Labour's Brexit problem...

- Abstain on a deal: looks like they have no position on the most important issue in decades, slightly increased no-deal risk.

- Vote against: implicit endorsement of no-deal (no third option on offer).

- Vote for: smears them in Brexit blood too.

Bear in mind that there would only be 2 things on offer in this situation: *the* deal, or no-deal.

There's no "amended deal", nor any prospect of one. If Parliament gets a vote at all (unclear) it will be on the thing the EU signed off on. We can't unilaterally change a treaty!

Look, I hate hate hate that the situation has devolved into choosing the lesser of two quite evil evils.

But that's reality.

Remainers have accused Leavers of ignoring reality for years when it comes to Brexit.

We can't fall into the same trap!
