Henry Newman: A Brexit deal isn’t certain, but it’s within reach – and it could still make it through Parliament

The process is hard and risky, but it still seems unlikely that the Labour Party would really torpedo an agreement in the last resort.

Dominic Walsh: The backstop must be temporary. It can’t just be a bridge to…itself.

Cox told the Cabinet that the EU’s admittance that the backstop can be temporary was a step forward. He is right, although the devil will be in the detail.

Jobs, wages – and stubbornly buoyant Conservative poll ratings

Wages are growing at their fastest rate for ten years, and employment is at a near-record high. But qualifications are necessary…

Brexit. It’s time for an end to illusions. May must choose between the backstop and her country.

The key question now for Conservative MPs is whether they can support the UK being trapped in a customs union – and the dismemberment of the Union itself.

Flying frogs

Pro-Brexit MPs weighed a no-confidence vote in Theresa May yesterday evening. But the essential case against one remains unchanged.

The thrills and spills of seeking the EEA port in a storm

We prefer Canada Plus Plus Plus. But a question could emerge over the next few months: is it a better option than an unmanageable No Deal – or even no Brexit at all?

The Canada Plus Plus Plus answer to the Northern Ireland question

The myth has it that there never was such a plan – in fact, DexEU had a proposal to fulfil its promise of no ‘hard border’ while still overseeing a proper customs regime.

Chloe Westley: There must be no compromise on ending free movement

Implementing a fair and controlled skills-based immigration system would be a huge win for the Government – and deliver on a key pledge of the Brexit campaign.

Henry Newman: Yes, we have proposed a voluntary managed alignment in goods. But direct ECJ jurisdiction must end.

Either a new dispute resolution mechanism will be required, or the UK could dock into part of the EFTA court to resolve disputes over goods.

“When each one of us lies choking in his own blood upon the ground”

May’s appeal next week at Chequers will be founded in grinding detail, not Churchillian rhetoric. Key to agreement will be taking Ministers with her and springing no untoward surprises.

Henry Newman: There’s still time for the UK to shape the Brexit negotiations – if the Government gets its act together

That means making overdue decisions, settling internal disputes, and no more campaigning by the Treasury to undermine Brexit policy.

Brexit. What May should do next. Replace Robbins with Davis – and prepare for No Deal.

Since she might not get an acceptable agreement, or indeed any at all, the Government must strain to get Ready for Day One, not Ready for Day 730.

The Brexit negotiation and the Government’s position. There is a glimmer of light.

Davis may not have got all he wanted on the backstop. But for the second time in a few months, he has nudged May forwards. It is high time she made the most of him.

Henry Newman: The more we look back to the referendum, and re-fight its battles, the less we get ready for the future

And most EU member states haven’t spent nearly enough time really thinking what the future relationship between the UK and EU should look like, either.

Henry Newman: No more delays, Prime Minister – it’s time to make a decision on customs

There are two options under consideration. One in particular, the partnership model, is unworkable and unacceptable. It should be put out of its misery.
