		</div><p>The Liberal Democrats and a “significant number” of Tories would support a no-confidence motion in the UK Government, according to former business secretary Vince Cable.</p>
<p>The ex-leader of the Liberal Democrats said the UK has been in a constitutional crisis “for quite a long time”.</p>
<p>Speaking on BBC’s Newsnight, Mr Cable said there would be wide support for an “emergency administration” to take over if British Prime Minister Boris Johnson loses a motion of no confidence.</p>
<p>Asked whether the UK is facing a constitutional crisis, Mr Cable said: <em>“I think we are already in one. We have been in one for quite a long time.”</em></p>
<p>He added: <em>“The extreme no-deal Brexit can be stopped. I think we need to look at it partly from a political question point of view.”</em></p>
<p>Mr Cable said some MPs would not be able to support a new Government led by Jeremy Corbyn, but that they may be able to support a “more broadly based group”.</p>
<p>He said Parliament would reject a no-deal Brexit because the “consequences are so dire”.</p>
<p>He said when no-deal is “staring MPs in the face” many would “get behind” an emergency administration.</p>
<p>Mr Cable added: <em>“We would certainly support a no confidence motion, and I think a significant number of Tories would do as well. And that is the way we are going to stop this.”</em></p>
<p>As it stands, under the latest extension to the Article 50 withdrawal process by the EU, Britain is due to leave on October 31.</p>
<p>If Mr Johnson is defeated in a no-confidence motion he would have 14 days, under the Fixed Term Parliaments Act, to win another vote of confidence or, if no other government could be formed, face a general election.</p>
