Daniel Hannan: We are shuffling towards a deal that is worse either than remaining or leaving
The EU asks: what do you want? But the Commons has said what it wants. Namely, the so-called Brady Amendment.
Kevin Hollinrake: So you think that energy bills have been going up? In which case, think again.
When we account for how much energy we use at home, British families are not facing ever-rising bills for gas and electricity.
The worst Prime Minister in our history
We refer, of course, to Letwin – the Prime Minister In All But Name. Not because he’s making a mess of things. But because, unlike others, he’s unaccountable.
Henry Newman: What will the EU do now? Force No Deal? Offer a long extension? Or even a short one?
Now more than ever, it’s Brussels and not the Government which is in the driving seat – and we don’t know which way it will turn.
Dominic Walsh: What a customs union does and doesn’t do – and how it compares to the backstop.
Precisely because it would be a rather unnecessary addition to the current deal, it is hard to argue that the proposal would be a disaster for Brexit.
Our survey. How Party members would cast indicative votes. They are overwhelmingly for No Deal.
The only options they have backed in this month’s survey are forms of No Deal – or to a lesser extent May’s Deal.
Lord Ashcroft: The space for a new party isn’t just in the centre of politics
At the same time, my research shows some of the hurdles any theoretical new movement will have to cross if it is to survive contact with reality.
Chloe Westley: Is it right to describe and denounce Cultural Marxism?
There are better ways to describe the problem of left-wing bias – such as what I would more accurately describe as identity politics, or postmodernism.
Next Tory Leader. It’s Johnson first, Raab second and Gove third in our first survey since May’s pledge to quit.
Next time round, we will try run-offs between some of the main candidates, which are a bit ovedue.
Why won’t my colleagues think it through? A Customs Union would be a disaster for British foreign policy.
If in the future, the UK has neither its own trade policy nor any say over the EU’s, we will have literally zero leverage on anything to do with trade.
Three cheers for the Commons for the way it is conducting the necessary argument on Europe
Progressive commentators and saloon-bar orators are wrong to condemn MPs for finding the national issue hard to settle.
Grieve and Griffiths lose association confidence ballots
Grassroots Conservative members passed their verdict in Beaconsfield and in East Staffordshire, though for very different reasons.
Charlie Elphicke: It’s time to check the use of taxpayers’ money before it’s spent – not afterwards
We need a powerful Parliamentary spending watchdog, a Budget Committee, to stop hard-earned public cash being wasted.
Our survey. Three in five party members back May’s deal. It has a majority among them for the first time.
Our take is that there is very little enthusiasm for the deal among Party members: merely a growing belief that it is the lesser of two evils.
The Government is bluffing. Why I and many others will vote against the Withdrawal Agreement later today.
The EU won’t grant us a long extension for fear of what European elections here would produce. If we hold our nerve, the UK will Brexit on WTO terms in April.
