Picture: Depending on your view the (in)famous Daily Mail front page the day after Theresa May called a snap election. Last night it was announced that the editor of The Daily Mail, Paul Dacre, would stand down from the role in November. Given how unlucky Mrs May has been it would be no surprise to see her staunchest supporter in the print media replaced by George Osborne, who as editor of The Mail might not be so supportive of Theresa May…

Cancel all plans for June 12 pic.twitter.com/LSHBwCsXId — Sam Coates Sky (@SamCoatesSky) June 4, 2018 June 12th should be a slow news day as these votes coincide with scheduled Trump/Kim summit in Singapore and Mike Smithson still being on holiday. Though I’m sticking with my observation that these votes will be the most important votes the Commons has seen since the Norway debate. TSE

June 14th is set to be High Noon for Mrs May and the type of Brexit we get. This could be the most important Commons vote since the Norway Debate of 1940.

Well done @ShippersUnbound This bit should worry any sentient politician the most: the Dexeu response saying “none” of this will come to pass. None In defiance of official advice, experts and logic It feels like the absolutism of a cult pic.twitter.com/OC1jnYrsTr — Sam Coates Sky (@SamCoatesSky) June 2, 2018 If this is likely then expect an extension of Article 50 or Corbyn…

David Davis’ new plan for ‘buffer zone’ at Irish border to break Brexit deadlock branded ‘nonsense’ by the DUP https://t.co/mn3flKomCl — Sun Politics (@SunPolitics) June 1, 2018 Something tells me Brexit isn’t as easy as David Davis thought it would be. This is what he said in July 2016. Nearly two years on he still hasn’t sorted out the Northern Ireland border issue and that was meant to be the easy bit.
