The Liberals’ spill vote has been held and Honest History’s Tweet of yesterday was remarkably accurate. At approximately 10 am yesterday this Tweet came from @honesthistory1:

In the event, there were 39 votes for the spill. Our prediction was based on consideration of the number of marginal seat holders, some knowledge of previous spills and a few other ingredients.
