

"The Prime Minister and the Labour Leader of the Opposition both agree that we should leave the single market and leave the European Union customs union, and that the public should not have a final say on the Brexit deal, so will the Prime Minister dispense with our tradition of party political point scoring and, in the spirit that I am setting, publicly thank the leadership of the Labour party for its help and support in making Brexit happen?"

So why was he stirring that particular pot?

Well, it's kind of obvious if you are fighting a parliamentary by-election a few miles down the road where Labour in theory has a large majority that you showcase their massive weakness in this pro-Remain seat as often as possible. At every possible moment, you highlight how Jeremy Corbyn is giving the Tories a free ride.
