The Commons rejected a customs union with the European Union by only three votes. MPs also rejected a vote in favour of a second referendum by 12 votes and Nick Boles’s Common Market 2.0 plan, the softest possible Brexit, by 21 votes. Straight after the results an emotional Mr Boles announced that he had failed because the Conservatives could not compromise, and quit the party. The votes were much closer than when MPs voted last Wednesday, but still each fell short of a majority. Today the cabinet will meet for a five-hour session in an attempt to plot a route ahead amid speculation that Mrs May could bring back a vote on her deal for a fourth time and link it with a confidence motion in the government. Downing Street would not comment on suggestions that the prime minister could threaten Brexiteers with a general election if they continued to hold out against the deal. – The Times (£) Chaos as warring MPs reject every Brexit option again – The Sun > On BrexitCentral today: Results of the Brexit indicative votes II – Every option rejected once again …leaving Theresa May threatening an election… MPs once again failed to agree on a way forward for Brexit on Monday as Theresa May prepared to use the threat of a long delay or a general election to persuade her party to back her deal. Parliament voted on four alternatives to Mrs May’s deal, including a customs union and a second referendum, without reaching a majority for any of the options on offer. The Tories will now push Mrs May to pivot to a no deal Brexit, but the Prime Minister will hold a marathon five-hour session with her Cabinet on Tuesday in attempt to create unity around her EU Withdrawal Agreement. She will use Monday’s results to impress on ministers and backbench MPs her belief that her deal is the only way to avoid a worse outcome, such as a long delay, a general election or a customs union. MPs came within four votes of approving a customs union on Monday night, as the idea lost by 276 votes to 273. The fact that MPs were again unable to agree an alternative to Mrs May’s deal bought her some temporary breathing space, but a third round of indicative votes will be held tomorrow, meaning Mrs May must act fast to maintain her slender grip on the Brexit process. – Telegraph (£) …as the Cabinet meets for marathon crisis talks today… Theresa May and her bitterly divided cabinet will meet for five hours of crisis talks in a desperate attempt to salvage her EU withdrawal agreement after MPs rejected four variations of a “soft Brexit”. With options including no deal, a general election and a second referendum on the table, ministers will hold a three-hour “political cabinet” without civil servants present and then discuss government business for a further two hours.There is also speculation that Mrs May could bring back a vote on her deal to the Commons for a fourth time and link it with a confidence motion in the government, which many MPs believe would be a kamikaze move. – Sky News May calls for cabinet showdown – Guardian Theresa May and her ministers face stark choices on Brexit – FT (£) …with No Deal now favoured by 14 out of 27 Cabinet members… Yesterday Jeremy Hunt became the latest minister to back a no deal Brexit, meaning no deal is now favoured by 14 out of 27 members of the Cabinet. The Conservatives promised in their general election manifesto that Britain would leave the customs union – a promise that Mrs May has repeated countless times since. However, 10 Cabinet ministers now prefer a customs union to no deal, with three undecided. A letter to Cabinet ministers from Sir Mark Sedwill, the Cabinet Secretary, making gloomy predictions about the consequences of no deal was leaked on Monday in an apparent attempt to rein in hard Brexiteers. Stephen Barclay, the Brexit Secretary, suggested a long extension was now on the cards as he said: “The default legal position is that the UK will leave the EU in just 11 days’ time [with no deal]. – Telegraph (£) …although Philip Hammond thinks Parliament has failed and wants to “put it back to the people in a referendum” The Times understands that Philip Hammond, the chancellor, will tell the cabinet today that the government has to make its own compromise proposal or admit that parliament has failed “and put it back to the people in a referendum” since the party and the country cannot afford an election. Mr Hammond is understood to believe that any compromise would have to involve attaching a customs union to the withdrawal agreement, an option he is “not enthusiastic” about. The Commons rejected a customs union with the European Union by only three votes last night. MPs also rejected a motion calling for a second referendum by 12 votes and Nick Boles’s Common Market 2.0 plan by 21 votes. – The Times (£) Brexiteer ministers to demand May issues final backstop ultimatum to EU or risk Britain leaving with No Deal… Brexiteer Cabinet ministers will today demand Theresa May issue a final ultimatum to the EU to improve the Irish backstop or see Britain leave with No Deal in 10 days time. Some senior Government leavers believe staring down Europe’s leaders at a summit next Wednesday is the PM’s only escape