Will the ERG vote against the Government today?
Labour’s debate on the disclosure of legal advice about any Brexit agreement will be well worth keeping an eye on.
Henry Newman: A Brexit deal isn’t certain, but it’s within reach – and it could still make it through Parliament
The process is hard and risky, but it still seems unlikely that the Labour Party would really torpedo an agreement in the last resort.
Gisela Stuart: The EU referendum gave the political class a chance to mend its ways. So far, it hasn’t.
There is still time for adoption of a comprehensive free trade deal on offer from the EU and applied to the entire UK, which even now could provide a way forward.
Asia Bibi should be offered asylum in Britain
Hers is a test case for Ministers, for Muslim organisations in Britain, for free speech – for what sort of country we want to be.
Chloe Westley: Jordan Peterson, not modern feminists, speaks for me
Peterson rejects collectivist doctrines, and instead emphasises the importance of the individual. This is why so many people say they have been inspired by his work.
Amber Rudd & Andrew Percy: Brexit. Why a Canada-type deal won’t work for Britain.
The UK should copy Canada only in regard to how it pursues a deal, and that means securing one that is bespoke to our economic needs and realities.
The unknown names that live for evermore
These acts of remembrance may in some slight measure salve grief, and enable those who have not had to endure such things to give thanks for those who do.
Jonathan Clark: Is it time to sweep away our political parties – and clear the decks for Leave v Remain?
The electorate are less and less convinced by such arguments about party identity and destiny. Far underground, the tectonic plates are moving.
There’s a serious discussion to have about data and electoral law, but it is yet to take place.
Our democracy is poorly served by widespread ignorance about campaign technology, and the fact glamorous alarmism wins more headlines than grubby reality.
Nick Hargrave: We need better political leaders. Here’s how to go about getting them.
It’s good for MPs to do some work outside Westminster. This will not be a quick win in the current political climate, though. So in the interim, here are some suggestions.
Desmond Swayne: Weaning parents off disposable nappies
We must look at the benefits that reusable nappies can offer, and promote greater awareness so that people can make an informed choice.
The beauty of Scruton
The campaign against him is driven by the knowledge that May agrees with his views on design – and fear that the Government will act on them.
Eamonn Ives: No, Brexit will not threaten all creatures great and small
In certain respects, the UK’s leaving of the EU could reap animal welfare benefits on a scale hitherto unimaginable.
Full timely study. The basis on which Cabinet members should see legal advice on any Brexit deal.
There is no case for withholding it from them, for it only being shown after the event, or for not allowing them to study it.
Dominic Walsh: The backstop must be temporary. It can’t just be a bridge to…itself.
Cox told the Cabinet that the EU’s admittance that the backstop can be temporary was a step forward. He is right, although the devil will be in the detail.
