The term doesn’t mean it doesn’t meet EU standards. Just that Brexiters want to insist they have the right to diverge, even if it were madness to do so.

Last night's episode of Newsnight (11 May), left viewers open-mouthed after Alastair Campbell and Victoria Derbyshire seemingly got into a stand-off over Brexit. / “Sorry, you bring these people on, you never challenge them, you let them talk utter rubbish about Brexit and it’s happened on the BBC for year after year after year”, blasted.

We could end up with tonnes of fish that Brits don't even like and no way of selling them to the EU before they rot.

If not, and the vote is to exit, it will be no good saying afterwards that “we didn’t understand what we were voting for” – the repeated complaint made by eurosceptics about the 1975 Referendum. By then it will be too late.

Judges advise Britain that separating archipelago from Mauritius in 1960s was wrong.

A deal for joint sovereignty over Gibraltar between Spain and Britain should be revived as Brexit looms, former Europe minister Peter Hain has said.

Report by the European Council on Foreign Relations says that more people see bloc as a key partner than the US.

The EU committee said the single market and cross-border travel were vital to the territory's economy, and warned the UK government not to let Spain use trade talks to claim sovereignty.

No-deal looms as deadline little more than a month away.

In the years since the referendum, it has become a myth that the impetus behind Brexit was a demand for pure sovereignty, with any economic effects being irrelevant. It’s not true, because many of the Vote Leave arguments were economic, whilst the effort put in to discrediting ‘Project Fear’ shows that Brexiters realised that ‘sovereignty at any cost’ would not have enough appeal to win the vote.

We have traded real influence for an empty husk of sovereignty.

As expected, the UK prime minister, Boris Johnson, and his Australian counterpart, Scott Morrison, have now agreed “in principle” to a free trade agreement. The fine details are still not out in the open, but the political and economic significance of the deal is becoming clearer.

Martin Wolf: Britain’s demands for its negotiations with the EU are unrealistic.

Deep within the Northern Ireland protocol bill, ministers are making a sinister grab for yet more unchecked powers.

And why none of them actually stack up.

Now that it’s a reality, can an esteemed historian produce convincing arguments for the UK’s departure from the EU?
