1/8 Lets take a look at what has happened in the last 48hrs
@jeremycorbyn front bench has proposed a "new" Single Market for the UK to access the EU, you know, full access, frictionless boarders no tariffs
This is nothing more than cakeisum, cherry picking the EU won't allow

2/8 This is instead of supporting the x15 Lords amendments.
Yes, this means Labour will be abstaining from voting on those, possible 3 line whip

3/8 There are enough Tory rebels to offset the DUP !
The Tory rebels will vote for the x15 Lords amendments but only if they know Labour has their back
But it is also well known they wont vote for a @jeremycorbyn amendment, JC knows this very well.

4/8 So this means @jeremycorbyn is effectively sabotaging the x15 Lords amendments.
Why would he do such a thing?

5/8 Well its quite simple really.
If a good chunk of these amendments passed would straight blast past brexitters red lines, most likely leading to May's government collapsing, possibly triggering a general election.

6/8 But that's a good thing right?
Well @jeremycorbyn wants brexit to happen, but is trying unsuccessfully to keep labour hands clean for a post brexit general election.

7/8 So to sum up @jeremycorbyn has proposed a "new" Single Market he knows the EU will reject.
He also knows Tory rebels can't vote for it.
Will abstain from x15 Lords votes, and possible 3 line whip Labour
This gets @theresa_may off the hook to continue messing up Brexit

8/8 Lets hope the Lords vote for their 15 amendments again and send them straight back.
Will they?
I don't know.
I doubt it.

As predicted it's been reported that they won't rebel because labour doesn't have their back
