- Simon Hoare, the Conservative MP for North Dorset, has just said on Sky News that the Downing St party was held to thank Dominic Raab for holding the fort during PM's illness. So presumably he was there too?
- Irish PM Varadkar: “The position as of today is we have no texts or draft texts to consider or get legal advice on. I am not entirely sure what MPs are looking at in London. We have no legal texts or draft legal texts to consider, propose amendments to, or seek legal advice on".
- Andrew Marr: Can you as government reach 150,000 businesses and help them to prepare for no deal? Andrea Leadsom: Yes, absolutely. AM: Really? Before October? AL: Yes. One of the things I would like us to do is to provide a pamphlet
- NEW: Michel Barnier has told EU ambasssors that there has been no progress. Brits keep on banging on about time limit and exit mechanism - but we keep on telling them it isn’t going to happen.
- .@donaldtusk says UK was a victim of meddling during Brexit referendum: "There are external anti-European forces, which are seeking – openly or secretly – to influence the democratic choices of Europeans, as was the case with Brexit".
- Breaking: Donald Tusk responds to vote: "The Withdrawal agreement is and remains the best and only way to ensure an orderly withdrawal of the UK from the European Union. The backstop is part of the Withdrawal Agreement, and the Withdrawal Agreement is not open for re-negotiation"
- Reacting to vote, Dutch PM, Mark Rutte, is annoyed: “What's the point of whining on for months on end while we have been going around in circles for two years?", he said. "When Theresa May comes asking us for an extension, our response will be: 'for what? To what end?”
- After nearly six years as The Guardian's bureau chief in Brussels, I head back to London to take up role of Chief Reporter. Been a blast.
- Michel Barnier says of Irish border in no deal scenario: "We will have to find an operational way of carrying out checks and controls without putting back in place a border." That wasn't the line 24 hours ago....
- Nadhim Zahawi is having an absolute mare on Andrew Neil show. At peak nonsense, asked when Jeremy Corbyn will follow Stalin and start shooting people, he responds: "I don't know".
- The European commission has gone toe-to-toe with AstraZenica. Only one can win. So congratulations to the pharmaceutical giant in advance.
