Helen on Yvette Cooper’s support for a cross-party commission on Brexit: “I thought, ‘are you on glue?’ What is the advantage to Labour to help something which will inevitably be incredibly divisive?”

Stephen on the powerful new position of the DUP: “[The government] has a notional majority for approving spending and passing their Queen’s Speech. For everything else the DUP are going to go ‘what have you done for me lately?’”

Stephen on a possible Tory bounce-back: “The fear that the electorate will wack you when you meet them, does hold a party together like nothing else.”
