Tick tock tick tock – time for a second EU referendum is running out

But here’s how Labour could attempt a risky manoeuvre next week – by promising a second poll while being powerless to deliver one.

Henry Newman: Now the Government must promote Chequers – which, though not perfect, is at least practicable

For far, far too long Downing Street dithered and delayed crucial decisions. Ministers need to commit to selling the agreed policy before its too late.

WATCH: May on her future. “It’s the future of people in the UK that matters.”

The Prime Minister dodges Nick Robinson’s question in yesterday evening’s Panorama programme on Chequers and Brexit.

Bob Seely: Yes, Brexit and leadership are important. But so’s everything else. Here are some ideas for the future.

Scrap HS2. Integrate social care. Abolish NI. Reverse police cuts. Consider a new Bill of Rights. And much, much more.

WATCH: May – “The White Paper represents a considerable shift in our position. It is now for the EU to respond.”

The Prime Minister makes her most comprehensive case yet for the Chequers proposals. The EU should “evolve its position as we have”.

Cheqada

Or: how May could seek to get a deal through the Commons with the support of Soft and Hard Brexiteers alike.

Robert Goodwill: The Commons Bill this week which prepares the way for a Green Brexit

Last week, I sowed wild bird seed mixtures so that, in the spring, some of our fields will be ablaze with nectar plants and buzzing with insects once more.

Iain Dale: Will May challenge her critics to put up or shut up – and herself get a confidence ballot staged?

Plus: John Lewis blames Brexit. Juncker gets a drink. BBC stasis at Question Time and PM. And: Trump can’t emote.

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.

Flying frogs

Pro-Brexit MPs weighed a no-confidence vote in Theresa May yesterday evening. But the essential case against one remains unchanged.

A rough guide to where some of the pro-Brexit players are on further proposals for Canada Plus Plus Plus – and No Deal.

Nicky Morgan: May’s coming conference speech. We must see the woman who danced in Africa – not the PMQs version

The Prime Minister should speak over the heads of Party members and the media to the people that she most identifies with: middle of the road voters.

Syed Kamall: Juncker’s legacy to date. The loss of a member state. And the slated rise of a crony.

I am excited by Britain’s post-Brexit prospects but will not stop caring about the EU when I close my Brussels office door for the last time in March.

The thrills and spills of seeking the EEA port in a storm

We prefer Canada Plus Plus Plus. But a question could emerge over the next few months: is it a better option than an unmanageable No Deal – or even no Brexit at all?

Don Porter: There is a huge opportunity for the Conservative vote to sky-rocket if we stay true to the referendum result

Over third of Conservative Voice’s members are mulling voting UKIP next time in response to Chequers.
