The Conservative MPs who misread Johnson, were willing to end his career over Brexit – and ended their own instead

This is not the first time that the Prime Minister has been misread by opponents who deluded themselves into believing he was set on No Deal.

The prospect seems remote. But is National Government on its way?

One can conceive of Ministers seeking an all-party public front, and Labour objecting to responsibility with no power.

Brexit. The story of 2019 in a single paragraph.

Defeat. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat…Total Complete & Utter Victory.

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.

WATCH: Barclay confirms the “Government will comply with the law”

Pressed as to whether a letter will be sent, the Brexit Secretary adds that the “legislative requirements” will be met.

How the whip-deprived 21 have weakened Johnson’s negotiating position

Had the Benn Act not been passed, it would be far stronger – as he presents his new “fair and reasonable compromise” to the EU.

Osborne – Brexit’s saviour?

The Fixed Terms Parliament Act may pave the way to delivering Brexit by October 31. And for that, we can thank…

Chris White: What will the new Prime Minister’s Parliamentary options be on Brexit?

If Boris Johnson wants to pursue a No Deal exit, then he will have a fight on his hands with MPs.

The worst Prime Minister in our history

We refer, of course, to Letwin – the Prime Minister In All But Name. Not because he’s making a mess of things. But because, unlike others, he’s unaccountable.

The price May is paying for survival is powerlessness

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.

By Chris White | 19 March 2019 | 94 comments

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

Key to her victory is yesterday’s Remainer / Soft Brexit Cabinet and other rebels falling into line after a Party backlash today.

By Paul Goodman | 15 March 2019 | 9 comments

May’s statement about the Government’s plans now. What she said and what she meant.

The biggest defeat in modern times and the largest Tory rebellion won’t stop her trying to resurrect her deal.

Almost good enough isn’t good enough

Strangely but truly, the best way of helping the Prime Minister is to send her back to Brussels to win concessions on the backstop.
