May makes her choice at last. She tears up her red lines.

By saying for the first time that “the Government stands ready to abide by the decision of the House”, she risks splitting her own Party.

How Conservative MPs voted on the motion. There were 34 rebels.

PS: We make that 28 Spartans and six Remainers. The Prime Minister won only nine votes from across the floor, and lost the DUP.

The Government is bluffing. Why I and many others will vote against the Withdrawal Agreement later today.

The EU won’t grant us a long extension for fear of what European elections here would produce. If we hold our nerve, the UK will Brexit on WTO terms in April.

Chris White: A guide to today’s indicative votes – and their significance, as the legislature seizes power from the executive

This week has seen Parliament grab control, and this has serious implications for the practices of responsible government.

The Prime Minister In Name Only awaits the Prime Minister In All But Name

In other words, May waits for Letwin. Which adds a new dimension to her chicken game. Her message is: “vote for my deal soon – or get his.”

The Moggcast. Deal-or-No-Brexit “becomes the choice eventually…May’s deal is better than not leaving at all”

Rees-Mogg details how the deal is “definitely not” worse than Remain. And: why the Letwin plan is constitutionally “absurd”.

Iain Dale: Zombie May and her Zombie Cabinet

Leadsom seems to be the only one with lead in her pencil. All she needs now is to grow big fat hairy balls.

By Iain Dale | 22 March 2019 | 136 comments

The Vienna Convention is a very, very slender ladder down which to retreat

The precedents seem unfavourable to Brexiteer ambitions and it isn’t even obvious that it applies to UK-EU relations at all.

By Henry Hill | 16 March 2019 | 157 comments

The verdict of Cash’s ‘Star Chamber’ on the UK-EU Political Agreement: full text.

The panel, comprising legally-trained Conservative and DUP MPs as well as outside experts, set out their full legal reasoning for rejecting the deal.

The six amendments tabled ahead of today’s debate on No Deal

In addition to ‘Malthouse II’ and the Spelman/Dromey Amendment are several tabled by the Independent Group and nationalist parties.

By Henry Hill | 13 March 2019 | 129 comments

Don’t forget the arithmetic. In addition to the ERG, watch the DUP, Tory Remainers and soft Brexiters, and Labour rebels.

There is more than one moving part in this complex day, and some could counteract one another.

By Mark Wallace | 12 March 2019 | 34 comments

Do you think it looks bad for May next week? If so, it’s even worse than you think. Here’s why.

That motions next week will be amendable opens up a can of worms for the Government – or rather a can of serpents.

By Paul Goodman | 10 March 2019 | 222 comments

Next week’s Brexit votes could yet result in the general election nobody wants

May is so weak that even her command of the payroll vote is slipping. If her Government loses control of European policy, can it really remain in office?

By Henry Hill | 9 March 2019 | 424 comments

Iain Dale: Whatever happens with Brexit this month, May must go. And quickly.

Plus: What anti-Muslim prejudice? I know of a Tory branch that moved their meeting from a pub in an attempt to make a Muslim member feel more comfortable.

By Iain Dale | 8 March 2019 | 200 comments

Andrew Lewer: Tory councillors will pay the price if Brexit is delayed

Some Associations will have received ‘guidance’ from CCHQ on whether a motion passed at the National Convention can be replicated at Association AGMs. The answer, of course, is yes.
