YouGov have just published a poll which shows how readers of different newspapers are viewing brexit and how they would vote in a new referendum. For some reason the Sun does not appear to be included.

David Davis accuses Theresa May of being a ‘bigger menace to British voters’ than EU
The Mail and Express have hitherto been very belligerent about Leave. I’d struggle to find a moderate Leave newspaper, except perhaps the Spectator.
The Sunday Times couldn’t be more on the fence these days.
Telegraph has been most moderate of the main Leave papers I think. Both being for Leave and willing to give a voice to Remain alarmists.

The Tory party is a Brexiteer broad church.
Mark Mardell series on Brexit on WATO well worth listening to.
Times plus FT plus i plus Guardian = circa 1 million
Daily Mail = 1.3 million
the shockers are the DT now 0.4 million so on its way to death and the Guardian 137k - dead but doesnt know it
Mirror also appears to be in poor health

That's like measuring the charts based on physical singles sales alone still.
visits to sites are done on a much different way than simple sales
Oh, my coat?
The Official Charts Company now includes free streaming via websites like YouTube as well as paid for streaming and others towards their overall charts figures. A free stream is worth less than a paid for stream which is worth less than a sale.
It'd be great if someone came up with something like this for newspapers but nobody has. But the point remains that paper sales are meaningless in 2018. The Guardian could record 0 paper sales and it would because of its website as well as its history still be a significant paper today.

I see no one mentions the only newspaper any betting person should read on a daily basis - the Racing Post.
For example, disappointing news today about the future of Towcester Racecourse which is obviously far more important than Brexit.

And I say that as an arch-remainer.
I wouldn't want money against EEA + customs union at this stage if Chequers really won't fly. Seems to be only approach that actually leaves but works with a soft border.

Rather wet today.
Edit: There remains a small risk of an accidental no-deal, but it's less than it was three or four months ago.
now weve got it
They have correctly, in my view, realised that she is a soft touch and will crack under pressure. No wonder they have been so keen to keep her in office.
I predicted no deal right from the start. That is exactly where this is headed. May can’t possibly get the sellout that the EU will demand through Parliament. Now Chequers is dead, will she resign?
Donald Tusk said a few minutes ago that he's a little more optimistic than he was.
My current Bremorse level: nil.
EU sentiment: Fuck 'em and all who sail with them.

1. The Irish border, where the main obstacle is the EU's bizarre obsession with the backstop, to the exclusion of discussing what the actual proposed relationship is going to be. As I pointed out a few days ago, and as DD points out today:
It will be necessary to make particular arrangements at the Northern Ireland ports to control goods from the Rest of the World from entering the EU undetected. We already have special arrangements relating to the regulatory control of issues like the Single Electricity market and agri business and in a free trade arrangement there will be no tariffs. So it is perfectly possible to maintain this invisible border by using and developing existing administrative procedures. We can do this with existing technology although up until recently the European Commission dismissed this as “magical thinking” – that has now changed.
Not only does the technology already exist, it has been reported this week that the EU would like to deploy it between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. In essence, Michel Barnier is proposing checks away from the border. This is exactly what we proposed to deal with the North-South border. It is great to see that the EU is engaging with innovative solutions. But the question surely arises – if technology can be used east to west – why not north to south?
This can be fudged, it just needs some face-saving formula, probably involving regulatory checks on the Irish Sea crossing and electronic declaration for cross-border trade, plus some arm-twisting on the Irish, which the EU are no doubt capable of doing.
2. The EU's concern that the Chequers customs arrangement isn't practical. They have a genuine point here, it is over-complicated as it stands. This is an essential technical discussion for the negotiating teams, not for grand-standing politicians.
People are very strange sometimes:
"Cat owners, campaigners and social media users have been left furious after the Metropolitan Police announced the suspected Croydon Cat Killer never existed.
After three years of investigations and thousands of mutilated cats and other animals, including rabbits, officers have come to the conclusion that it is more likely the animals were hit by cars and then scavenged by foxes.
However the shock announcement has left members of the public furious and many have shared messages of support to the charity which has been at the forefront of the campaign to find the suspected person responsible for the deaths."

Why would people be furious to learn that the cat killer doesn't exist?
