No irony
Could’ve sworn the PM said the deal was “oven ready.”
IDS “The chief negotiator is fine. All I would say is behind them you need people who are looking through absolutely everything with an understanding of what to look for,” like a decent PM inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

“We are up against the EU and the EU has been negotiating trade deals for 40 years. So we need to make sure we draw upon the talents of anybody that has skills in this area”
It wasn’t us who said it was the easiest deal in history. That was him and them.

That’s why you READ the WA before signing it.
The PM will have had redlines versions with Article by Article explanations. I’m afraid a 2-4 page note on A4 IN BIG LETTERS WITH PICTURES just won’t do.
That is why you DON’T rush it through Parliament on an accelerated timetable

That is why you DON’T hold a GE just when MPs need the time to go through what they are voting through. But they HAD time. They took weeks off over Xmas.
That is why you have Select Committees. To help you all scrutinise the implications of what is being agreed.

That is why you set time aside to go through it with lawyers and EU experts. So you can say “What does Article 5(3) of the NI protocol,really mean? Lay it out in words of one syllable. What does Regulation 952/2013 mean we will have to do?
What? We are committing to the Union Customs Code? How big is that? What will it mean?
2000 pages? Maybe we need more time to think through what that will mean in terms of nuts and bolts”.
After all. Plenty of people were waving and pointing.

But Johnson has to have his way. Crow and crow again about “Getting Brexit Done”. “Oven Ready Deal”. “It’s a great deal”.

What about all those lawyers on the Toey benches?
Why weren’t they leaping up and down saying “Prime Minister. We really should not be rushing this through. It really does need discussion and scrutiny. Maybe we should think again”.
Where were they? Yes. My MP Alex Chalk.

He got shot of all those who might be careful and speak truth to power.
He chose the ones who would (as Chalk did) stand up and ask the questions he wanted to answer. Nothing challenging.
And he rushed it through. No shilly shallying. We’re getting it done.

What he really should have said is
