Fantastic beasts: 5 unicorns in Tory race that need slaying
Tory leadership contenders are promoting a host of fantasy Brexit ideas. Here are five of their unicorns that need slaying.
If May’s gutsy, she can save a desperate situation
She could offer Labour a referendum on her deal - and then hang on as PM even as she was kicked out as Tory leader.
PM like rabbit frozen in headlights over extra time
With May clueless on both reason for delaying Brexit and how much time she wants, MPs could take control and tell her what to do.
Daily Mail and Dorries must drop vicious language
May’s attack dog tabloid has branded Major a “sticky adulterer” and Donnelly a “wheedling little man”. Insults show Mail has lost argument.
Death threats against Andrea Leadsom are despicable
Bully-boy tactics don’t work and we don’t need to use them. We will win this battle because we are doing the right thing for the UK.
10 Tory cabinet ministers who deserve pro-European votes
Influential Remainers could be last line of defence if May tries to crash out with no deal. See our league table of the good, bad and ugly.
Farming and fishing could be next devolution fault-lines
Brexit doesn’t just raise knotty issues over Scottish independence and the Irish border. Who will get powers reclaimed from the EU?
Which Brexiters are hypocrites on EU citizens’ rights?
During the referendum, Leavers defended EU migrant rights. Now many pro-Brexit MPs aren’t practising what they preach. Read our dossier.
Leavers are all quitters: undermining referendum legitimacy
Leadsom and Johnson weren’t defeated. They ran away from responsibility. Nobody’s left to hold to account for their false promises.
Internal security mustn’t be sacrificed on Brexit altar
EU helps UK fight terrorism, cyber crime, human trafficking, drugs and child pornography. A way must be found to continue cooperation.
Leadsom isn’t UKIP, but she’s too close for comfort
Would-be PM is backed by Farage, hasn’t ruled out giving him a job and shares his views on EU, gay marriage and fox-hunting.
Leadsom is best chance to stay in EU – but at huge cost...
Her zealotry and inexperience could tank economy and split Tories, paving way for new referendum or elections. Not something to wish for.
