Brexit deal news: Theresa May’s plea for help slapped down by three top German politicians
Germany delivered a triple rebuff to Theresa May’s pleas to change her stricken Brexit deal today. As the Prime Minister flew early to a two-day Brussels summit to ask leaders individually to rescue the agreement with new legal assurances on the backstop, three big names came out with warnings that they are not willing to go that far. German interior minister Stephan Mayer, European commissioner Guenther Oettinger and senior MEP Elmar Brok all said that a political clarification was possible but not a legally-watertight change to the agreement.

If the remain campaign makes the same mistakes again, it will lose again
Theresa May has survived a vote of no confidence from her own party and is safe from a leadership challenge for at least 12 months. Or, more likely, article 50 will be extended and decision-making on Brexit returned to the electorate, either through a general election (my preference), a second referendum, or indeed some combination of both. As the likelihood of Labour taking over Brexit negotiations fades, the party may well have to start war-gaming its response to a three-way choice between bad deal, no deal, or no Brexit.

Labour and Tories reject Theresa May's call for cooperation
Theresa May’s appeal for cross-party unity to halt the deepening Brexit crisis appears to have been rejected after the former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith said there was “no way on earth” the public wanted the Tories teaming up with Jeremy Corbyn. The Tory rebel, who had been gathering plotters in his office hours before the vote that could have ended May’s premiership, said the party needed the prime minister to threaten to walk away from the deal, not reach out to Labour. “If you think you can reach out to the Labour party with the leadership they have got at the moment you must be living in a mad place, because there is no way on earth the public want to see us deal with the Labour party,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

Royal dress code: The Queen and her family’s rules, from shorts and tiaras to nude nail varnish
After the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle wore black nail polish to the Fashion Awards on Monday night, traditionalists sniffed that she'd broken a royal rule banning colourful manicures (there goes Prince Andrew's Christmas Day look). In case you've ever wondered, here's why Prince George is always seen in shorts, only married women wear tiaras and why bare legs are (mostly) off limits. Apparently the Queen prefers royal women to go bare or wear a subtle neutral polish.
