The Lanchester Review: Further Measures to Assert the Sovereignty of Parliament

He needs to propose several interrelated measures to be enacted regardless of the outcome of the referendum, and if at all possible prior to it."

Forget the right-wing papers. They will all come into line, with the possible exception of the Express titles, and, frankly, have you seen the Express titles in the present century?

None of them has said today that it would campaign to leave. They will back a Conservative Prime Minister, any Conservative Prime Minister, because they will back a Conservative Prime Minister, any Conservative Prime Minister. That is what they do. That is what they are for.

Individual columnists are one thing; there are those even on The Guardian. But the only paper, as such, that is guaranteed, or even very likely, to campaign for an Out vote is the ever-reliable Morning Star.

This evening, the Evening Standard's televised hustings for Mayor of London cut to a commercial break halfway through George Galloway's brilliant exposition of the left-wing case for withdrawal. But expect plenty of coverage of UKIP, to make the anti-EU case seem silly and a bit sinister.

Do not wait for a Cabinet split, either. Iain Duncan Smith has been more or less forbidden to be seen in public for several years now, and if anyone else did materialise, then it would be no one of whom anyone had ever heard.
