Is it the case that if Corbyn wins the debate then a vote will be forced?

Yes, and the mace is sliced up and everyone gets a piece each in some cake.

Even if his debate is forced down, chops to him.  He had to try.  But he should have done it there and then when May was on the despatch.

Heseltine - King of Mace Grabbing

QuoteAs soon as the whips announced that a Government majority had been achieved by 304 votes to 303, Labour MPs stood up and began to sing The Red Flag.

As they reached the words "We'll keep the red flag flying here," Mr Michael Heseltine, Tory spokesman at the conclusion of the debate, jumped up and seized the mace from its rack beneath the Speaker's Chair. As he waved it aggressively towards the Labour Benches, his Shadow Cabinet colleague Mr James Prior wrested it from his hands and replaced it in its rack the wrong way round.

My understanding is that the best they can get is a censure.

I wish the mace grabber had held it aloft, shouted 'by the lack of power of Mayskull', stuffed the mace up his arse and stumped round the chamber neighing like a horse.  It would have been worth his 5 day suspension to see that.

Was Heseltine a 'good' Tory I can't remember?  I seem to recall him getting sacked because he kept calling out Thatcher on shit.

Can't believe Legend Gary grabbed the mace! That's the one thing you don't do. Everyone knows you don't grab the mace. What a donut!

QuoteAgainst an unprecedented background of fisticuffs, the singing of the Red Flag and a Conservative attempt to run away with the mace, the Government sneaked home to an unprecedented victory of one vote in its battle to overrule an attempt to destroy its nationalisation plans for the shipbuilding industry.

Whatever became of the shipbuilding industry?  You never hear of it these days, do you.  A whole industry of that.

Mace? No, no, oh dear me, no. Nutmeg, maybe. Cinnamon. Not mace.

I was once part of a ceremony that involved two maces and a sword.

QuoteHeseltine favoured privatisation of state owned industries, a novel idea in 1979 as the Conservatives were initially only proposing to denationalise the industries nationalised by Labour in the 1970s

Best bit about the mace, is that the Queen calls the Speaker every day Parliament is in session and asks, "Where is the mace?" to which the Speaker replies, "The mace is in place." Dr. Seuss does democracy...

As far as mace grabs go that was less exciting than I was hoping.

I liked it when everyone around him was shocked and yelled "watch out he's got a shoot-er"

We're fast reaching the point of this constitutional crisis where the Queen is obliged to wrestle the prime minister and take over until a new government can be formed.

The best bit was when the little grey haired woman tried to take it away from him and he twatted her with it, then held it aloft triumphantly as he stood over her broken body.

How long till her Maj steps in?

Not long.  It'll cut to her without warning, as well; her pyjamas will be half on and she'll be rushing a poached egg.

Power should clearly have passed down though the Lawson family instead, more negotiating power than May standing on the white cliffs in tartan suit and a nappy.
