Stephen Booth: Switzerland’s painstaking negotiations with the EU tell us a lot about our future relationship with Brussels

We can expect greater divergence, whether we like it or not, and should focus on our diplomatic relationships outside the bloc.

Simon Schofield: Iceland, the UAE and Vietnam have had some of the best responses to Covid. Here’s what we can learn from them.

Our debates are often rooted in “the West”, and the successes of nations outside of this club tend to be passing headlines at most.

Stephen Booth: The main benefits of joining this Pacific trade partnership would be strategic

Future deals will be important but they should be viewed as a means to an end rather than an end in of themselves

Emily Barley: The Government’s Brexit plan puts us at risk of substandard and corrupt justice systems in EU member states

Britons were told the country would be leaving the dangerous European Arrest Warrant system, but its replacement looks suspiciously similar.

Robert Halfon: The Government was wise to give way to Rashford. Now let him head up the Social Mobility Commission.

Plus: vision from the top for left-behind pupils, a National Education Broadcasting Service, and Alan Turing summer schools.

Andrew Griffith: A blanket and indefinite 14-day quarantine would put our aviation sector at risk

Fortunately, there are workable alternatives on the table already – see what’s happening at Heathrow and Vienna, and in Iceland.

Andrew Smith: Whatever indicative votes produce, let it not be Norway Plus

It would be dangerous for UK business and would leave both Leavers and Remainers dissatisfied. It would leave Britain subject to free movement.

Andrew Green: Norway, for now or forever, isn’t the way to travel. It would mean no real control of migration from Europe.

There are indeed mechanisms for mitigating damaging immigration flows, but these are tightly constrained.

Nick Boles: So you don’t like Chequers. In which case, you need a workable altenative. Here’s mine. What’s yours?

In the long-term, we should be pursuing a Canada-style free trade agreement. In the short, we should park ourselves in the EEA.

John Stevenson, Jeremy Lefroy and Paul Masterton: There’s a better way for the Government on Europe – joining EFTA

Within EFTA, there are already two models of relationship with the EU – the EEA and the Swiss model. There is no reason why there could not be a third.

Peter Lilley: Sovereignty or prosperity? It’s a false choice. They go hand in hand.

Not being able to blame Brussels for our problems nor look to the EU for solutions will be immensely reinvigorating.

David Campbell Bannerman: Why EFTA wouldn’t work for Britain

We don’t need a European solution; we need a global solution. We must think independent Anglosphere, not dependent Eurosphere.

Tory MPs, the Repeal Bill, high motives for backing it, and a lower one too: self-preservation

They will want to ask themselves if they really want to spurn last year’s referendum result and the Party’s manifesto commitment.

Christopher Howarth: We are not supplicants in this negotiation. We have something the EU needs: money.

For both sides, this is a new kind of deal-making. Although Britain is still a member, this is not an internal negotiation in which the UK can be outgunned and outvoted:

Dean Godson: Deal or No Deal. What happens if we leave the EU without a comprehensive agreement? A call for evidence.

We are keen to gather views from interested parties (such as businesses, industry groups, politicians, academics and others) about what would happen.
