A customs union 2) Simon Clarke – As a convinced Brexiteer, and an optimist about Britain, I see that joining one would lock us into decline

We shouldn’t be glued as a vassal state to a declining European market.

Terry Barnes: From the Anglosphere, we watch with horror as Britain bungles its Brexit chance to go global

British politicians are negotiating as if it were 410 AD, and still the Roman province of Britannia, asking permission to leave instead of flourishing a mandate to do so.

May’s new Brexit plan. There is an alternative – from within the Government itself.

We don’t claim that the EU would accept it – but neither will the Commission nor the 27 necessarily accept the Prime Minister’s new plan.

Daniel Hannan: My view of May’s new Brexit plan. It’s just about better than No Deal. But now a line in the sand must be drawn.

Preparing for no deal ought therefore to be our national priority – cuts in corporate and personal taxes, removal of regulations, openness to global business.

Andrew Green: Next up after today’s Chequers summit – immigration. Free movement must end. No ifs or buts.

Any exceptions for those with job offers would simply be flimsy camouflage for a wholesale retreat and for the abandonment of a major pledge to the British public.

Chris Grayling: After so long a wait, let’s get on with it – and vote emphatically today for expansion at Heathrow

Today, Parliament can play a huge part in helping us achieve that post-Brexit vision, securing the long-term connections the country needs.

Bernard Jenkin: The ‘new customs partnership’ idea should be dead in the water – it is the opposite of taking back control

It would leave EU judges in authority, obstruct new trading opportunities, and compel us to continue as a major financial contributor to Brussels. It is a futile distraction.

Jenrick is right to be wary of scrapping cash

Whatever the particular virtue of pennies, an all-electronic economy would have serious implications for both security and freedom.

Bernard Jenkin: Why the Government’s customs partnership proposal won’t work

Those continuing the Remain campaign represent a minority. The Prime Minister understands that the people have spoken, and that now there is no turning back.

Henry Newman: Even if the Government concedes on an EU customs union, membership of it looks unsustainable. Here’s why.

Can we really imagine ministers rejecting Justin Trudeau’s trade deal offer, or one from the American administration, or from Australia and New Zealand?

J Meirion Thomas: If we are to stop losing our best doctors, we must keep training and retraining them

Some specialist hospitals have made stellar consultant appointments from abroad. However, many doctors relocating here are economic migrants.

Terry Barnes: How Australia’s answer to Johnson may have just sunk the centre-right

A colourful, entertaining, and apparently Teflon-coated Deputy Prime Minister falls foul of a change in political culture.

David Campbell Bannerman: Why EFTA wouldn’t work for Britain

We don’t need a European solution; we need a global solution. We must think independent Anglosphere, not dependent Eurosphere.

Iain Dale: Yes, we’re British. We’re also European.

Plus: Johnson’s EU speech. Turnbull’s sex ban. Horror in America. Change in South Africa. And: order your popcorn for this weekend’s UKIP conference.

David Davies: Now that we’re leaving the EU, we must also quit the European Arrest Warrant

The EAW is based on the flawed presumption of judicial parity between European nations. The UK should forge a new partnership where this is actually the case.
