Yes the Norway Deal would imply a degree of freedom of movement, but there was nothing in the wording of the referendum about stopping that. It would deliver on leaving Brexit, which was all that was on that ballot paper.

The way that freedom of movement was interpreted within the UK was significantly different from the way it is interpreted in many countries in the EU and also in Norway Iceland and Switzerland, and there is plenty of scope for a version that would be less open to abuse, but that would avoid the drastic devaluation of British passports that is looming.

We're all just spectators in this farce, but I suspect that there is more chance of a majority in the Commons for this deal than for any other.
