Alastair Stewart: We expats are still under a cloud of uncertainty about our residency rights

I live and work in Spain. My fiancée is an EU citizen. Each of our futures, and our shared plans, are now tangled in a Brexit waiting game.

Rupert Matthews: We don’t just need a good Brexit deal for Britain. We need one for the Falkland Islands too.

They benefit from tariff and quota-free access. If you eat calamari in southern Europe, there is about a 50 per cent chance it is a Falklands squid.

Neil O’Brien: We Conservatives need to refresh ourselves to stop Corbyn. That’s why Onward is being launched.

Even in lefty France, socialist policies are now being dumped by Emmanuel Macron in favour of free markets. Now is the time to develop our next round of big ideas.

Henry Newman: The unified reaction to the Skripal affair suggests talk of Britain’s ‘isolation’ was premature

To listen to some commentators a few weeks ago, you’d have thought it was only EU membership – not shared interests and values – that brings allies together.

J Meirion Thomas: If we are to stop losing our best doctors, we must keep training and retraining them

Some specialist hospitals have made stellar consultant appointments from abroad. However, many doctors relocating here are economic migrants.

Syed Kamall: Ministers must not be cowed by Brussels protestations of unity

Behind the scenes many of Europe’s nations and regions are weighing the cost of a hard Brexit and pushing for a better deal.

Hugo Sugg: I’ve been homeless and live on the edge of poverty. Let’s help others like me with low hours contracts.

I joined the Conservatives six months after this year’s general election, with a vision to help us progress in the area of social equality.

Henry Newman: Voters know Brexit might be messy, but that doesn’t mean they want it called off

Those who still refuse to accept we’re really going to leave the EU are misreading the process, the politics, and the people.

Daniel Hannan: Coercion may be working in Catalonia, but it won’t work here

EU leaders – encourage by a rump of British Europhiles – are pursuing the fantasy that if they bully us enough, we might change our minds.

Garvan Walshe: One hundred years on, the Balfour Declaration casts a shadow on Catalonia

Self-determination always involves conflict. In some cases that is justified, a conflict of necessity. In others it is not.

Daniel Hannan: The tension over Catalonia is a wholly avoidable tragedy for Spain

The tiniest quantum of goodwill would have solved – indeed, might yet solve – the problem. But neither side is willing to display it.

Spain could learn from the UK’s handling of the SNP

It’s unimaginable that Westminster would have acted towards Scotland as Madrid has acted towards Catalonia.

Henry Hill: Brokenshire needs a plan for if the Ulster devolution talks fail

His toothless policy towards the Democratic Unionists and Sinn Fein has created an unsustainable democratic vacuum in Northern Ireland.

John Stevens: Homage to Caledonia

There is a case for the EU guaranteeting internal as well as external frontiers – which would make Scottish independence impossible were the UK to remain an EU member.

Garvan Walshe: Short of sending tanks into the streets, Rajoy couldn’t be handling Catalonia’s crisis worse

The Spanish Prime Minister’s tin-eared reaction to police violence served to heighten, not dampen down, tensions.
