Under cover of the pandemic, his inner circle is sidelining elected MPs and pushing through laws with no scrutiny

Former Attorney General Geoffrey Cox has said he will vote against the government's attempts to override the Brexit withdrawal agreement when it comes before the Commons.

Former attorney general lashes out as Tory rebellion gathers pace.

Johnson risks unconscionable harm by ripping up treaty, says former attorney-general.

Concerns raised after reports negotiating team told to devise plans to ‘get around’ protocol in withdrawal agreement.

Unchecked, unbalanced and channelling an unsavoury populism, a prime minister that I’ve helped to keep in check in the courts could soon be free to do whatever he pleases

As Parliament returns in righteous anger ... the Remainiacs team reconvene to find out if everything really has changed. / Should the Labour Party be grateful that the Supreme Court furore took the spotlight off the Brexit stitch-up at its conference? Who spiked Geoffrey Cox’s latte with crazy juice and how did Barry Shearman handle it? ... And why won’t Boris Johnson resign?

Dominic Cummings described talks as a 'sham' leak claims.

The Attorney General confirmed that in a No Deal Brexit, article 24 of GATT cannot be invoked unilaterally by the UK; and the EU can't and won't participate bilaterally. No Deal means the end of tariff free trade between the UK and EU - #Boris is wrong.

Chancellor sceptical about request as Tories discuss leaving EU without deal. / The home secretary, Sajid Javid, has demanded more than £1bn extra funds for police and border force officials to cope with a no-deal Brexit in a request met with scepticism by the chancellor, Philip Hammond.

Geoffrey Cox admits Theresa May will be forced to accept Article 50 extension longer than 'just a few weeks or months' - paving way for new cabinet bust-up

May’s last-gasp dash to Strasbourg, the midnight press conference with Juncker... EU officials and politicians looked on with growing incredulity.

On Monday morning Martin Selmayr, the secretary general of the European Commission, was in mid-flow briefing EU ambassadors on how efforts over the weekend to get legally binding assurances on the Irish backstop had ground to a halt.

The booming baritones of Cox and Bercow bookended a busy week in Westminster, Brussels and Dublin (with a bit of Washington DC in there too). It saw the sinking of MV2, the vote against no-deal and a UK Government whipping against its own motion.

So the government has lost the meaningful vote on the Withdrawal Agreement by a massive margin - AGAIN - and now what? Should we celebrate? How will Brussels react? What are the options for and chances of extending the Article 50 two year deadline?

Last night’s Brexit negotiations were a charade and will ensure the prime minister is defeated in tonight’s vote

Attorney general Geoffrey Cox has said that the UK can still be trapped in the ‘Irish backstop’ so hated by Conservative MPs, despite changes to the Brexit deal won by Theresa May.

The UK worries about being “trapped” in a backstop – but can’t present an alternative. / Toxic language is defining the Brexit debate. It is turning an intensely complex and complicated subject into something being argued over emotionally, certainly in the UK.

Brexit negotiations "have been difficult" and "no solution has been identified" to the Irish backstop, the European Commission has said.

The Attorney General explains in parliament that though there is no obligation in EU law to honour the £39bn commitment, there is in international law.
