May’s Chequers “charm offensive” continues with a letter to Tory members – but is it making any difference?

It might even make things worse to spend Party funds to simply repeat the same messages, so long after the summit.

Our Cabinet League Table. The Chequers effect blitzes everyone. They’re all down. And May dives to her lowest rating ever.

This is collective punishment for the new Brexit policy. P.S: when ratings fall in this way, place in the table scarcely matters.

Our Survey. Next Tory Leader. Johnson more than triples his score to come top – for the first time since 2016

It’s the Chequers factor – as Gove falls from second to fifth. Javid remains competitive on 19 per cent, coming second this month.

YouGov once again echoes the ConHome panel on May and Tory leadership

Polling Conservative members is a tricky business, but these mutually reinforcing findings suggests our free, monthly survey is up to the task.

The Conservative Brexit choice. Seek to park the UK in the EEA under a new Tory leader. Or press on.

If Tory MPs think that No Deal would collapse Brexit altogether, or that it would be unmanageable next March, they need a Plan B. But we stress: if.

Johnson’s reset moment. He should tour Brexit Britain to defend the referendum result.

Say what you like about him (and many do), the recently-resigned Foreign Secretary is one of the very few Tories with voter cut-through.

Like Hague, I voted Remain. But he is wrong to condemn Johnson, Davis and Rees-Mogg. Here is why.

His attack on the Brexiteers as Romantics runs the risk of dismissing the EU referendum as a fraud.

If Brexiteering Ministers don’t hang together, they will all hang separately.

Number 10’s plan was summarised in the statement released after Chequers. The Ministers’ was contained in DexEU’s draft of the White Paper.

WATCH: No direct ECJ jurisdiction. No free movement. Out of CAP & the CFP. Out of home and foreign affairs pillars. Gove defends the Government’s Chequers proposals.

“That’s what people voted for. This honours that vote.”

Our snap survey. Three in five Party members believe May’s new Brexit plan represents a bad deal for Britain.

And the same proportion don’t support it. This mirrors the Leave/Remain divide which the survey found before the EU referendum.

The Government’s Chequers Agreement. From Canada Plus Plus Plus to Brexit Minus Minus Minus.

If no deal is better than a bad one, the sum of this policy is certainly a bad deal. Tory leavers now face a bleak choice.

Brexiteer frog at boiling point

What may count most today is not whether the water simmers over, but whether his temper and patience do instead – or first.

Javid overtakes Gove to top our Cabinet league table

Meanwhile, Williamson and Johnson’s approval ratings are in the doldrums.

May’s emerging negotiation plan. A port in a storm – not the end of the journey.

A Brexit in the hand is worth two in the bush. None the less, the Commons will have to vote her proposals down, if the EU banks them but offers no proper deal in return.

Robert Halfon: What Hunt has done for the NHS, Hinds must do for schools. We need textbooks, not tanks.

Plus: beware of claims that we’ve reached Peak Corbyn. Don’t raise fuel duty. Scrap hospital car parking charges. And: Hands keeps his promises.
