The 1922 committee of backbench Tory MPs have inflicted yet another humiliation on @theresa_may. Their committee led by Graham Brady have asked her to set out a “schedule and timetable” for her departure in all circumstances, ie whether or not her Brexit deal is...
approved by MPs. And Brady reminded Tory MPs of their right to send him letters calling for her to go. This is not the same as insisting she name a precise date for her resignation. But it is a wafer’s wafer away from that. I asked Brady if there was any...
precedent for Tory MPs putting pressure like this on a serving PM to resign and he could not think of one.

So #Brexit has become a game of semantics.

So Sir Graham Brady wants " legally binding guarantee that the Irish backstop could only be temporary."

But what does that mean? /1

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
Is he leaving space to accept the Tusk-Junker letter of Jan 14 being written into a codicil?

That's been on offer for a while. Article 50 (and the backstop) are by definition "temporary".

BUT.../2

That’s a LONG way from the list reported by @ShippersUnbound this morning and described by his headline writers as “peace terms” (ho ho ho) /3

#Brexit thread:

So. Tomorrow the House of Commons will vote on a series of possible amendments to Theresa May's 'Plan B' - or rather the 'plan of action to achieve a Plan B' - which itself officially reads as follows:
The amendment most likely to pass – and therefore the one on which most attention has been paid – is this one from Conservative party chairman Sir Graham Brady. It's effectively an instruction to go back and seek *some unstated other way* to avoid a hard border in Ireland:
Tonight, Theresa May has asked her backbenchers to vote in favour of this amendment. She is basically asking them to tie her hands, so that Brussels will clearly know what it would take to win the Commons' backing for any deal.

Graham Brady says here: “How to bypass the backstop and come up with a solution? Crucially we don’t need to hammer out those details before tomorrow.” With 29 March fast approaching, when should these details, elusive during 18 months of EU-UK #Brexit negotiations, be hammered? 1
EU and UK negotiatiors spent months thinking round bilaterally acceptable solutions to the backstop. They arrived at current document. Reminder: the UK-wide customs arrangement with the EU featured in the backstop was requested by HMG not Brussels 2
Withdrawal Agreement already says EU open to alternatives to backstop eg using technology if and when viable BUT EU no deal planning documents clearly say in case if no deal #Brexit some physical checks will have to take place. Technology alone doesnt cut the mustard for the EU 3

I’ve always been sceptical when people have told me 44 or 46 or some other number of letters have been written by Tory MPs to Graham Brady calling for a vote of no confidence in Theresa May’s leadership of Tory Party. Because the system for deposing...
...a Tory leader is so secret, so untransparent. The only person who knows how many letters have been sent is Brady, chairman of the backbench 1922 committee. There is no oversight of him. And he tells no one how may letters he’s received, not even fellow members of the 1922...
...executive. As for disgruntled MPs themselves, it can suit them to imply a letter has gone in when that’s not happened, and vice versa. So keeping score is a spectacularly inaccurate art, not science. Which is why reading runes, or Brady’s body language and intonation...
