"The risk, however, must be that with so much to debate and a limited time to do it in we will lose sight of the wood for the trees. Both MPs and ministers are going to have to focus on the key issues if the necessary changes are to be made to improve the Bill."

Exactly the point, stop whining and show some positivity any more obstructions and the government will have no alternative than to walk away. The 75% of MPs with their eyes on the EU trough are trying to sabotage the democratic will of the electorate.

It is the obstructionists in parliament and in the country who have delayed the progress towards Brexit.

IMO the Union has about five years before it completely disintegrates, we should be moving fast to get the new trading regime up and running rather than be delayed by self serving MPs and deranged ideologues.
