OK
The prorogation of Parliament means that the only option now left with time to be effective is actually a no-confidence vote. And that's not going to happen if Jezza is going to lead the united opposition to a hard Brexit; it will only happen if someone like Ken Clarke or Harriet Harman can lead a cross-party government of national unity. Jezza ain't the man to do that.
But, at a guess, Seamus will never allow him to see that fact.
Now it becomes obvious how Dominic has played his hand, and he is relying, perfectly properly IMHO, that Seamus will constrain Jezza, and any cross-party co-operation in opposition to Boris's version of Brexit will necessarily fail.
But maybe, just maybe, Dominic will be wrong. Jezza was always a Bennite Brexiter. I guess he didn't consider that when cut adrift from the EU that we would merely end up a twitching carcase for the vulture capitalists to pick-over. I'm sure Seamus can prevent anyone with such an opinion actually speaking to Jezza.
Gods, we are so stuffed. So very stuffed.
