Iain Dale: Something has changed this week. Since May announced talks with Corbyn. I can smell it.

Plus: What would it take to get the Cabinet leavers to resign? Clarke’s Maastricht Treaty Customs Union moment. And: in defence of Robbie Gibb.

Daniel Hannan: We are shuffling towards a deal that is worse either than remaining or leaving

The EU asks: what do you want? But the Commons has said what it wants. Namely, the so-called Brady Amendment.

Three cheers for the Commons for the way it is conducting the necessary argument on Europe

Progressive commentators and saloon-bar orators are wrong to condemn MPs for finding the national issue hard to settle.

WATCH: Cox urges MPs to seize a last chance to secure an imminent Brexit date

He argues that the House faces a “clear choice”, and rejecting the Withdrawal Agreement would jeopardise any extension of Article 50.

Letwin the optimist says MPs can still find a Brexit which commands a majority

Harmony reigned as he denied being a revolutionary.

The moment for which Bercow has waited since he was a tiny boy

The crude effect of his ruling, crafted and sprung on a hapless Downing Street, is to make a third meaningful vote unlikely this week, and perhaps next week too.

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.

Richard Ekins: The real meaning of Cox’s advice. There is only a theoretical risk of being trapped in the backstop.

A number of important points about his view have been overlooked or misunderstood by some MPs and commentators.

Henry Newman: Why the revised deal’s changes to the backstop are significant – and offer Britain a route out

The final paragraph of Cox’s advice notes that in some circumstances the UK could suspend or exit the backstop under the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.

Garvan Walshe: Extension. A short one would serve no purpose. A longer one would bring Brexit’s reverse.

Honourable countries face up to the consequences of their actions. They don’t, like dilatory schoolboys late with their essays, simply ask for more time.

Andrew Gimson’s Commons sketch: The Prime Minister evokes sympathy, not approval

Nor could the Attorney General provide anything for his colleagues to cheer.

WATCH: The Attorney General says May’s “improvements” do “strengthen” the deal, but legal risks “remain unchanged”

He counsels that, beyond the legal technicalities, MPs must make a “political judgement” on the proposed Withdrawal Agreement.

Cox does his duty. In a single deadly paragraph, he shreds May’s revised deal.

“The United Kingdom would have…no internationally lawful means of exiting the Protocol’s arrangements, save by agreement.”

The Attorney-General’s legal opinion: full text

Three pages, 19 paragraphs – and no movement on the UK’s unilateral right, or lack of such, to depart the backstop.

Bounced!

MPs have less than a day to study this revised deal. So today’s vote should be postponed. If it isn’t, they should withhold support from the Government.
