Exactly this. 1/ Any FTA vote is not binding due to the stunning stupidity of MPs giving away its powers under the GRAGS Act last October.
2/ And by being too scared to be anything other than passive on Brexit this last year a vote FOR the deal is a signal of its acceptability.

3/. Any FTA that would be remotely acceptable to Johnson will lead to a world of disruption and pain. Better than No Deal on tariffs and licences. Sure. But still terrible disruption, expense, businesses going under. All the more so without a long implementation period
4/. And Starmer have barely signalled any resistance. Let alone committed resistance. Not even to press for an extension. So - sure- a vote for the deal will come back to haunt them because the disruption, costs & losses will be bad - and they went along all the way.
“Well...you didn’t care enough to complain-you even voted for it, Mr Starmer. You are a lawyer. You must have known this would be the outcome”.
Mind you, it is so late in the day now I think the Gov will be out of the time required under the CRAGS Act to lay the resolution.

I think there’s supposed to be 21day sitting period
