We will not get the outcome that the people voted for last year.” Mr Davis said Brexit was the single most important deal in the country’s history and that a vote for Jeremy Corbyn would put it in jeopardy – and could also lead to the break-up of the United Kingdom… But he also made an overt pitch to Remainers who want to see the next government make the best fist of the negotiations. “This is not an appeal to the 52 per cent (who voted to leave the EU). This is an appeal to the 100 per cent,” Mr Davis said. – Sunday Express …as Keir Starmer reveals details of Labour’s plan for Brexit if they win the election Sir Keir Starmer will take the lead in face-to-face Brexit talks with the EU’s top negotiator if Labour wins the general election this week… Sir Keir revealed as well that his party would refuse a key Brussels demand for the European Court of Justice to be final guarantor for EU citizens rights after Brexit, but could accept the body having an ongoing role for trade disputes… Asked about who would conduct frontline talks, Sir Keir said: “What Jeremy has done is to indicate that he would want to keep his Brexit team, which is myself, Emily Thornberry and Barry Gardiner, to do that work, with Angela Smith our Leader in the Lords – that has been the essential quartet.” – Independent Keir Starmer is the right person to negotiate Brexit – or at least to hold the Government to account – Independent editorial Lib Dems’ second Brexit referendum pledge failing to attract hardcore Remainers, poll suggests… The Liberal Democrats’ are only managing to attract a small minority votes from “hardcore Remainers” despite their strongly pro-European manifesto, new polling suggests. The analysis, published by the pollster BritainThinks, show the party gaining just 15 per cent of the votes of ardent pro-EU supporters, despite their pledge to hold a second referendum on the terms of leaving the bloc. Meanwhile 55 per cent of those “devastated” about leaving the EU are expected to vote Labour despite the party’s limited opposition to Brexit following the referendum. – Independent Tim Farron pleads with Labour and Tory supporters to ‘lend’ Lib Dems their vote amid fears his party is heading for disaster in the election – PoliticsHome …as Gina Miller launches tactical voting drive to target remain voters Gina Miller, the pro-Europe campaigner, has launched a tactical voting drive in Theresa May’s own seat amid claims that tightening polls show there is no mandate for a “hard Brexit”… Miller told the Observer, “Is she trying to appease Ukip voters and the right of her party, or she is she a Ukipper in disguise?” Attempts to form progressive alliances and encourage tactical voting to limit the Conservative majority have been floundering, largely due to Labour’s refusal to cooperate with local pacts, and the Tories’ huge poll lead early on… Miller’s campaign, which is armed with more than £400,000 in donations, is now backing 36 candidates, including Tony Hall, the Lib Dem candidate in May’s constituency. – Observer Banksy could face police probe after offering voters free prints to people who take polling booth selfies as they vote against Tories – The Sun Nigel Farage could return as UKIP leader if Brexit ‘unfinished’ Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage has hinted he will return to front line politics in two years’ time if Brexit is “unfinished”… Asked if he regretted not standing as a candidate in this election, Mr Farage said he did not. But when quizzed on whether he might be tempted to run for UKIP leader once again, he said much would depend on Theresa May. “Would I rule out ever coming back to the front line again? That depends on whether this Prime Minster delivers,” Mr Farage said. – Sky News Haakon Overli: British entrepreneurs should feel upbeat about the post-EU future There is every reason to be upbeat. Despite the uncertainties of the political and economic climate, last year saw more people in Britain launch their own businesses than ever before, with over 650,000 new ventures registered with Companies House… Nor should we overlook the basics – the independence and strength of the UK’s legal system is a powerful driver of business stability. Brexit will not undermine that appeal in any way… [I]t is vital that we now focus on what entrepreneurship can achieve, rather than wasting time and energy dwelling on the negative aspects of Brexit. – Haakon Overli for the Sunday Telegraph (£) Tim Stanley: Why this ‘bloody difficult woman’ is the right choice to deliver Brexit One issue matters most in this election: Brexit. We need a prime minister who is a tough negotiator, and having gone toe-to-toe with the Prime Minister myself (more on that later), I can confirm that Theresa May has the requisite stubbornness. Jeremy Corbyn, by contrast, is no Henry Kissinger… Theresa May is a different kind of politician. Jeremy Paxman accused her in an interview of being a “blowhard who collapses at the first sign of gunfire”. Mrs May told him to look at her record as home secretary, when she often had to negotiate with her 27 counterparts in the EU. Well, Ian Wishart at Bloomberg has scrutinised that record and concludes that she “was seen as a politician who was on top of her file, understood the details and could form alliances with European counterparts”. – Tim Stanley for the Sunday Telegraph (£) Brexit comment in brief Brexit and tax to be Tory focus in campaign’s final days – James Forsyth for the Spectator Coffee House What does a ‘no deal’ Brexit really mean?
