Wherever you look - in the no-deal Brexiter ranks, in the ERG, in the DUP, in the People’s Vote, in the Cooper-and-Boles club, things are appalling and lifeless and inadequate.

As expected, the DUP stepped in to protect the prime minister. The Labour leader is now at exactly the point he wanted to avoid: the moment when he has to come up with a Brexit policy which does not involve him pretending that a general election would somehow magically fix everything.
