You forgot to mention that he represents North Cambridgeshire so is basically the chosen one for the Fen-Dwellers.
I would be checking for webbing, extra fingers and the ability to restrain the drool when opening his mouth to parrot āstrong and stableā.
EDIT: Kwasi Kwarteng has been made a parliamentary under secretary. Breathing regularly now appears to be necessary and sufficient skill set for a ministerial position.

I would so love to take a cricket bat to the face of Mark Francois.
Quick question
What would you do if you were Corbyn?

Corbyn is doing exactly what he needs to do - nothing.
While the tories implode in a frenzy of Gammon-faced hatred and total incompetence, all Jezza has to do is keep his trap shut, and he looks like Winston Churchill by comparison.

I think that he is in the same place as May - he has an irreconcilable position.
He is anti EU, and wants us out, although his reasons are that he wants to be able to do more state aid and have less financial liberalism than the EU permits. However, his party, both popular and parliamentary, is not with him on this. Itās very split. He cannot bring himself to declare his position for fear of alienating half his party.
So he tries to navigate a fine line, never saying what he actually thinks so he doesnāt alienate the other side. Just like May.
This has the double disadvantage of looking exactly the same as the Tories - having a fantasy of cake and eating it - but also undermines his main strength, which is being seen as having integrity and being a decent bloke.
To answer the question you set, he needs to do two things. Firstly he needs to come up with a plan (both withdrawal and future relationship) that could work, and agrees with what he thinks. This could be a continued customs union outside the single market, or it could be remain. But it needs to be a reasonable effort and being plausible, and well-formed, and secondly they need to explain clearly the pros and cons and why they think this is the right system.
Clarity, and integrity. Thatās what is required here. Unfortunately, this is UK politics. Heās done a lot to change his party, but that would be a step too far, it seems.

Of course there can be, Ireland means we need to be in a permanent customs union, so Norway. Itās not a good choice, but it would work.
Historical boot to 'nads delivered.
Exactly, therefore no Brexit.
That isnāt what the people voted for 
Appreciating the sentiment, could I suggest instead using Andrew Bridgens face to smash Mark Francois face?
