No irony intended, I assume

My QC recommends the Oude Joris Max 120 Contractor Payment Scheme.

Good grief. A QC is still a QC, and presumably a better judge of whether a vote is meaningful than a random person on a contractor’s forum.

Say no more, Jolyon is a political activist more than a QC.

At least one QC thinks it’s meaningful.

Ooo, good idea. Another "meaningful" vote. The Executive taking back control.

Boy George is such a wag. He must be having a whale of a time over all this, having had his bottom thoroughly smacked by Theresa before being summarily dismissed.

Indeed

I like Osborne's comment:

the Tories had offered Labour an “open goal” by making no customs union a red line and Corbyn had “just kicked the ball into the back of it”.

Remainers seem to be terribly “agitated” about the CU.

I predict that it will take them decades to get over it. They’re the new insurgents, the new Peter Bones.

Keep plugging at it BB; a few more decades and you might get another referendum

[BlasterBates]

Oh dear,

Looks like the same MP's who voted down the government in October will all be voting on an amendment for a customs union.

Liam Fox to make desperate speech to thwart remoaners

senior Tory backbencher Sarah Wollaston told BBC2’s Newsnight that those opposing a customs union did not have the numbers in parliament to win the day, adding: “The simple reality is this. There isn’t a parliamentary majority for a hard Brexit.”

oh dear,
oh deary me

[jamesbrown]

It’ll be a “European traded goods area”, not ‘a’ customs union.

Divide and conquer. That’ll pick-off a few rebels, no doubt.

EU rejects May's plan and embraces Corbyn

Business bodies throw support behind Corbyn’s calls to keep customs union after Brexit

May under pressure.

It’ll be a “European traded goods area”, not ‘a’ customs union. Glad that the away day at Chequers cleared all that up.

Here's the leftwing view of Corbyn cake:
