After last week’s high stakes summit, it briefly seemed that Theresa May had managed to unite her party around a Brexit proposal. But then David Davis and Boris Johnson resigned, dealing a humiliating blow to her plan and bringing her leadership into question. And yet, she seems to have survived. So what happens now? Robin Pettitt picks over the mess May is in, while Stephen Clear gives her credit for sticking to the principle of collective ministerial responsibility. Meanwhile, Anand Menon offers advice to David Davis’s successor, Dominic Raab, as he picks up the poisoned Brexit chalice.
