Brexit, love it or hate it: Mirror Politics morning newsletter

View Online Add to Contacts Morning, Theresa May is in Madrid today for discussions with a Prime Minister who has not been able to form a government for ten months. Some may question whether, when it comes to Brexit, the UK administration is functioning much better. Labour’s 170 questions, which we explore here, reveal the sheer complexity involved in trying to extricate ourselves from EU membership. For some reason they did not include Marmite. It is somehow appropriate that a small pot of yeast extract which divides opinion should have become the nexus of the post-referendum debate on Brexit. Marmite’s makers Unilever warned before the referendum that leaving the EU would mean prices would rise. The falling pound has made imports more expensive and the extra costs are being passed onto the customers. Opponents would argue that firms are exploiting the uncertainty to boost profits. Regardless of which is right - you suspect it is somewhere in between - it demonstrates that, far from ending the debate, the passions around Brexit rage if anything more ferociously. Which should concern Mrs May if she thought the Tories would now finally stop banging on about Europe. Brexit also travels to the high court today for a judicial review of the Government’s decision to trigger Article 50 without a vote in Parliament. You can imagine the apoplexy of the Brexiteers if a British court ruled in favour of the British Parliament having a say on our country’s future. There is a possibility that Boris Johnson may be able to spread more light on the Government’s Brexit intentions when he appears before the Foreign Affairs select committee this morning. The Foreign Secretary will also be asked about the situation in Syria, the state of UK-Russia relations and, possibly, the civil war in Yemen. MPs will today talk of the trauma and pain of losing a baby.  I hesitate to call it a debate as that implies an element of confrontation when this will be an emotionally-charged session, absent of partisan politics, and personally gruelling for many of those taking part. It is being led by the Conservative MPs Antoinette Sandbach and Will Quince who have both suffered from the loss of a young child and they deserve much credit for raising the issue in the Commons.
