Unfit for office. But worse even than Corbyn are Labour’s moderates – who are willing to put his anti-Jewish racism into power.

Most voters will have what to them are more pressing reasons to reject Corbyn than anti-semitism. But none expose more fully why he must be stopped.

We placed our trust in Johnson. Whatever happens on Thursday, he has kept faith with us – and with Britain.

A Black, sorry, Red Swan may carry him off. But in less than six months he has rescued the Conservatives, and is on the brink of delivering the referendum mandate.

She yesterday achieved the outcome most likely to prop her up – at least for the time being. But Cooper, Letwin and Bercow are waiting in the wings.

Chris White: Brexit. May’s Commons options after Bercow’s ruling.

There’s little that Conservative MPs can do to stop the Speaker – they don’t have the votes to depose him.

May keeps control of the negotiation. She fends off Benn, Letwin, Cooper and company by two votes – 314 to 312
