Tory moderates are mulling which Brexiteer to back to replace Theresa May. Their choice, Amber Rudd, is not set to stand, so now they’re discussing who the “least bad” Leaver is. They fear that the Tories will be doomed if “so right-leaning” Raab gets it. businessinsider.com/theresa-may-co…
At a lunch of moderate Tory MPs this week, “everyone” agreed May must go. Attendee said: “I can't think of a single MP who wants her to stick around. It used to be the ERG but moderates are saying it... Even usually loyal junior ministers were saying it.” businessinsider.com/theresa-may-co…
Amber Rudd is regarded as a potential “king maker” in the Consevative leadership contest. Who she backs will likely receive the support of swathes of moderate Tories. Gove, Hunt have already been in touch with her, I’m told. businessinsider.com/theresa-may-co…

Big news on Labour whipping for indicative votes:

• Labour MPs *whipped* to vote FOR: Corbyn’s alt plan, Beckett’s public vote, and the 2 customs union amendments (Snell, Clarke)

• Corbyn will be voting FOR Common Market 2.0 and is “encouraging” Labour MPs to do the same
There's some annoyance among Common Market 2.0 backers that Corbyn isn't whipping for it (yet)

"Labour whip and Tory free votes and we would’ve done some serious damage today," one MP supporting it says
Starmer says Common Market 2.0 is not Labour's "preferred" Brexit *but*...

"We do recognise that it would deliver a close economic relationship with European Union.. It'd protect jobs... It is credible and deliverable. It should remain an option."

The People’s Vote campaign has published new material which takes aim at the Brexit models being voted on today, including Common Market 2.0 and Labour’s CU plan.

“A PV is not one option in this Brexit crisis, it is a reasonable and democratic solution to the crisis.”
This last one standing approach has been PV campaign strategy for some time. Senior insiders call it “remorseless logic” - every Brexit option falls, leaving a referendum as the only solution. businessinsider.com/peoples-vote-c…
People’s Vote MP Margaret Beckett says that she’d be prepared to vote for “some form” of Brexit deal to avoid no-deal, as long as it goes back to the people for a referendum.

The EU must be wondering why they bothered
I take it back! In all seriousness, that’s a massive result, both in terms of Brexit (paves the way to a softer deal) and historical precedent. HMG has well and truly lost control now. For the PM to lose the likes of Morgan, Green is a disaster.
A minister says this “probably” leads to MPs backing Common Market 2.0 or something similar

Oh, there was a battle, a war between death and life
And there on a tree, the Lamb of God was crucified
And He went on down to hell, He took back every key
He rose up as a lion and He set all captives free

There ain't no grave
Could hold His body down
Oh, fear is a liar with a smooth and velvet tongue
Fear is a tyrant, he's always telling me to run
Oh, love is a resurrection and love is a trumpet sound
Love is my weapon, I'm gonna take my giants down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
He walked out of the grave.
I'm walking too.

Tory Racism - a thread. Not just any ordinary Tory though. Sure most parties have bad elements to deal with, but everyone in this list aspires to national or local leadership. Ask yourself, if the leaders are like this, what reflection is that of the whole party? #GetTheToriesOut
In 1989 David Cameron, fresh from making hang Mandela T-shirts, was given a paid-for jolly to South Africa, by a group lobbying for the apartheid sanctions to be lifted. He eventually apologised for this…17 years later. #GetTheToriesOut
In 2001, prior to becoming health minister, Andrew Lansley gave this statement to The Telegraph. #GetTheToriesOut

This is a drop in the ocean & just spin until we know full numbers deported, detained & those hounded out of their home country by the home office. Apology is crocodile tears & an insult to people still not given hardship fund, left jobless, homeless & unable to afford food.
Home Office covering up scale of the scandal by consistently refusing to answer my questions, including those to the PM back in April. This will all be viewed as just spin until every single person affected gets an apology and compensation.
According to @sajidjavid 6,507 people contacted the #Windrush taskforce, were considered possible #Windrush and referred for a call back to progress their case. 2,272 people have now been given documentation confirming their status.

There is a detectable wry smile on @theresa_may's face as she thanks her departing Foreign and Brexit Secretarys' in a statement to a packed Westminster house. /1
Her statement on the Chequers Proposal is detailed, dense and nuanced - a bit like one of her set piece speeches, albeit with 90% less Cakeism. /2
This doesn't mean the EU will accept it of course. But that's an issue for another day. Right now it is telling that @LiamFox, the Brexiteer Trade Sec. is sitting beside her. /3
