The flaming wreckage of The Deal is all around us (yet again) but what happens next? Can Theresa May salvage anything from her plans and career? Is there enough turd polish around to give the Deal another go-round? What even is Malthouse 2.0? And is it democratically necessary to give the people the option to vote for catastrophe?

What do defections to the Independent Group for Theresa May's Brexit negotiations? Will Middle Eastern leaders help their European counterparts find peace in Sharm El Sheikh at this weekend's summit?

Richard Harrington also dismisses the so-called Malthouse compromise, which is intended to bridge Tory divisions.

Insisting that all will somehow be well if Brexit goes through now is an abdication of responsibility.

The plan has brought some Tory unity, but Brussels believes it is unworkable.

It’s difficult to feel anything other than bewilderment and dismay at the events unfolding in Britain.
