A first glance at some of the main points in May’s deal

We set five tests for it. Does this draft agreement pass them? And does it really take back control of our borders, laws and money?

Lower immigration, the unspoken upward pressure on wages

Various Leavers – and the head of the Remain campaign – predicted such an outcome. Now it seems we’re seeing it happen.

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.

Nicky Morgan: The Budget – and a Government that failed to listen to the country over problem gambling

We need to be alive to adding to the impression that the fixing of a social harm can wait a few months while we find a way to replace lost revenue.

Daniel Kawczynski: The Home Secretary must not back away from DNA testing for migrants

It is a vital tool for speeding up applications and ensuring more reliable judgements, and is good for both applications and the state.

Syed Kamall: People in Brussels expect a Brexit deal will be struck, but fear time is running out

Meanwhile, my ECR colleagues and I continue to push for a sensible, nation-led approach to tackling the migration crisis.

Iain Dale: After Sitwell’s sacking, will I be the next journalist to be fired for offending snowflakes?

Plus: When The Sun doesn’t shine and the Home Office doesn’t work. P.S: In solidarity with the former Waitrose food magazine editor, I will eat steak.

Will Tanner: The Budget choice on ending austerity. Raise taxes – or ease up on deficit reduction.

In the final article of our mini-series, the Onward Director says that there must also be a new strategy to help boost Britain’s productivity rate.

Stephen Booth: Why No Deal will only shave a small slice off growth – if we act wisely over the medium-term

Brexit won’t be the most important factor shaping our growth over the next decade or so, whether we leave with an agreement or without one.

Garvan Walshe: Immigration and numbers. Let’s give control to the regions.

Both the type and quantity of migration that is desirable would be better decided at a more local level.

WATCH: Brexit Britain is an oasis of moderation even while populists rise elsewhere, notes Daniel Hannan

“In which EU country does the public when polled take the most positive view of immigration?”

Lord Ashcroft: The Tory MPs who say “they have sent in letters they haven’t”. Or “withdrawn letters they never sent”.

Brady reports no confidence moves against May that might not be no confidence moves at all.

“Britain, at its best, is open, welcoming and tolerant.” Javid’s Conference speech, full text

“I stand before you as the first Home Secretary in a generation that is actually able to define an immigration system, without being constrained by the EU.”

Nick Hargrave: Rapturously received – and strategically flawed. How May’s first Tory conference speeches have come back to haunt her.

She unwittingly legitimised unrealistic Brexit expectations and Corbyn’s economic argument.
