Even some of the anti-Corbynites in the party reported the bill as being ill timed. It was never going to pass and could only raise Umunna's profile and hurt Labour. The Labour amendment was asking for the same things in different words (it both kept the door open for access, and prevented doors from closing to it). Once it becomes clear via negotiations that the benefits it called for can't be maintained without access discussions can move onto other arrangements. As Watson said, this forced a vote on something too early.
