Johnson has lost a battle – and room for manoeuvre. But he can still win the war.

Despite the Supreme Court ruling, he still has a fighting chance of gaining an election – and then winning it.

The civil service isn’t neutral. It shouldn’t be, it can’t be.

It must necessarily have a worldview. The question is whether or not this has caught up with the Brexit vote.

Nigel Evans: If the Prime Minister can’t deliver a clean Brexit, she must make way for a successor who will

She should now put her deal to the Commons without the backstop – announce a firm date for her departure.

Mark Francois: The voluntary party must now save us from ourselves

I welcome the suggestion that local Associations should follow the lead that the National Convention took last weekend.

“The key is the DUP.” A letter to the Prime Minister from her Chief of Staff.

How a note to May this morning about a deal, the meaningful vote, extension and future Brexit policy options might read. Plus a possible general election…

May’s new Brexit hell. An alliance of hard and soft Brexiteers humiliates her. And any sense of progress is lost.

Her motion is defeated. Will the EU now abandon her, and egg on Letwin and his supporters to try to take formal control of the negotiation?

Trust

Robbins’ overheard conversation has further eroded faith in his boss – and the ERG is itself divided over whether changes to the backstop would themselves be enough.

Richard Tice: Robbins must go – the EU negotiations need a fresh face

He has become emblematic of the failed status quo. We need someone who believes in Brexit.

Iain Dale: We’re heading towards an application to extend Article 50. And if extension happens, will revocation follow?

Plus: Collective minsterial responsibility is seeping away. Plus: A.C.Grayling, Jews, nazis, yellow stars – and Brexit Derangement Syndrome.

Interview: Francois insists that the ERG wants the backstop ditched altogether – not tweaked

“In my personal opinion, Olly Robbins should go to the Tower, in which case he should arrive by river.”

Terror of No Deal is driving May to risk splitting her Party and fall back on Labour MPs instead

That’s the single fact that stands out from the “low tragedy, high farce” of resignations, splits, divisions, principles and ambitions consuming British and Brexit politics.

Richard Tice: May’s deal is the worst deal in history

For nothing in return, by way of a guaranteed free trade deal, the Prime Minister is willing to hand over at least £40 billion, potentially £60 billion.

May’s choice today. The possibility of her Government collapsing soon…or the probability of it doing so now

The DUP hates the idea of Corbyn in Downing Street. But it is very hard to imagine it waving the draft deal through.

How a Brexit deal would be done

What will happen this week? When could a summit take place? What would the Cabinet say – and what might the Attorney General do?

Iain Dale: What was hung around May’s neck in this week’s 1922 meeting was… a garland

Plus: Chinese whispers, Whitehall moves – and a Budget that is set to target business rather than taxpayers.
