It's not accidental. Less opportunity for scrutiny makes it easier for the UK government to sell it as a win. Same as 14 months ago when we got a similar amount of grandstanding about 'no deal' being a realistic option, followed by an 'oven ready deal' and transition arrangement that saw so little scrutiny the government itself decided it was suboptimal several months and one 'we got a deal' election later. And a quarter of zero economic growth before COVID, because uncertainty is almost as unhelpful to people who don't bullshit the public for a living as it's helpful to certain politicians.
