WATCH: Ici Londres – There’s no reason to believe that those who won’t accept one referendum will honour a second one

Consider, Hannan argues, the promises made by people like Clegg, Major and Ashdown during the last campaign.

Daniel Hannan: Brexit will be a success, but swivel-eyed Remainers make the process more costly than it needs to be

The message that some send to Brussels – that if the Eurocrats make it all painful enough then we can be bullied into changing our minds – is mistaken but harmful.

Iain Dale: My listeners praised May for having the guts to do our phone-in. They were right.

All credit to her. She’s the first prime minister since Tony Blair to do one phone-in outside an election period. They always carry a slight risk for a politician.

WATCH: Juncker contradicts Clegg’s denial of the EU’s military ambitions

Concerns dismissed by the then-Deputy Prime Minister in 2014 have been confirmed by the President of the EU Commission.

The last thing we need is the police or the courts trying to define political truth

Alan Sugar’s idea of criminalising political lies is deeply unwise.

Kieron O’Hara: Seven ways to reach younger voters. Including, as May is doing today, reaching out to other parties.

If the Conservatives spoke a progressive alliance, and meant it, they might be able to make some progress – and break down virulent anti-Toryism.

Dean Godson: Has May conquered class politics for the Conservatives?

Gender, race and sexuality dominated the early phases of Tory modernisation. The Prime Minister is now scaling the most challenging peak: class.

Nick Hillman: Students, the election and our poll. More than half say they will vote Labour. And they still want to punish the LibDems.

They are willing to support the Corbyn leadership even though they expect it to break a similar tuition fees promise to that broken by Nick Clegg.

WATCH: Ici Londres – Juncker wants the hardest of Brexits. So why is Farron siding with him? asks Daniel Hannan

They themselves are proving May’s argument that they cannot be trusted to protect our national interest.

Farron’s support for action in Syria shows how Clegg changed the Lib Dems

The halcyon days of Charles Kennedy’s leadership offer a clear temptation to revert to the party’s old opportunist ways. Will their new, more governmental habits stick?

Iain Dale: May moves Article 50 – and the BBC plunges into a period of national mourning

Plus: May’s legs, Starmer’s hair, Sturgeon’s legs, Warsi the enemy within, Carswell the rebel without, pigs may fly in Dumfries. And: A Rudd-faced Home Secretary.
