Johnson is whipping up emotions to prepare for an election. This isn’t just cynical; much of what he says is false and he must know it.

Von der Leyen’s comments show UK is still welcome - but Johnson’s Brexit plan isn’t. Even more reason to say “No to Boris, yes to Europe!”

As May seeks a second extension, pro-Brexit politicians and press are blaming everyone but themselves. This is a mess of their making.

MPs have shown they can force through a law against the government’s wishes. They may need to do so again before Brexit is done and dusted.