route from her dire dilemma. Mrs May has summoned her deeply divided Cabinet to No10 on Tuesday morning for a mammoth five hour session to try to find a way out of her Brexit dilemma. If she cannot pass her deal at the fourth and final attempt in the Commons this week, the PM will be left with having to choose between softer Brexit expected to be enforced on her by Parliament, or calling a general election. But The Sun has also learned there was a growing consensus in the Cabinet last night to reluctantly accept a customs union if the PM’s deal is defeated by it during a run-off final round of indicative voting- expected on Thursday now. Brexit can at least then be delivered by the end of next month and can be improved over time, the majority of the PM’s top table are now said to think. – The Sun …while Michael Gove tells Tory MPs he would ‘reluctantly’ accept ‘softer’ Brexit over no Brexit at all Michael Gove has told Tory MPs that he would be “reluctantly” prepared to accept a softer Brexit over no Brexit at all as he positions himself as a “pragmatist” in the race for the Tory leadership. The Environment Secretary is said to have told Tory MPs that while he is supporting the Prime Minister’s deal, he would be prepared to accept alternatives if it is voted down by MPs. He is said to have suggested that the deal could be changed over time once Britain has left the European Union, and that the terms of Britain’s departure will not be “permanent”. Liz Truss, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury and another potential leadership candidate, yesterday said that she is not afraid of a no-deal Brexit. She told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “If you look at the parliamentary arithmetic now, it’s not clear that something like a customs union actually commands support. I think that we are well prepared for no deal.” Over the weekend Dominic Raab, a former Brexit Secretary and another leadership candidate, hit back at “smears” by rivals claiming he was a bully. He said that “false claims” are circulating about him. – Telegraph (£) No-deal Brexit now becoming more likely by the day, says Michel Barnier Britain has become more likely in the recent days to crash out of the European Union without a deal, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said. “Over the last days a no-deal scenario has become more likely, but we can still hope to avoid it,” Mr Barnier said, adding the EU was ready to accept Britain staying the EU’s customs union or a relationship akin to the one the EU has with Norway. Speaking at an event in Brussels after the British parliament rejected any alternatives to Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal, Mr Barnier said Britain now had three choices before the 12 April leaving date. He said Britain could still accept the already-negotiated deal, leave without an agreement, or ask for a long extension to Brexit, which would entail organising European Parliament elections in Britain in May. Earlier, the The vice-president of the European Parliament has said “it does look like” a no-deal Brexit is “nearly inevitable”. – RTE Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark Sedwill issues Armageddon No Deal warning Britain’s highest-ranking civil servant has issued a doomsday analysis of how the country would be affected by a No Deal Brexit, as MPs yet again failed to break the deadlock last night… Sir Mark’s bombshell letter to ministers, extracts of which have been leaked to the Daily Mail, comes ahead of a five-hour Cabinet showdown today. In the letter, the Cabinet Secretary says leaving the EU without a deal would hamper the police and security services and lead to the return of direct rule in Northern Ireland. Sir Mark’s 14-page letter warns: No Deal would result in a 10 per cent spike in food prices and the collapse of some businesses that trade with the EU; The Government would come under pressure to bail out companies on the brink; It would hamper the ability of the police and security services to keep people safe; It would lead to the reintroduction of direct rule in Northern Ireland for the first time since 2007; A recession will hit the UK and the pound’s depreciation will be ‘more harmful’ than in 2008; Our legal authorities and judicial system would be put under ‘enormous pressure’. – Daily Mail Support for May’s Brexit deal goes into reverse as Tory Richard Drax apologises for voting for it… Support for Theresa May’s deal started to go into reverse yesterday with a leading Tory backbencher admitting that he wrongly voted for it last week. Brexiteer MP Richard Drax withdrew his support for Theresa May’s Withdrawal Agreement before calling on her to “resign immediately” if she cannot deliver Brexit within days. The Conservative MP for South Dorset took the unusual step of raising a point of order in the Commons to confess he had made the “wrong call” when backing Mrs May’s EU divorce deal in a crucial vote. MPs rejected the Withdrawal Agreement by 344 votes to 286, majority 58, last week with Mr Drax among the Brexiteers who switched to support it having previously opposed the PM’s deal as a whole. Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Drax said: “I do not feel I have misled the House, but I do feel I have not been true to myself. Although doing what I believed to be in the country’s best interests at that moment in time, I quickly realised that I should not have voted with the Government on Friday afternoon.” He apologised to his “friends and colleagues in the DUP”, and said the Government’s deal could have risked the “integrity” of the country. – Telegraph (£) > WATCH: Richard Drax apologises for backing the withdrawal agreement …as Conservative MP Nick Boles quits the party after his ‘soft’ Brexit plan fails… Nick Boles, a former minister, quit the Conservatives on Monday night and walked out of the House of Commons chamber after his alternative plan for Brexit, which involved a Norway-style single market membership, was defeated for a second time. Boles’ voice cracked with emotion as he told the House of Commons that he would no longer sit as a Conservative MP. Raising a point of order, he told parliament: “I have given everything to an attempt to find a compromise that can take this country out of the European Union while maintaining our economic strength and our political cohesion. “I accept I have failed. I have failed chiefly because my party refuses to compromise. I regret therefore to announce I can no longer sit for this party.” While some on the opposition benches in the House of Commons applauded, one MP could be heard saying: “Oh Nick, don’t go, come on.” He had already resigned from his local Conservative party in Grantham and Stamford, where he was facing the prospect of deselection over his soft Brexit views. At the time, he told local members he was “not willing to do what would be necessary to restore a reasonable working relationship with a group of people whose values and views are so much at odds with my own”. – Guardian Nick Boles quits the Conservative Party after his Brexit option is voted down blaming ‘lack of compromise’ – Telegraph (£) …and Brexiteer Tory MP Steve Baker warns he could vote against May’s Government in no confidence motion Brexiteer Steve Baker has warned he could risk bringing down the government by voting against Theresa May’s administration in a no confidence motion. As the civil war in the Conservative Party over Brexit showed no sign of abating, the former minister made the remarks ahead of a series of critical votes in the Commons. While none of the options received majority support from MPs last week, those with the best chance of succeeding involve a softer form of Brexit, such as demanding ministers negotiate for a customs union with the EU. Asked whether he would vote against the government if the prime minister backed a customs union, he replied: “I’m hoping not to reach that point.” Mr Baker told the BBC’s Politics Live that at this point he could “foresee no circumstances” while being a Conservative MP he could move against a Tory government in such a critical vote. He continued: “But we are approaching the point where the stakes are now so very high and so transcend party politics and what this country is about, and the fundamental British value that political power rests on consent, that I think these things are coming on the table. It’s on the table – there’s no point denying things are running away.” – Independent Jeremy Corbyn abandons pledge to end free movement of EU citizens by opting for a super-soft Brexit divorce Labour abandoned their pledge to end free movement of people – enraging Brexit supporters. Jeremy Corbyn sparked fury among many of his MPs by ordering them to vote for a soft Brexit, known as Common Market 2.0. The plan would keep Britain locked in an EU single market and customs union. But furious backbenchers tore into their leader for abandoning the manifesto pledge he ran on just two years ago. Labour MP Kevin Barron tweeted a link to the Labour manifesto stating “free movement will end when we leave the European Union”. He angrily added: “Small reminder of the manifesto that all Labour MPs were elected on in 2017. Clearly states that we will end freedom of movement when we leave the EU. “That is not compatible with supporting Common Market 2.0.” Labour MP Caroline Flint also lashed the leadership. She said: “Pledges are important. Below is what Labour said in the GE2017 Manifesto and so did I. If we adopt his CM2/Norway option freedom of movement will stay the same. I won’t vote for it.” – The Sun Brussels bid to squeeze £9bn Brexit payment from UK if we leave the EU without a deal Britain could be forced to stump up billions of pounds to the EU even if we leave with a No Deal Brexit, it emerged today. Even if we leave with no agreement in place, then Brussels will still squeeze us for £9billion pounds (around €10bn), it was reported. A senior EU source told RTÉ News: “We hope to have it wrapped up this week.” They said the Treasury had indicated it could pay up paying for the rest of the year so British farmers can still get grants and officials will get their pensions paid. Some MPs have vowed not to pay the EU a penny if we leave without a deal. Brexiteers have insisted they shouldn’t get their hands on it until they agree to give