"So,.... how does that square with your comments tonight ?"
I believe the High Court ruling was correct, Mikey. What should have been done was that the referendum legislation should have framed to make the vote binding on the government and should have legislated for withdrawal. But it didn't so we are where we are.
But the votes of 33m people are far more important than the musings of a few hundred assorted time servers, crooks and charlatans. Whatever they mumble over when they grace the Chamber between gin and tonics is irrelevant. They must simply find a way to implement the referendum result and so negate the negligence (or ineptitude or even perhaps deliberate malice, who knows) of the previous Executive.

Mrs May should be thanking Labour today.
Yesterdays vote only came about because it was an Opposition Day Motion, and Mrs May comfortably got the OK from the HOC.
MPs backed this by 461 votes to 89 - a margin of 372.
Mrs May doesn't have a majority of 372, or anywhere remotely near it, so I hope she is thanking Labour today !
We can now move forward to 31st March 2017.

Exactly so, but if the Government had framed the referendum in that proper manner it would have given credence to the possibility of a 'leave' result, the last thing DC wanted.

I think the 51 SNP MPs need not worry -- fairly sure that same is true of Caroline Lucas, the 5 Lib Dems, the three from PC, the ones in Northern Ireland, etc etc.
Obviously it stands to reason that the majority vote should come out in the end in favour of Brexit, to reflect the referendum result, but 48% is still a lot of people and MPs ought to be representing at least some of them from time to time.
