I’m a GNU. How do you do?

MPs are more likely to try other means of stopping a No Deal Brexit than holding a no confidence vote in Johnson’s Government.

A Government of national unity is a non-starter – even if its seven prospective leaders take one day of the week each

Their real aim is to overturn the referendum result, wreck Brexit and destroy the Government we actually have.

Opposition Day Brexit motion. The ten Tory MPs who voted with Labour. The eight Labour MPs who voted with the Tories.

The Government won by 11 votes, 298 to 309, in a setback for Letwin – though the result doesn’t guarantee No Deal any more than a vote the other way would barred it.

Corbyn will win if today’s Commons motion is passed. And Tory leadership candidates know it.

Gove, Stewart and perhaps others too could see their standing and prospects damaged this afternoon.

Andrew Gimson’s leadership sketch: Stewart is the star of the show

He reproached the advocates of no deal for telling a fairy tale.

Who is the real Gove?

A run-off between him and Johnson would risk being seen as a continuation of the “psychodrama” between the two men.

Anthony Browne: Policy Gains from Brexit 2) Cutting VAT on domestic electricity

With average household energy bills around £1000 a year, it would be a cut of about £50 per year per family.

Henry Newman: The Tory poll collapse is nothing to do with May’s Withdrawal Agreement. MPs should vote for it – and deliver Brexit

A basic problem remains unaltered – that there is no Commons majority for a No Deal Brexit. This point has been well made by Ann Widdecombe.

Aitken on the meaning of Easter: “We can all have second chances, little resurrections in our lives.”

The former Cabinet minister, who went to prison for perjury, explains why, as a prison chaplain, he is happier than he has ever been.

The 14 Conservatives who enabled the Cooper Bill to pass by a single vote

It passed its Third Reading by a single vote. Now the former Labour Minister’s anti-No Deal Bill is off to the Lords.

May makes her choice at last. She tears up her red lines.

By saying for the first time that “the Government stands ready to abide by the decision of the House”, she risks splitting her own Party.

Dominic Walsh: What a customs union does and doesn’t do – and how it compares to the backstop.

Precisely because it would be a rather unnecessary addition to the current deal, it is hard to argue that the proposal would be a disaster for Brexit.

Indicative Votes Round Two: 4) Customs Union. 37 Tories for. 236 against.

Those who voted for the former Chancellor’s motion included Tobias Ellwood, Vicky Ford and Victoria Prentis.

Three cheers for the Commons for the way it is conducting the necessary argument on Europe

Progressive commentators and saloon-bar orators are wrong to condemn MPs for finding the national issue hard to settle.

Indicative votes 6) Clarke votes for Corbyn’s plan

It favours “a permanent customs union”, “close alignment with the Single Market” and “dynamic alignment on rights and protections”.
