Cabinet

With Brexit’s top cheerleader quitting the Cabinet, voters now know something really bad is going on. We have a good chance to stop madness.

Rather than polishing May’s “turd” or trying to knife her, foreign secretary should quit and campaign for people to get the final say.

Whatever happens, the Cabinet won’t have a deal with the EU. To get one, the PM will have to capitulate even further on her red lines.

It’s often said ministers are wasting time talking among themselves rather than negotiating. Now they aren’t even talking among themselves.

Even if Friday’s Chequers summit papers over divisions among ministers, Theresa May won’t have a proposal that will fly with the EU.

Being told by MPs what to do would be humiliating. But it would help resolve conflicts in her Cabinet and with the EU.

Home secretary’s departure both bad news and good. Loss of a pro-European on frontbench could be offset by a new heavyweight on backbenches.

If PM thinks doubling exit payment offer will settle matter, she’s wrong. Complex details will occupy negotiators throughout talks and beyond.

Cabinet splits respun, while Davis seeks refuge in Brussels, France is accused of seeking to “wreck” the UK and Labour eats cake

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.
