Rob Sutton: Introducing the top 50 Conservative MPs on Twitter

Four members from the 2019 intake make the top 50, beating longer-serving and higher-ranked colleagues.

Why Johnson feels he can ignore his right-wing critics. And how he is backed by a dog that isn’t barking: Conservative MPs.

The political logic of the Prime Minister’s choice is solid enough. But we’re past the stage where his Sunday statement can simply be taken on trust.

Our survey. Is the Cabinet, which must wrestle with the Coronavirus, fit for purpose?

Four in five of our party member respondents say yes. Hunt is top choice to come in from outside – but there’s no strong support for any non-member.

The economy and the virus. Tear up the rulebook – we need Big State Government on a scale unknown in modern times.

How the pro-Leave Spartans, not pro-Remain or pro-Soft Brexit Tories, could end up whipless – and barred from contesting a general election as Conservatives.

Would the Withdrawal Agreement be acceptable without the backstop? 3) Redwood’s response to Barclay

“The Agreement is a very expensive invitation to talks about our possible exit. It does not give us either a clear date for leaving or the terms on which we might eventually be allowed out.”

Would the Withdrawal Agreement be acceptable without the backstop? 2) Barclay’s reply to Redwood

In a letter dated May this year, the Brexit Secretary attempted to assuage concerns about the implications of Theresa May’s deal for the United Kingdom.

Would the Withdrawal Agreement be acceptable without the backstop? 1) Redwood’s letter to Cox

“There is much more I could object to. This is no Treaty to take back control, no Treaty for a newly independent nation.”

Johnson’s real plan. To get a deal – and stuff the Spartans.

Don’t be so distracted by the actors – and all the talk of deselection and elections – as to miss the drama’s bigger picture.

Congratulations – and welcome to hell

The new Prime Minister will inherit the worst political legacy in living memory – with the very barest of working majorities.

From magic circle to one member one vote: a short history of Tory leadership contests

The present election will turn on whether MPs and activists put national popularity before ideological soundness.

Henry Newman: The Tory poll collapse is nothing to do with May’s Withdrawal Agreement. MPs should vote for it – and deliver Brexit

A basic problem remains unaltered – that there is no Commons majority for a No Deal Brexit. This point has been well made by Ann Widdecombe.
