PM says we mustn’t leave Northern Ireland alone in an EU customs territory. But how can DUP be sure her successor won’t take up EU offer?

Few are tempted by May’s pathetic bribes of extra money or workers’ rights. But history will be unkind to any who help get it over line.

When poker players blink, that often means they have a weak hand. May blinked when confronted with losing control of parliamentary process.

After PM caved into pressure from ministers, chance of crashing out on March 29 is slim. But any delay needs a good reason.

Labour’s support for a new referendum is a necessary condition. But not enough. We now need to build the rest of the coalition.

PM is right about one thing: delay on its own won’t achieve anything. It needs to be for a purpose - and best reason is to ask the people.

Party could ask MPs to vote on its Brexit plan next week. If they say no, Labour may call for people to have final say on whether we quit.

Next week MPs could start process to force May to delay Brexit. But the BBC misleadingly says the vote will be “non-binding”.

Whatever PM does next week, she is in a seemingly losing position. That’s good news for those fighting for a People’s Vote.

Two weeks ago the PM was boasting that she’d reunited the Tories and pundits were writing off the People’s Vote. How the tables have turned.

PM is promising non-existent Brexit dividend to bribe Labour MPs. The way to get cash for “left-behind” communities is to stay in the EU.

With May not taking Labour’s plan seriously, Starmer says MPs should vote on it. If they say “no”, Labour can back a People’s Vote.
