| If the wall-to-wall EU coverage was a little too much for you to bear over the weekend, we've cut through the spin and hype to bring you all you need to know about what really happened over the last few days.
First up is a closer look at what the prime minister actually achieved in his deal with the EU. This piece takes you through the main elements of his reforms and looks at what, if any, impact they will really have. It suggests that the bulk of the deal has almost nothing of substance within it and that all we have learnt this weekend is that Cameron is a really bad negotiator.
As soon as the deal was announced all the attention switched to who would support it. In true Boris Johnson style, he managed to make the whole thing about him. Unlike most of his colleagues, the London Mayor decided to keep everyone waiting for his decision, which was to back the Leave campaign. Despite the media frenzy surrounding his announcement yesterday, our next piece suggests his real influence over voters is far less than most of the press would have you believe.
Boris' aspiring successor for London Mayor Zac Goldsmith, has also come out for the Leave campaign. Our next article argues that despite his decision being far more principled than Boris' it is likely to prove costly for the mayoral candidate.
Elsewhere, we report that the Supreme Court will today decide the fate of thousands of children separated from a parent because of the government's income benchmark for marriage visas.
And finally, we hear from the English Collective of Prostitutes on why only full decriminalisation will help to keep sex workers safe. |
