Sighs of relief that Biarritz summit didn’t end in discord between US and its allies. But at some point Johnson will have to pick sides.

Johnson is in danger of over-estimating the German Chancellor’s desire to reach a sensible solution to Brexit - just like his predecessors.

We still have some influence despite having a lame-duck PM just as the EU chooses its new presidents. How much more we’ll have if we stay.

Brussels talks now mean no-deal crash out won’t happen on Friday and longer extension still on table. Time to take back control from PM.

French president’s proposals explode Brexiter myth that EU is stagnant. UK is stronger inside the club, building it for the future.

French president defended rules-based international order which Trump is undermining. Is this a good time to distance ourselves from EU?

When France and Germany applied pressure on Putin over Syria ceasefire, May was nowhere. Brexit is looking like ticket to irrelevance.

The creeping damage of Brexit has continued in the first weeks of 2018, with JLR reducing production and France gunning for UK jobs.

In BBC interview, French president seemed to agree UK can get a “bespoke special solution”. But this isn’t PM’s idea of “bespoke” deal.

Macron, Tusk and Juncker have said in past week that we can stay in EU if we wish. Now we just have to convince people it’s a good idea.

As another French president made clear half a century ago, the UK either lives under Europe’s common laws or goes its own separate way.

From Macron to Trump, it’s clear Brexit is putting UK on back foot on global stage. Before referendum we were punching above our weight.
