How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

Johnson's being reported as going to vote against the deal.

Doubt it. That would involve actually working.

Truss as well

Truss, Johnson, DUP and ERG voting against something indicates it's worth voting for.

Opposition parties should be mischievous and agree to abstain so as to highlight the depth of the division within the Conservatives.

Well, he's in the building anyway, and it will disrupt his committee hearing...

It wouldn't be a huge surprise if he doesn't bother and lets others take the heat again.

They've voted against everything other than Johnson's fudged deal - which he's subsequently said he knew was awful.

It's an interesting position to be against everything except something that doesn't work. I wonder what they are actually 'for'.

Meaningless gesture in terms of NI - This is all about "getting at" Sunak. It will pass anyway with Labour votes if needs be. If Sunak had any bollocks and having been wounded by relying on Opposition votes he should remove the Whip from anyone who votes against him - he would still have a working majority anyway but cast the rebels out into the cold - deprive them of any Party support

Steve Baker just made me laugh. In complete denial Labour will pass the vote for Sunak on BBC.
