Tugendhat, Morgan, Halfon elected. The new power of the Select Committees.

They already elect their chairmen and there will be fewer trips abroad – at least when the Commons is sitting. That means more scrutiny of what Ministers are up to.

Tory MPs, the Repeal Bill, high motives for backing it, and a lower one too: self-preservation

They will want to ask themselves if they really want to spurn last year’s referendum result and the Party’s manifesto commitment.

Mercer and Tugendhat show Parliament’s new generation is on the march

Over two-thirds of Tory MPs have joined the Commons since 2010. Now they are starting to flex their muscles.

Wanted: a revived campaign for Brexit of all parties and none. Without it, Remain may snatch victories from defeat.

The news is not all bad for supporters of Leave. But a weakened Government needs third party support to deliver not so much a Soft or Hard Brexit as a clean one.

Mohammed Amin: The Government should now agree a Brexit position with other parties and the devolved administrations

The future may or may not be bright. But either way, the future’s Brexit.

For all the chatter about the Customs Union, leaving the EU in full is still on course. But May’s bungled election has raised the chances of a disorderly outcome.

Sarah Ingham: After this election result, support for a second referendum on Brexit is gaining ground

Since when did voting for a party mean endorsing every policy in any election manifesto? Especially when large chunks of the Tory offering are in the shredder.

By Dr Sarah Ingham | 14 June 2017 | 284 comments

Alex Morton: May must not turn into Major

She cannot be a stationary establishment figure when faced with the restless mood of the voting public. She must move forwards – or we risk a 1997-style wipeout.

By Alex Morton | 14 June 2017 | 112 comments

Adapt to survive. How May must share power with her Cabinet, Tory MPs, Party members and the Commons.

Davidson should have a standing invite to attend Political Cabinet, and be encouraged to speak her mind – on Brexit, the DUP and anything else.

Christopher Howarth’s Guide to Brexit: Henry VIII would have coveted the EU’s powers – not these clauses in the Great Repeal Bill

Rebecca Lowe Coulson: Let’s hope that candidates for the Commons are treated better this time round

If the parties support campaigners appropriately, then there will be good to be gained from this election.

By Rebecca Lowe | 26 April 2017 | 22 comments

Edward Faulks: This opportunity to repeal the Human Rights Act, quit the ECHR and bring justice home may not come again

There are good reasons for placing all this in the “too difficult” box. But if Brexit was about anything, it was about sovereignty.
