Merkel will rescue the Prime Minister. Where have we heard that before?

The German Chancellor was stronger then than she is now. And there’s no guarantee that any compromise she might push would work.

Lord Ashcroft: The Tory MPs who say “they have sent in letters they haven’t”. Or “withdrawn letters they never sent”.

Brady reports no confidence moves against May that might not be no confidence moves at all.

Like Hague, I voted Remain. But he is wrong to condemn Johnson, Davis and Rees-Mogg. Here is why.

His attack on the Brexiteers as Romantics runs the risk of dismissing the EU referendum as a fraud.

By Andrew Gimson | 11 July 2018 | 384 comments

The Brexit negotiation and the Government’s position. There is a glimmer of light.

Davis may not have got all he wanted on the backstop. But for the second time in a few months, he has nudged May forwards. It is high time she made the most of him.

James Frayne: Cummings is right about voter backlash against a Brexit betrayal

Votes would come flooding back into UKIP and, perhaps more importantly, to independent candidates that campaign on the “You Lied” platform.

Interview. The Brexit negotiation – Dodds warns against the “annexation” of Northern Ireland

The DUP’s Westminster Leader says the Irish border issue is being exploited by people who want “to thwart leaving the EU if they can”.

James Frayne: To contest big state ideas, small state conservatives need to get to grips with the detail

They must also rediscover the interests of the consumer – and be better at engaging working class voters on social issues.

By James Frayne | 24 April 2018 | 77 comments

Rebecca Lowe: I’d rather you didn’t go to watch strippers. But I don’t think the state should stop you.

Is there a going rate for such a job — which includes wearing a prescribed colour of underwear?

By Rebecca Lowe | 31 January 2018 | 43 comments

Yet another part of Project Fear is unravelling

In the Financial Times, of all places, it emerges that predictions of Brexit disaster in the City were overblown.

By Mark Wallace | 15 December 2017 | 186 comments

Brexit. How Britain’s lack of interest in Ireland, and Ireland’s lack of imagination about Britain, join to threaten disaster

Dublin likes to cite the Belfast Agreement, and we certainly all need what it exemplified – that’s to say, a good old-fashioned face-saving fudge.

The Budget morning-after. The papers could be a lot worse for the Chancellor.

The FT has the balanced “Grim outlook overshadows housing drive” while the Times goes for “Hammond eases off austerity”. The i has “Hammond’s hard-hat budget”.

Henry Newman: For the talks to progress, May should show Brussels the colour of our money

DExEU people are whispering “48” as the upper end of the UK’s potential liability. But that level of commitment or specificity is not necessarily required at this stage.

By Henry Newman | 31 October 2017 | 168 comments

Henry Newman: My take from Brussels this week. The EU side wants to ramp up the pressure – not wind down the talks.

There’s more than a hint in the air that they are happy to let the negotiation get sticky – and wait for capital to flee the UK and for investment to plummet.

By Henry Newman | 21 October 2017 | 209 comments

Britain, Ireland and Brexit. Bordering on talking past each other.

Ireland’s displeasure is understandable. But it could prove counter-productive – working against the free trade deal that would suit it as well as the UK.

By Paul Goodman | 16 August 2017 | 159 comments

Robert Halfon: Being a Workers Party means being a party for lower taxes too

We should put the proceeds in a special Redistribution Fund to spend either on public services, or on poorer communities, or cutting taxes for the lower paid.

By Robert Halfon MP | 5 July 2017 | 73 comments
