Even though the Tories had a majority in the House, Labour (in general) did not oppose the issuing of article 50.

I really don't believe I am reading this. Are you telling us that whatever a government does is the fault of the opposition rather than of the ruling party? I always thought that the buck stopped with whoever was in power? If it is the other way round, how come our friend Stanron is not welcoming Corbyn's government? When it comes to pass everything that he does will be down to the Tory opposition!
