I have to agree with you Steve on all points. This politicking by Labour, Lib Dems and Ken Clarke is just sour grapes by Neo-cons. The Lib Dems have sold there principals out to big business.
Bemoaning is destructive to the negotiations, because it empowers the EU negotiators before negotiations begin. The government has to open its negotiations in an extreme position as does the EU so concessions can be later exchanged.
The second point is, if the results of the negations are to be voted on by Parliament what does that mean.
They would have to accept them. If they do not accept them they would have to enter further negations on terms that would mean the UK would have to make greater concessions for the new EU concessions Parliament requires.
In a game of cards, you do not show your cards during the game.
