Boris Johnson loses first vote of his Premiership 328-301
By a majority of 27, Boris Johnson has lost his first vote in Parliament. He’s quite the record-breaker:
Government loses. Johnson the first PM to lose his first Commons vote since Roseberry in 1894.

The @LibDems, along with a majority of MPs in the House on Commons, have voted to take control of the order paper tomorrow. We look forward to voting for cross-party legislation to stop Boris Johnson’s plans for a No Deal exit on October 31st in their tracks. https://t.co/c8az63hD2q

Credit to Boris Johnson. He's managed in six weeks to reach the point of a disintegrating party and lost majority it usually takes a decade to achieve.
