Ed McGuinness: A lesson for democracy in Europe from an abandoned airport in Cyprus

The EU is caught between making more effective decisions and compromising its smaller members’ interests.

Ian Howells: Hybrids are the key to delivering the Government’s climate transport goals in the UK

The UK can and should achieve its ambitious emissions reductions targets. But it will only get there by making the most of all energy sources and technologies.

Bill Cash: We would be within our rights to override the Withdrawal Agreement. And in any event, the EU itself is a law-breaker.

Look, too, at the track record of EU Member States. In 2020, Germany’s highest court ruled on subordinating EU law to German law. The EU took no action.

Stephen Booth: Why the row about the Northern Ireland Protocol suggests that the EU’s position isn’t quite as strong as it likes to think

How plausible is it that the UK would zealously enforce EU rules in a scenario in which trade agreement talks have broken down acrimoniously?

Six months on from last year’s general election, it’s only the LibDems who bang on about Europe

The CBI supports the Government’s timetable and Starmer is keeping his head down. It is quite the turnaround.

Roderick Crawford: Brexit and trade. Here’s a grand bargain to open the way to a final agreement.

Specific governance arrangements can be established in individual areas, and an agreement should sit outside the overarching institutional framework.

The lack of an agreed border with Ireland makes “an Australian-style settlement” more unlikely than would otherwise be the case.

Brexit, Johnson, Merkel, Macron – and 30 days in the wilderness

Their words, like Johnson’s visit itself, look more like more gambits in a blame game than a genuine change of heart.

Geoffrey van Orden: Why Conservative MEPs voted for von der Leyen, an advocate of an EU army, for Commission President

The alternatives were worse – and her record in overseeing the Bundeswehr suggests that the misguided project would be doomed on her watch.

Garvan Walshe: By picking von der Leyen, the EU has ensured that Remain would lose a second referendum

The ‘remain and reform’ mantra was implausible to begin with, but the choice of new EU Commission President fatally undermines it.

The farcical horse-trading of the EU’s top job is a stark reminder of why we must leave

Who are you voting for to run the EU Commission? Have you watched the debates and scrutinised their manifestos? Oh, wait.

Mark Harper: We need a date for Britain to leave the EU. But here’s why it can’t be October 31st – much as I’d like it to be.

So how are we going to get a new deal? The key is to build strong relationships, both across the Party, with our DUP allies, and with our European partners.