us a trade deal as promised. But a No10 spokesperson confirmed that Britain would still have to pay something no matter what – but claimed it wouldn’t be as high as the £39billion that we’ve said we will pay in the Brexit divorce bill. – The Sun MPs kick-start plans to hold European elections if 12th April Brexit deadline is not met Ministers kick-started plans to hold European elections in May – with MPs poised to force through a lengthy delay to Brexit this week. De-facto deputy PM David Lidington gave councils the green light to start preparations for holding the elections on May 23 as a “contingency” measure. Mr Lidington said returning officers would be reimbursed by Whitehall for “reasonable” expenses incurred to prepare for the poll, which takes place almost three years after the UK voted to leave the European Union. He stressed that “it remains the intention for the UK to leave the EU with a deal and not take part in the European parliamentary elections in May”. But in a letter to the Electoral Commission, Mr Lidington said: “I am able to confirm that Cabinet Office will reimburse reasonable spending by returning officers on contingency preparations for European Parliament elections.” Advice issued to returning officers, the local officials responsible for running elections around the country, said that the rejection of Theresa May’s Withdrawal Agreement by MPs on Friday meant “the opportunity to guarantee that the UK would not participate in EP elections has been removed”. – The Sun Varadkar, Merkel and Macron set for emergency Brexit talks Ireland’s Leo Varadkar will meet Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel for emergency Brexit talks this week as EU leaders look to shield themselves from the political chaos in Britain. The Irish Prime Minister is to hold discussions with the political heavyweights this week as the chance of no deal Brexit edges closer. The German chancellor is expected to demand a plan to protect Ireland’s border if the UK leaves the EU without a deal during talks with Mr Varadkar on Thursday in Dublin. This will come after Mr Varadkar has met Mr Macron in Paris on Tuesday. Prime Minister Theresa May is struggling to contain rising tensions with her Cabinet as the clock counts down to the latest EU deadline on April 12. MPs will tonight wrest control of the Brexit process for a second day in order to try to find a majority for an alternative way forward that could break the parliamentary deadlock over Mrs May’s proposed deal. – Express Juncker calls David Cameron ‘one of the great destroyers of modern times’ Jean-Claude Juncker branded David Cameron “one of the great destroyers of modern times” and said the former British prime minister had banned the European Commission from playing any role in the Brexit referendum campaign. Speaking to the regional parliament in the German state of Saarland on Monday, the Commission president said: “We know now what the British parliament does not want. But we haven’t yet been able to find out what they do want. In comparison to the British parliament, a sphinx is an open book. We need to get the sphinx talking. We’ve had enough of the long silence.” He used similar language before the European Parliament plenary last week. “We were forbidden from being present in any way in the referendum campaign by Mr. Cameron, who is one of the great destroyers of modern times. Because he said the Commission is even less popular in the U.K. than it is in other EU member states.” – Politico Nigel Dodds: The voters got it right on Brexit. But we joined as one – so we must leave as one The DUP believes the referendum result must be implemented. To do otherwise would undermine democracy in this country with calamitous consequences. We believe that just as we joined the Common Market as one country so we must leave the EU as one country. We also believe the decision to leave the EU was the right one. It is not Brexit per se that is the cause of the difficulties. Where the country finds itself is due entirely to the failure of this government to implement the Brexit referendum result in a proper and sensible way. The Prime Minister’s withdrawal deal and the awful choices before us were not inevitable. But terrible decisions resulted in a deal which is the worst of all worlds, alienating both leave and remain voters. It has been rejected three times. And it hasn’t changed since November. It remains fundamentally undermined by the backstop provisions that come into force automatically after the transition period. The Government should go to the EU and fight for the measures that would unite its MPs and us. The DUP has been clear throughout that we want a deal that works for all parts of the UK and for the EU. But it must be a deal that protects the Union. We will not accept any deal which poses a long term risk to the integrity of the UK. – Nigel Dodds MP for the Telegraph (£) Henry Newman: Parliament’s refusal to decide hands the next big decision to Brussels If all Conservative MPs had voted with the Government last Friday, Brexit would have been secured. Instead power has been handed to Brussels, with the EU deciding what comes next. At the