Theresa May

PM’s posturing obscures suspicion he has no clue where he wants to go. His facile positions can’t be construed into a discernible policy.

Johnson will struggle to “deliver” Brexit, “unite” party and country, or “defeat” Corbyn. Far better to say “No to Boris, yes to Europe”.

That’s just one of the foreign policy issues Johnson and Hunt need to be quizzed on in coming weeks.

There’s an almighty tussle raging for EU’s top jobs and policies over next five years. But Brexit has sidelined UK in tomorrow’s key summit.

Pro-Europeans are latching onto Johnson’s challenger, like a drowning person clutching straws. Much better to fight hard to stay in EU.

PM will raise climate change with US president in bid to appear global leader on issue. Fat chance while Brexit undermines UK’s credibility.

We still have some influence despite having a lame-duck PM just as the EU chooses its new presidents. How much more we’ll have if we stay.

Johnson could be PM by end of summer. But winter is coming. If he crashes out with no deal or loses an election, he’ll lose the prize.

She could offer Labour a referendum on her deal - and then hang on as PM even as she was kicked out as Tory leader.

May says MPs who want a new referendum should vote for her legislation and try to amend it. They have better ways to enforce their will.

Now PM’s talks with Corbyn are over, it’s unclear if “indicative votes” will go ahead. But leaked version of her plan is full of unicorns.

Will the PM get her deal over the line on the fourth try? If she fails, will she quit? Or will the crisis just drag on and on?
