How Hammond could raise his ratings

The Chancellor has not always been well treated by his neighbour, and deserves support over public spending. But he has mishandled his internal position over Brexit.

Daniel Hannan: Twelve principles to unite Remainers and Leavers

Most people in both camps are interested in getting the best outcome starting from where we are. Here’s how.

Henry Newman: There will be a Brexit transition period – but it is unlikely to be via the EEA or EFTA

For all the talk of an “off the shelf” solution, those available would cross Brexiteer red lines.

Nick Boles: Why Britain should transition to full Brexit over three years – leaving before the next election is due

A six-year move from referendum vote to full sovereignty, rather than a sudden ripping away of all ties, is surely what a successful departure looks like.

Tory MPs, the Repeal Bill, high motives for backing it, and a lower one too: self-preservation

They will want to ask themselves if they really want to spurn last year’s referendum result and the Party’s manifesto commitment.

Christopher Howarth: Osborne, Umunna and the CBI are offering a bridge to nowhere, not a bridging agreement

Having attacked EEA membership as a bad deal during the referendum, they now pretend it is a good idea in the hope of preventing Brexit.

Shanker A. Singham: Lingering in the EEA and Customs Union would guarantee a bad Brexit

This is because in order to maximise opportunities, we must have control over our tariff schedules and our domestic regulation.

Interview: The double-hatted Suella Fernandes – both a member of the Government and a pro-Leave group leader

She points to the opportunities to imitate New Zealand agriculture, and to crack down on big businesses which evade tax.

Francis Maude: To win, we must modernise all over again

Detoxifying the Party never meant moving to the left – this year’s manifesto was well to the left economically of anything we advocated.

Christopher Howarth: We are not supplicants in this negotiation. We have something the EU needs: money.

For both sides, this is a new kind of deal-making. Although Britain is still a member, this is not an internal negotiation in which the UK can be outgunned and outvoted:

The future may or may not be bright. But either way, the future’s Brexit.

For all the chatter about the Customs Union, leaving the EU in full is still on course. But May’s bungled election has raised the chances of a disorderly outcome.

What would WTO mean? 4) Lee Rotherham: Navigating tariffs and Rules of Origin

There are some risks to trade, but they should be rationalised and addressed rather than overhyped.

Christopher Howarth: Sturgeon’s vanishing independence options. There would be no automatic EU or EEA membership for Scotland.

A curious alignment of remainer Unionists and Scottish nationalists was convinced that Brexit would cause the end of the UK. Fortunately, they were wrong.

Daniel Hannan: May’s Brexit vision is Churchill’s vision of Britain and Europe

We will be an ally, not a member, of the United States of Europe.

The Brexit negotiation. If May wants a good deal, she must be prepared to walk away – and mean it

Such a deal would, on balance, be better than Most Favoured Nation Status. But MFN would be better than a bad deal – and giving up on regaining control of our borders.
