The Exiting the EU Commons Select Committee, chaired by the Labour MP Hilary Benn, has issued what it says are the 15 tests against which any Brexit deal must be measured.

The Brexit Committee of 21 MPs, 14 of whom are as far as I can see, Remain minded, has issued a report containing 15 tests which the Chair of the Committee, Hilary Benn, says MUST be the benchmark to use when evaluating any Brexit deal the government agrees with Brussels.

The committee has many ardent Remainers on it, who are partly counterbalanced by Brexiteers such as Jacob Rees-Mogg, Christopher Chope, Peter Bone and John Whittingdale.

A huge point to note here though, is that committees such as this one are expected to agree a unanimous consensus, so that any reports and recommendations it comes up with, carries full cross-party political weight.

But this one, like the committee's previous report on extending the negotiation and transition periods, does not come with unanimity - as the Brexiteers opposed it.

Tory MP and Brexiteer, Jacob Rees-Mogg, is member of that committee and he said:

“The High Priests of Remain have pushed through another report that seeks to overturn the referendum result by stealth.

“Select committee reports are only of any value when unanimous, divided ones have no effect.”

Now, as far as I can see, if the document containing these 15 tests (The Future UK-EU Relationship) was a stick of seaside rock, it would have the word REMAIN in huge letters running right through it.

All they seem to have done is take anything a Leave politician has ever said that suits their Remain agenda, gold plated it (in the normal way that the UK responds to all things EU) and pushed it out for acceptance.

And the last of the fifteen tests that talks about ".... agreeing reciprocal access to waters and a fairer allocation of fishing opportunities for the UK fishing industry." Well, words fail me.

As I said on my website. What is it about Remain supporters that they hate fish and the UK fishing community so much?

As these so-called 'tests' are so Remain biassed, I thought I'd finish the job off for them and insert the ones they forgot to put in - or shied away from including. I've also appended some helpful administrative notes for them.

Now, as they give 15 Brexit tests and 20 is a far catchier number, here are the five extra tests I think they would love to see included, all in the spirit of co-operation and helpfulness you understand!
