The prime minister will be the key protagonist in Brexit the movie, but there are parts for everyone.
The Labour leader has cautiously backed a fresh vote – and that’s all parliament needs to get the debate going.
It doesn’t matter that this new formation doesn’t have a policy. The very act of striking out alone is a powerful message about the broken system that has landed the UK in this mess.
As Brexit heads towards breaking point, the British people need to define what they think is in the national interest.
We can’t agree what the ‘will of the people’ was in 2016, but these are the representatives they elected in 2017.
The PM has shown time and again that her political judgement is way off base, yet she claims to know that her deal is the best option.
Theresa May’s Brexit plan has crumbled on contact with the reality of UK and EU politics.
Jacob Rees-Mogg speaks for a minority of a minority, so why are we letting him dictate government policy?
The opposition has shown what happens when principled politics takes charge.
A conciliatory tone from the prime minister but Boris Johnson and Michael Gove continue to cause problems.
Nigel Farage says he is now more open to the idea of a second Brexit referendum. Is that a good or bad idea?
For a full 12 months, this prime minister has encouraged and entrenched harmful divisions, particularly over Brexit.
Her party needed a clear vision for the future but again the PM offered nothing but prevarication.
An alternative vision for British society and a smart move on Brexit made this leader’s speech one for the history books.
Unpicking why Labour has shifted its Brexit strategy to push for single market membership during a transitional period.
Si les conservateurs conservent leur hégémonie, ils perdent leur majorité. Combien de temps pourront-ils se maintenir au pouvoir ?
The Conservatives are still the largest party, but how long can they hold onto power after spectacular miscalculation?
Suspending the political campaigning was the right thing to do but we still have to face this problem.

Expert analysis of that infamous Brexit spat, tactical voting and Diane Abbott's media meltdown.
It will take bravery and vision, but a deal between opposition parties is the only sensible way to respond to a changed political landscape.
In calling a snap election, the prime minister accused her opponents of playing party politics. She should know.
Peers have sent the Brexit bill back to MPs with changes calling for a vote on a final deal, and the protection of EU nationals in Britain.
Let’s draw a line under the political divisions that have defined 2016. We’ll all benefit from a more grown-up discussion in the new year.
