David Davis

May avoided confrontation with Davis by putting an unrealistic end-2021 timetable on her backstop. She’ll get confrontation with EU instead.

Double-speak has reached new depths. Cabinet ministers are squabbling over whether a “time-limited” backstop should have a time limit.

Davis has a new cockamamie wheeze to avoid border controls in Ireland. If this was April 1 not June 1, Max Fac 2 would clearly be a joke.

Brexit means Brexit, but UK won’t accept that makes security cooperation harder. Does Brexit mean putting UK and EU citizens at risk?

PM’s latest bid to exorcise her Brexit demons sees her dividing her “war cabinet” into two sub-committees. More delays as the clock ticks.

David Davis has just admitted MPs can amend law to approve deal. If it isn’t up to snuff, they should ask voters what they think.

Brexit secretary wants clarity on future relationship with EU before we quit. If more detail emerges people will wonder: “What’s the point?”

Davis welcomes “joint committee” for new EU laws affecting UK in transition. This is flimsy response to “vassal state” fears.

As Brexit ayatollah grabs headlines by trashing civil servants, he inches towards becoming PM. But if he ever got the job, he wouldn’t last.

PM picks unnecessary fight with EU over migration. She’ll probably have to u-turn again. If she digs heels in, Brexit process could explode.

It’s hard to see any good coming from PM’s lack of leadership. It’s not in national interest. It mightn’t even save her own skin.

Financial services firms are being kept in dark on Brexit. If they want concerns heard, messages must reach voters - not just EU capitals.
