The Moggcast. Deal-or-No-Brexit “becomes the choice eventually…May’s deal is better than not leaving at all”

Rees-Mogg details how the deal is “definitely not” worse than Remain. And: why the Letwin plan is constitutionally “absurd”.

26 March 2019 | 304 comments

Nicky Morgan: Indicative votes. If the Commons can’t reach a Brexit decision, beware a second referendum.

Whatever happens, we will need new leadership for the second stage of any agreement – namely, talks on the Political Declaration.

By Nicky Morgan MP | 25 March 2019 | 183 comments

Paul Bew: Merkel has let alternatives to the backstop out of a bottle. So there’s no putting them back in.

It really is something when a significant part of the EU leadership joins the list of agnostics. No wonder there is nervousness in Dublin.

By Lord Bew | 25 March 2019 | 60 comments

The price May is paying for survival is powerlessness

She yesterday achieved the outcome most likely to prop her up – at least for the time being. But Cooper, Letwin and Bercow are waiting in the wings.

WATCH: Bercow implores MPs to “raise the level” of debate… then orders Leadsom to sit down

The Speaker offers a distillation of his signature style.

Andrew Gimson’s PMQs sketch: May like Cromwell is losing patience with Parliament

The Prime Minister seemed to imply that if MPs will not bend to her will, she is off.

By Andrew Gimson | 20 March 2019 | 104 comments

WATCH: “As Prime Minister, I could not consider a delay beyond 30th June”

“We should look again at being able to leave with a negotiated deal, but in order to do that we need time…”

20 March 2019 | 37 comments

Daniel Hannan: The EU’s anti-democratic culture. First it corrupted other countries. Now it is corrupting Britain.

Even worse is the politicisation of the Speaker’s Chair. The impartiality of Britain’s Speaker was, like the impartiality of its monarch, a given.

By Daniel Hannan MEP | 20 March 2019 | 201 comments

Chris White: Brexit. May’s Commons options after Bercow’s ruling.

There’s little that Conservative MPs can do to stop the Speaker – they don’t have the votes to depose him.

By Chris White | 19 March 2019 | 94 comments

WATCH: Bercow is asked about his Brexit ruling. He talks about bobble hats.

“It’s a very impressive hat that you are wearing, or a hat of sorts. Very well done.”

19 March 2019 | 40 comments

Henry Newman: Bercow has demonstrated he will do anything to frustrate Brexit. So it’s time for MPs to smell the coffee.

Critics of the deal need to compromise and accept the actual choices on offer. Refusal to do so risks an outcome far worse, or no Brexit at all.

By Henry Newman | 19 March 2019 | 108 comments

The moment for which Bercow has waited since he was a tiny boy

The crude effect of his ruling, crafted and sprung on a hapless Downing Street, is to make a third meaningful vote unlikely this week, and perhaps next week too.

By Paul Goodman | 18 March 2019 | 232 comments

WATCH: “The Government cannot legitimately…resubmit to the House the same proposition” – the Speaker kills MV3

“This ruling should not be regarded as my last word on the subject,” Bercow added.

Enter – or rather exit – the Spartans

A dedicated band of Conservative pro-Brexit holdouts stands ready to perish rather than let May’s deal pass.

By Paul Goodman | 18 March 2019 | 189 comments

This Parliamentary farce reveals how much our political class has been infantilised

I expected a Leave victory to be a profound shock and challenge to politicians. They have struggled to adapt even more than I anticipated.

By Mark Wallace | 15 March 2019 | 119 comments
