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.

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.

WATCH: Ici Londres – “We cannot carry on offering the same deal to a Parliament that has rejected it”, Hannan argues

Instead we need “a short extension, seven or eight weeks…to prepare for a No Deal outcome.”

Salvatore Murtas: Brussels’ arrogance is undermining the Union across Europe

Their high-handed dismissal of Cameron helped deliver Brexit. The insults of Tusk and Verhofstadt show nothing has changed.

Interview: Andrea Jenkyns – “Prime Ministers keep their jobs if they keep their promises”

“We think that the future relationship with Britain needs to be about more than trade and economics”.

Daniel Hannan: No matter how much Tusk might wish it, there will be no second referendum, and no cancellation of Brexit

A bit of romantic rhetoric from Brussels cannot change the fact that their only offers – before and after we voted Leave – have been provocatively unacceptable.

David Campbell Bannerman: We’ve voted to leave the EU but, until Brexit takes place, we need to keep our MEPs

Each one of us will have a vote on any deal – and 73 MEPs may well be crucial to passing it.

Iain Dale: May weebly wobbles on (and on and on and on)

Plus: We’ll never know the truth about the rebels’ motives. If you have fewer MPs, you must also have fewer Ministers. And: doesn’t Steve Baker have a fine head of hair?

What is the timeline for the crucial next few days of Brexit talks?

The run-up to the European Council meetings next week could decide the future of the negotiations.

A sensible solution is achievable, but unnecessary brinksmanship and over-the-top rhetoric helps nobody.

The Prime Minister is right to be optimistic about our future relationship with the EU, but we must be ready for every eventuality.
