George Trefgarne: Why Norway-to-Canada is practical and legal – and offers the UK and EU a way out of a Brexit crash

A response to Jean-Claude Piris and others who argue that the idea simply won’t fly.

Nick Boles: So you don’t like Chequers. In which case, you need a workable altenative. Here’s mine. What’s yours?

In the long-term, we should be pursuing a Canada-style free trade agreement. In the short, we should park ourselves in the EEA.

Kathrine Kleveland: Here in Norway, we can do much better than the EEA. And so can you in Britain when you quit the EU.

In the second piece of our mini-series evaluating the EEA, the leader of the county’s No to EU movement says that the arrangement is entangling Norway in the Union.

George Eustice: I’m a former UKIP candidate. I backed fundamental renegotiation. But I support the Chequers proposals. Here’s why.

Have no doubt about it: we’re leaving. But if we want to put the country back together, we must now keep some perspective.

James Cartlidge: It’s time to board the EEA lifeboat – and set sail towards a New Common Market

The UK plus EFTA would have a greater GDP than Germany. As one, we would be the largest economy in Europe.

Nothing has changed? Come off it. The Prime Minister is treating voters and MPs like fools.

As a split in the Conservative Party finally threatens for real, May must explain why and when she backed off mutual recognition.

Plus “due regard paid to EU case law in areas where the UK continues to apply a common rulebook”.

John Ashworth: The Government must not betray fishermen and coastal communities in the Brexit talks

Even the 21-month implementation period could drive more boats out of business, and leave us ill-equipped to rebuild a long-suffering industry.

Are Brexiteer MPs paper tigers?

At each turn to date, they have decided that the best shouldn’t be the enemy of the good. Which suggests that they won’t vote against any heads of agreement – however imperfect.

Iain Dale: Will the price of an EU deal be French-made blue passports and Spanish boats in British waters?

Plus: The Whips need to get a grip. I greet the recovery of the pound. I fear for the future of our high streets.

Whether you care about fisheries or not, they’re an essential guide to the new politics of Brexit

Just as Geldof swearing at fishermen symbolised the referendum divide, negotiations over fish offer an insight into what ‘taking back control’ really means.

Stephen Hammond: Why I will be tabling amendments to the Trade Bill to explore joining EFTA

To shut off consideration of realistic and achievable ways of supporting the Government’s Brexit objectives would be irresponsible.

Lee Rotherham: Yes, Canada Plus is a real possibility – and the EU’s own history of trade deals proves it

Don’t fall for the Commission’s spin: it has been the guardian of no fewer than 42 different models of association.

Andrew Green: No, EFTA membership would not give us adequate control of immigration. There is a better way.

MigrationWatch has suggested that those EU migrants with skills in short supply should be able to come to the UK for a time-limited period after Brexit.

James Cartlidge: We should consider joining EFTA – which would give us the brake on unskilled EU migration that we may need

If we are also out of CAP, CFP and direct ECJ jurisdiction, able to negotiate our own trade deals and in the Single Market, it might not be such a bad outcome after all.
