The UK should be willing to consider some flexibility in return for a trade deal – with Australia, with India, with Brazil and, yes, with the EU.

Garvan Walshe: Fragmentation, not the far right, is the story of Sweden’s election

The immediate effect of the election will be a period of fraught negotiation, but it might not be a bad change in the long-term.

George Trefgarne: The EEA is a much more attractive option than Chequers, the ‘implementation period’, or No Deal

In the first of a new mini-series evaluating the EEA, the author of ‘Norway then Canada’ argues the route has been wrongly neglected.

Priti Patel: We must chuck Chequers, or disillusioned voters will reject mainstream politics
