Nick Hargrave: The capitalism of the future demands a bigger role for the state

Its muscular power is needed to boost share ownership, build houses and tax wealth rather than income. And let’s rule out a No Deal Brexit.

Lord Ashcroft: “It’s not the apocalypse – calm down.” My Brexit limbo focus groups.

Most of the people in most of our groups – Remain and Leave, Conservative and Labour – thought we would end up leaving with some sort of deal.

Principles for reselections and deselections

The problem of Tory MPs who backed the Party’s pro-Brexit manifesto, voted for Article 50 and then for the EU Withdrawal Bill cannot simply be brushed aside.

James Bundy: A Department for the Union would strengthen our United Kingdom

It would be responsible for promoting the British brand right across the country – and there is a lot to promote.

John Strafford: The Conservative Party no longer belongs to its members. No wonder it faces an existential crisis.

If we do not leave the E.U. on terms that are acceptable to the members of the Party, large numbers will leave it. Here’s how we got here.

Nick Hargrave: Conservative moderates need to help change our Party. Here’s how to start doing it.

Our party will not be able to speak for Britain as it really is, and as it will increasingly come to be, unless we make some efforts to reflect this in our membership.

Profile: Philip May, the Prime Minister’s closest and best sounding board

He would be averse to leaving without a deal, but even more alarmed by the idea of taking any course of action which risked breaking the Tory Party into fragments.

May wins less a victory than a reprieve. And an extension to Article 50 is still likely.

The Prime Minister’s previous form suggests that she will keep kicking the can down the road, or try to – even after the road runs out.

Commons Brexit votes. What to watch for this evening. All hangs on the Cooper amendment.

If it passes, a signal will be sent that the Commons is likely to take control of Brexit policy – even if the Brady amendment also passes.

Andrew Gimson’s Commons sketch: Corbyn digs himself into a hole as the Prime Minister starts to unite her party

The Leader of the Opposition looked totally incapable of taking over.

Nicky Morgan: This Brexit logjam is holding up positive politics. Now the Prime Minister must break it.

The way to head these moves off – and this development is anticipated in the Cooper Bill which I am supporting – is to put an agreement in place.

Stella Creasy & Debbie Abrahams: A referendum got us here. Now let a Citizens’ Assembly – and more direct democracy – take us forward.

We want to learn from what other Parliaments have done when faced with difficult choices. Such an assembly would report back within ten weeks.

If May wants a revised plan to pass the Commons, she must take the lead herself

The Speaker is unlikely to select backbench amendments designed to help her, so her least bad option is a Government one.

A snap election and a Tory nightmare. Losing seats in London without gaining them elsewhere.

The point here is the electoral trade-off between what could plausibly happen in the capital and the provinces – with Corbyn entering Downing Street in consequence.

Next, watch pro-Remain and pro-Soft Brexit Ministers push for the postponement of Brexit

Today, May is swinging towards her Party’s leavers. The logic of the Chancellor’s position, and that of his allies, is to block her – or try to.
