I see the DfE still haven't published the document about teachers pay that is effective from September.

Well, that's OK...not as if it's the last week of term or anything...Oh...

When Trump describes the EU as a greater foe than Russia and China, he shows disdain for democracy, human rights and social freedom.

At this crucial turning point in history, you need to pick a side. I know who I'm with, and it's not the dictators.

Not even as toilet paper?

Still think it dubious No.10 using HMRC information (ie."business")for personalised targeted party political purposes.Though thousands of "business",start ups etc aren't really businesses as such.((Direct Payment/Personal budget)

May faces Commons reckoning over cross-border trade bill

It's going tremendously badly it seems.

Even Laura K is openly mocking the Government.

In a nutshell, to avoid a rebellion by the Mogg faction, she's caved on some amendments and provoked a new rebellion on her other flank.

What will it take for the Remain Tories to actually break cover and vote May down?

May said at Chequers that if they didn't accept her proposals the pro-remain rebels would force through a customs union amendment.

So they kind of have to rebel, really, if they want May to be as good as her word.

If the ERG amendments stand, we're back to square one with May having nothing credible to go to the EU with on the Irish Border issue and that means no deal. At least that's how it's looking if Faisal Islam in correct in his interpretation:

Thanks for the analysis.

If ERG amendment goes to a division. & it looks likely, we could see spectacular embarrassment for government: having surrendered to rebel Brexiters of ERG & adopted ERG amendments as its own, it would be amazing if those amendments were lost because of Tory Remainer rebellion!

All getting a bit complicated on the trade bill votes.

I'm assuming we're looking for a Tory pro-remain rebellion on the ERG amendments accepted by the government?

But they don't seem to be pressing for a customs union amendment and presumably won't support Labour's?

It's what authoritarian regimes do preventing damage to their rule. It's not something a responsible government does.

The slightly more sensible tories should all write to the '22 bloke asking for a confidence vote.

So... either the EU accepts what it's previously rejected as magical thinking or no withdrawal agreement and no transition period?

The Tories are now totally trapped. Either they own a catastrophic hard Brexit for which there has been no adequate preparation, or they don't deliver the Brexit 70 per cent of their voters support.
