The continuing inability of this government to propose anything where they can say 'We believe this is accordance with everything we signed up to in December' is a serious matter. Any one of us could come up with a dozen proposals in the next hour which do not meet what was previously agreed. Only things we genuinely believe do fully meet that agreement are worth even showing the EU.