European Council meeting on 22nd March, leaders agreed that the UK could have an extension of Article 50 until 22nd May, but only if the Commons passed the Withdrawal Agreement last week. That didn’t happen. So the new default is a No Deal exit on 12th April – unless a further extension is secured. After Friday’s vote, Donald Tusk announced that EU leaders will meet for an emergency session on 10th April. Having spent months maintaining that they weren’t really focused on Brexit, there’s now a special summit just to decide what to do next. Although we can guess what might happen, no one actually knows what the 27 leaders will do in conclave. Will they agree an extension? If so, for how long and on what conditions? Every country has to agree to any extension – so Lithuania could in theory determine the path of Brexit. The UK will also have to accept any extension. The Prime Minister might refuse to agree a long extension, as she has previously hinted. But Parliament, under Sir Oliver Letwin’s direction, will surely attempt to instruct her to do otherwise. And several key Cabinet figures, including the Lord Chancellor, have made clear that they would leave the Government if it sought to pursue No Deal. On the other hand, she could face a Cabinet revolt if she agrees a long extension. – Henry Newman for ConservativeHome Janet Daley: If this is what it looks like when Parliament seizes power, maybe Theresa May’s Brexit deal isn’t so bad Parliament seized power – and then couldn’t do anything with it. There is a kind of justice in that. They nearly wrecked the constitutional arrangements of the country and all they got was this hopeless anti-climax. The motions went down like dominoes one after the other. Nick Boles resigned from the party on the spot and won a smattering of applause. It was very dramatic but no less futile for that. The second referendum motion fared badly enough to put it out of the running for serious consideration. Ken Clarke’s customs union came closest to succeeding and he could claim that that was some kind of moral victory but in legislative terms it means nothing. So here we are, back in purgatory. Jeremy Corbyn was trying to argue – sounding rather like a disappointed child in a game – that because the other team got to have another go, he should get one too. But it is looking increasingly implausible that Parliament will ever agree on anything definitive. The irreconcilable Remainers may be talking up their determination to carry on but they risk making themselves look as absurd as the Government has come to appear. – Janet Daley for the Telegraph (£) John Redwood: 50 shades of delay Remain leaning MPs dream of all kinds of delay. Some would accept a short delay, hoping it would lead to another short delay. Some want a long delay. Opposition MPs want a delay for a General election or a second referendum. It is difficult to see the Conservative party in Parliament voting for either a General election or a second referendum A small number of Conservative MPs want a delay effectively for a renegotiation which the EU has not offered. In the recent free vote on delay 200 Conservative MPs refused to back the Prime Minister’s short delay until April 12th, which passed on Opposition votes. Parliament’s indicative votes about a different future from either leaving without the Withdrawal Agreement or leaving with it imply negotiation of a delay. The problem with this approach is that the things they want relate to the second part of the negotiation with the EU as defined by the EU.The EU has made clear the UK has to sign the Withdrawal Treaty Parliament has three times rejected before such talks take place. – John Redwood’s Diary James Forsyth: All Brexit options fail again. So, what happens now? There are those in the Cabinet who think that the government could take the customs proposal from Common Market 2.0, which Labour supported and is for a customs union until alternative arrangements that maintain frictionless trade between the UK and the EU, and see if that can be used to get Labour’s support for May’s deal. This would be unpalatable to many members of the Cabinet, and particularly the Brexiteer ones. But on a theoretical level it doesn’t rule out the UK having an independent trade policy in future—if these alternative arrangements can be found—and for that reason May might hope this proposal could avoid a mass Cabinet walkout. But tonight the Brexit uncertainty has only increased. We now know that the Commons is against Theresa May’s deal, a customs union, Norway Plus, a second referendum, staying in the EU and no deal. But we still don’t know what it is in favour of, let alone what might be able to command a stable majority. – James Forsyth for The Spectator Nick Stanley: It’s not blackmail to point out that stopping Brexit would push our politics to extremes No Brexit last week because Parliament cocked it up, but the Leave rally in London went ahead anyway, and as Channel 4’s Jon Snow surveyed the crowd, he said the thing that was on nobody else’s mind: “I’ve never seen so many white people in one place.” Now, I happen to know that’s untrue because I once met Mr Snow at a Republican