Also, what does being in a knightly order gets you? A pass into their clubhouse for free tea and cookie? A bus discount?

So is the refusal to allow the vote to come back a third time an unusual precedent, or would it have happened to any other bill as well, except nobody would have cared much?

The unusual part is that it came back at all. If any other bill had been defeated this significantly, it would have been dead.

In ye olde times (i.e. 2010) a government that lost on a manifesto promise like this would have fallen the first time, let alone having a chance to repeat it

If it's an inane trivial bill the government shrugs its shoulders and moves on.

So this deal basically just says the UK agrees to whatever standards these countries impose on imports, does not cover services, capital, non-tariff barriers. https://twitter.com/stigeidi/status/1107775152593534984
