Boris Johnson no-confidence vote 'next week', says SNP MP Stewart Hosie
Mr Hosie said opposition parties were in discussions about the timing of a no-confidence vote amid concern that Mr Johnson may find a way of circumventing the so-called"Benn Bill" which requires him to seek an extension to the UK's departure date if no deal has been agreed.
Mr Hosie, a former SNP deputy leader, acknowledged that such a plan would need the agreement of opposition parties and Tory rebels in order to succeed.Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson has said Mr Corbyn is too divisive a figure to lead an"emergency government" Mr Hosie said:"If another name came forward that was acceptable to everybody, a Ken Clarke or Dominic Grieve-type figure, then self-evidently that would be a good thing to do." he said.
If the government loses the vote, MPs have 14 days to express their support for an alternative government.
