I sure hope the EU hasn't given in to the DUP.

But since May won't get anything through parliament, it's probably a moot point.

My expectation is that everyone is going to suddenly fall into line and she'll get it through.

Corbyn wants Brexit to happen he’ll whip Labour into passing it.

I mean they can disobey the whip.

He should have the self awareness that trying that could result in Labour collapsing like the LibDems did.

Labour's position is to vote against the Chequer's agreement.

This all seems to be entirely moot, given that there is a slim chance of this deal getting through parliament - assuming it’s anything like it’s expected to be.

What a colossal waste of time.
