1) a competent opposition would have forced the hand of the Tory Gov. 18 months ago by saying "no, we won't trigger Article 50 until we see a #Brexit plan"
Even if they'd lost the vote, they'd have the high ground
They'd now be making political capital with Leavers & Remainers

2) a competent opposition would now be saying "we knew the Tories had no plan, and now we are on a 2 year timescale, and time is running out - what a shambles"
An election winning #Brexit neutral position which makes Brexit about Tory incompetence & recklessness
Unfortunately..

3) this opposition can't attack the Tories for triggering A50 with no plan, because Labour went along with it
Not only did they allow the "overwhelming vote for A50" line to surface, they have nowhere to go in attacking the Government, because they voted for A50 with no plan too

4) just another example of what happens when you mix incompetence Leadership with #Brexit sympathies, you start with enabling Tories & end up unable to criticize actions you enabled.
5) imagine the polls now if Corbyn was on TV saying "we knew the Tories had no plan for #Brexit yet they recklessly started the 2 year A50 clock anyway, we voted against this but couldn't stop Tory recklessness"
A definite vote winner on all sides
Shame really/
