Ashley Fox: May’s deal. We will be dragged into the disaster of European Parliamentary elections if it doesn’t pass.

Ashley Fox: MPs must not bind May’s hands on Brexit next week

Ashley Fox: Spain should abandon its attempts to cleave Gibraltar from the UK

Pandering to nationalist sentiments didn’t save his socialists from a crushing electoral defeat. He should return to his previous course.

Ashley Fox: Meanwhile, the EU has been forced to bow to reality over immigration control

David Cameron’s intervention in 2015, at the height of the refugee crisis, shows how a humane but firm approach to migration can work.

Ashley Fox: The fight over Galileo satellite programme encapsulates the EU’s attitude to Brexit

Brussels struggles to stray from the letter of the rules – and thus insists on treating the UK as an ordinary third party despite our unique security relationship.

Ashley Fox: Canada illustrates that the bespoke deal May wants is perfectly achievable

I believe last week’s inner cabinet meeting at Chequers will be seen as a key staging post in Britain’s exit from the European Union.

Ashley Fox: In Brussels, the new year brings a continuation of familiar battles

Brexit looms large, of course, but now Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic are also fighting with the EU Commission over self-determination.

Ashley Fox: I believe that there will be a Brexit deal. But Hammond must none the less use his Budget to prepare for the worst.

If the measures involved prove unnecessary, any money lost will be a fraction of the financial gains from having secured a mutually acceptable deal.

Ashley Fox: The UK’s negotiators have the freedom to innovate and compromise, but Barnier’s hands are tied

The famous photo of the EU’s negotiator sitting with a pile of papers was misinterpreted. Those were the order that limit his scope.

Ashley Fox: The election doesn’t change the fundamentals of our negotiations with Brussels

EU leaders care less about the result than many in Britain think. They are used to leading minority governments, and just want to get on with the talks.

Ashley Fox: A General Election victory will finally convince Brussels we really are leaving the EU

Some in the EU still imagine Britain might u-turn. Let’s show them without doubt that we won’t.

Ashley Fox: Why the EU will find it difficult to choose the right way forward

Juncker has presented MEPs with five options, but the responses show how hard Brussels politicians will find it to change their attitudes.

Ashley Fox: This year we must start delivering on the promises of 2016

Our MEPs must smooth the path of the Brexit negotiations whilst also remaining engaged in the day-to-day business of the European Parliament.

Ashley Fox: How the Walloonatics almost took over the asylum

Unintentionally, the socialists of this Belgian region have done us a favour by making the free trade championing UK look an increasingly attractive partner.

Ashley Fox: Lower immigration and the single market. We can have our cake and eat it.

The starting point for our negotiations should be to retain full access to – but not membership of – the Single Market, while also taking full control of our borders.
