Both Johnson and the rebels want a compromise on the UK Internal Market Bill – so it looks as though we’ll get one

It looks as though we are in the territory supported by this site on Monday – Government support for something not unlike the Neill amendment.

As youth unemployment grows, can Sunak come to the rescue (again)?

The Chancellor has ruled out extending furlough. Perhaps German and French schemes will provide his next source of inspiration.

Sam Hall: Extinction Rebellion is completely wrong in its approach to climate change

We need a credible plan to reach net zero by 2050. A great prize is within our grasp, but XR is alienating the public.

The changes that Cox wants from the Government to the UK Internal Market Bill

They confirm that the Government and its critics aren’t that far apart – and Ministers are now distancing themselves from claims of illegality.

Why Conservative MPs should vote to amend the UK Internal Market Bill

What made the Government play into the hands of the EU by casting itself as a law-breaker when its own version of events suggests it isn’t?

By Paul Goodman | 14 September 2020 at 6:40 am | 278 comments

What would have happened if Johnson hadn’t signed the Withdrawal Agreement?

Either an election would have taken place, with a less good result for the Conservatives. Or the Commons would have settled on a second referendum.

What the new Anglo-Japanese trade deal tells us about ‘Global Britain’

It spotlights both the challenges involved in operating an independent trade policy and the limited political rewards of doing so.

Belgium hasn’t “flattened the curve” – and should not be used to justify UK curfews

The Government’s approach has been modelled on the country, even though its cases have continued to rise.

By Charlotte Gill | 11 September 2020 at 2:00 pm | 98 comments

A problem for Johnson. The Agreement he concedes is flawed is one that he signed.

When such Brexiteers as Michael Howard and Norman Lamont are tearing into you over international law, you have just a bit of problem.

By Paul Goodman | 11 September 2020 at 6:40 am | 355 comments

Curfews, fines and marshalls. There’s a flavour about Johnson’s new virus plans not of Churchill, but of Attlee.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is vulnerable to a pincer movement on his plans for a potential carve-out from international law.

By Paul Goodman | 10 September 2020 at 6:40 am | 98 comments

Surprise lockdown measures are unsustainable. At some point, Test and Trace must deliver.

The Government cannot continue to yo-yo between opening and closing society.

Andrew Gimson’s PMQs sketch: Johnson starts to sound like the boss of a tractor plant in Minsk

The Speaker threatened to run Hancock “ragged” if the Health Secretary continues to insult the House.

By Andrew Gimson | 9 September 2020 at 2:30 pm | 49 comments

Is it really worth breaking international law to curb the role of the European Court?

Johnson and Cummings’ previous assaults on the pre-Brexit order have been brilliantly conceived.  This one may not be up to the same standard.

With NHS Test and Trace repeatedly failing to meet targets, confidence in the Government’s tracing strategy is faltering

And with 300,000 users downloading Northern Ireland’s app, it’s unclear to the public why England’s equivalent is taking so long.

By Charlotte Gill | 8 September 2020 at 5:00 pm | 54 comments

The bluffs, gambits, instincts and bottom lines of Johnson’s approach to the EU trade negotiation

It ought to be easier to get a trade deal than reach a Withdrawal Agreement. We suspect one will happen, but here’s why it might not.
