Any referendum making such a promise should only be run as binding. Forcing every MP to support his comment has led us down this disastrous path.

And by making it advisory removed the courts power to quash what they described as dishonest and illegal, good work Dave

They will get their comeuppence at the general election, whenever they have the guts to vote for one.
It will be in the country's interests to vote for the Withdrawal Bill now, unfettered by those stupid amendments designed only to see off Brexit altogether. It will serve them right if the EU failed to grant an extension, wouldn't it?

The labour manifesto that the country rejected, ludicrous to suggest they should be bound by a manifesto the country didn't want

The Withdrawal Bill, if eventually enacted, will transfer all EU employment legislation into UK law. You seem to forget that the UK has been ahead of the game when it comes to employment rights. Particularly under a Conservative Government.

I don't believe it is going to be part of the law, is going to be something we aspire to adhere to iirc, it could have been law but was removed from that section for some reason, not sure why the government would do that, it's not like they have people that form part of it who have described British workers as "among the most lazy and feckless in the world", oh wait they do and they even went as far as to write that in a book

More time was spent discussing the 19 animals used in the circus than on this, speaks volumes imo...
