1. How is this scheme compatible with Article 8 of the ECHR, enshrined in UK law via Human Rights Act, protecting right to family life? Has Govt taken legal advice on prospects of a challenge by EU citizens? If so what did it say?

If it wasn't dead already, Bercow appears to have buried Mrs May's deal under six foot of concrete. EU side will now weigh whether declining any UK request to extend Article 50, leaving UK to choose between revocation and no deal, would force revocation. Highest of high stakes

Report from doyen of political polling John Curtice finds just 13% approve of Government’s handling of Brexit and gives Remain an 18 point lead in a new #peoplesvote . It has taken longer than I expected but it appears the tide has definitely turned

To be clear to those tweeting about @itvpeston the full version shows my view is a 2nd ref now is not the best option for our nation. What is, is a PM who takes no deal off the table, removes red lines, including a CU, and acts in the interests of our country, not hard right MPs.

3. EU citizens in the UK were promised their lives would continue "as before". But isn’t settled status a lesser status that they need to apply, qualify & pay for?

It seems to me that if anything like the Govt’s version of Brexit goes ahead, Scotland will vote for independence and EU membership at the next opportunity it gets. @NicolaSturgeon is rehearsing the arguments already and doing it impressively, whether you agree with her or not

If more people had the courage and clarity of @NicolaSturgeon on the issue of immigration, the country would not be in this utter #Brexit shambles to start with. Whatever my politics, whatever caveats, whatever subjects I disagree with her on, this is what leadership looks like.
