Another defence of the PM's Brexit deal from @HenryNewman - who is certainly putting in the effort most of the PM's Cabinet colleagues are not to back the deal - but one paragraph should be at the heart of Brexit discussions
This paragraph attacks Norway plus on the grounds of being unsustainable as quasi EU members without a say - but I'd suggest it also applies to the PM's deal, Labour's plan, and is actually least accurate about the Norway option 
In theory the PM's deal leaves the future relationship relatively open, but in practice it is a continuing close relationship with the EU, given the backstop and the general view that technology solutions are nowhere close to removing this.
Apart form no-deal or remain, the other choices are close relationship without admitting that's what's happening, meaning no formal say, or closer relationship and admit it, meaning Freedom of Movement and some formal say
Let us end positively, surely @HenryNewman must be rewarded for being one of the few to actually back the Prime Minister (seriously, it isn't an easy job when her colleagues keep undermining her). Arise Lord Newman or Frognal & Fitzjohns?
