A no deal Brexit edges ever closer. The parties cannot agree on a deal and neither can the MPs. Now is the time to put differences aside and adopt a radical approach to the greatest constitutional crisis of our time.

With the EU and the UK having agreed to delay Brexit until October 31, 2019 Westminster politics continues to struggle to overcome an impasse. Arguably Brexit couldn’t have come at a worse time for British politics, with the main parties swayed more into ideological divisions than ever before.

As a result, the cross-party talks have appeared frosty and partisan. Corbyn has maintained pressure for a general election, an even more likely outcome after May’s resignation following three years of turmoil. Yet, ultimately both the new Tory leader and Corbyn are unlikely to push Brexit further forward if they cannot gather enough MPs on board; a new approach is desperately needed.

And thirdly, that constitutionally the new Tory leader would lack legitimacy to head such a government. Read more
