I actually think Corbyn has played this clever mate. By letting the WA pass but delaying the programme this means it will require a third reading by which point it will have been amended into oblivion by all and sundry. Labour can now go to the electorate and pitch a soft Brexit from them...... or bojo's deal v remain.
Labour leave MPs can go back to their seats and say 'we didn't try to stop it' It holds the party together as they head towards a GE. It's the smart move.
Meanwhile when the detail of this deal is gone over by some of the sharper minds in the house - I'm looking at the likes of grieve,benn,starmer etc it won't stand up to scrutiny.
BOJO has had another severe boot in the stones today.