convention. He was equally offended then: “What do you think of the show?” I asked. “It’s like Germany in the 1930s!” he replied. I’m coming to the conclusion that Mr Snow, for all his experience and courage, is a bit of an innocent. Both Remain and Leave marches looked quite pale but it doesn’t reflect the complexities of who voted for what (Jess Phillips’s diverse constituency in Birmingham ignored her advice and went for Brexit by 60 per cent). What reportedly distinguished each protest was class, with the Remain event resembling a university graduation and the Leaver one an odd alliance of provincial Tories and the working-class. – Nick Stanley for the Telegraph (£) Andrew Lillico: For the right price, Macron will change his position on extending Article 50 To the delight of ardent Brexiteers, French President Emmanuel Macron has recently indicated that extending the UK’s European Union membership past 12 April is by no means certain and that no-deal next week is a real possibility. Is this just theatre, or could he really mean it? There are four key reasons for Macron to make such noises. First, many EU leaders and members of the European Parliament are fed up of Brexit and fed up of Britain. If push comes to shove they will probably agree to Britain staying in the EU until December 2020, the end of the current budgetary framework period. Under Theresa May’s Brexit deal, Britain was due to stay until then as a non-voting EU member. Their leaders will not necessarily want our membership to continue beyond that date however, otherwise the UK would be involved in the EU’s budget talks for the next period. Furthermore, if it did stay past that date the UK would probably be even more obstructive and negative than it has been in recent years. And within a general election or two a pro-Leave government would take over and the UK would leave anyway. Macron’s willingness to contemplate a no-deal departure for the UK reflects widespread “tired-of-Brexit” sentiments within the EU. It also paves the way for a possible forthcoming decision that Britain will no longer be welcome. – Andrew Lillico for the Telegraph (£) Nile Gardiner: Why liberty-loving Americans back a no-deal Brexit As April 12 approaches, the UK faces a clear choice: leave the EU without a deal, or seek a long extension to Article 50, with the possibility that Britain stays in forever. For the United States, it’s a no-brainer. A no-deal Brexit would be infinitely preferable to Britain being stuck inside the EU. As National Security Adviser John Bolton recently said: “People who worry about the UK crashing out of the European Union – they are going to crash right into the United States. We are standing here waiting to make a trade deal with a United Kingdom independent of the EU.” Bolton, who has the ear of President Trump, has been a robust critic of the EU and is a strong believer in national sovereignty. His pro-Brexit sentiments are widely shared across the administration, and stand in stark contrast to the lacklustre approach taken by officials in Downing Street. In the US, Brexit is widely viewed as a huge positive. At the recent Conservative Political Action Conference, America’s biggest annual gathering of conservatives, support for Brexit was overwhelming, with loud applause for pro-Brexit speakers. In contrast, the EU is increasingly seen as an anti-American monument to big government, high taxes, open borders, supranationalism and bureaucracy. – Nile Gardiner for the Telegraph (£) The Sun: Britain is betrayed in yet another farcical Brexit stalemate — and customs union plan is a shameful sellout by MPs Another farcical Commons stalemate. But at last Labour has picked a side: It chose Remainers — and threw its Leave voters under the Brexit bus. They wanted immigration control: Corbyn says No. They wanted freedom from EU courts: Corbyn says No. They wanted to stop paying Brussels billions: Corbyn says No. They wanted control over our economic future: Corbyn says No. They wanted MPs to respect the referendum: Corbyn says No. In fact, he now wants a second vote. Labour finally turned against Brexit by backing the deviously mistitled “Common Market 2.0”. It is tempting to think some MPs supported it, and the permanent customs union, as an April Fool. But it was mainly cynical calculation, or in some cases rank stupidity. Labour just wants to wreck the Tories. Other dim MPs considered these positions “compromises”. More cunning Remainers suspect either is a route back to EU membership. In fact they would trigger a clamour to do Brexit properly. “Common Market 2.0” effectively means staying in the EU without any say. – The Sun says Brexit in Brief Five main reasons why an EU Customs Union would be the worst choice of all – Greg Hands MP for greghands.com 9 in 10 Leave voters say Establishment has sold them out as Brits call for UK to block soft Brexit and head for No Deal – The Sun Brexit backing MP launches blistering attack on ‘Remainer’ Philip Hammond – Express British MEP stripped of parliament role over Gibraltar ‘colony’ spat – Guardian Germany reveals plans to allow 100,000 British expats to stay even if there’s No Deal Brexit – The Sun
