Comment

JP Floru: TfL’s attack on Uber is a blinkered attack on customers

By all means cut regulation on black cabs. But the cabbies’ union prefers to raise barriers to entry into the market.

By JP Floru | 30 September 2015 at 2:27 pm | 23 comments

Lord Fink: London is leading a charitable revolution

Technological innovation offers new ways of giving, with the potential to change many lives.

By Lord Fink | 30 September 2015 at 11:00 am

James Croft: Whatever happened to school choice?

The Government has allowed this radical project to slip down their list of priorities. It must be restored.

By James Croft | 30 September 2015 at 6:30 am | 13 comments

Hugh Byrne: How junior doctors are making a mess of their case for more pay

There is a sense of entitlement that they should be carried along without any competition, meaningful performance reviews or a healthy fear of unemployment.

By Hugh Byrne | 29 September 2015 at 6:30 am | 28 comments

John Baron MP: What we should do in Syria. Work with Russia, Iran and, yes, Assad to destroy Daesh

Without this strategic step-change in our approach, the UK’s involvement in air strikes would achieve very little, and could be counter-productive.

By John Baron MP | 28 September 2015 at 6:30 am | 31 comments

Cllr Joe Carlebach: A call to action for vulnerable children – the orphans of Syria

This includes offering some a safe home here. This is something that we can do at least partly to make up for our less than impressive handling of the crisis so far.

By Cllr Joe Carlebach | 27 September 2015 at 1:00 pm | 10 comments

Andrew Lilico: What would be the cost to investors of fossil fuel divestment?

Our findings confirm that – as one would intuitively expect – these stocks are crucial to the construction of risk-balanced portfolios.

By Andrew Lilico | 27 September 2015 at 6:30 am | 19 comments

Nicky Morgan MP: Our vision for gender equality – and helping women to fulfil their potential

It is the Conservative Party which produced the first ever female MP, the first lesbian leader in Ruth Davidson and the first female Prime Minister in Margaret Thatcher.

By Nicky Morgan MP | 26 September 2015 at 6:30 am | 35 comments

Benjamin Barnard: Cameron, just a marshmallow PR man? Not so: see how he’s beating the Left

By deliberately underplaying the Conservative beliefs that help drive him, he’s had greater room for manoeuvre in putting them into practice.

By Benjamin Barnard | 25 September 2015 at 6:30 am | 67 comments

Charles Tannock MEP: Assad is the lesser of two evils – we should cut a transitional deal and grant him immunity

We must address the source of the migration crisis, and find a way to face down ISIS. That requires a difficult decision.

By Charles Tannock MEP | 24 September 2015 at 6:45 am | 52 comments

Mohammed Amin: ISIS, ISIL or Daesh? What’s in a name?

Using the right language is important, lest we lend undue legitimacy or credibility to terrorists and murderers.

By Mohammed Amin | 24 September 2015 at 6:30 am | 22 comments

Sunder Katwala: Corbyn may offer the Tories a new opportunity with minority voters – but that’s no cause for complacency

The next election may see increasingly distinct pitches from each of the parties towards sections of the latter.

By Sunder Katwala | 23 September 2015 at 7:00 am | 11 comments

Cllr Thom Goddard: Let’s introduce on-shore corporation tax havens

Low-tax atolls in areas of high unemployment and surplus housing stock could increase Government revenue, employment levels and home ownership.

By Cllr Thom Goddard | 22 September 2015 at 3:00 pm | 17 comments

Paddy Briggs: Rail privatisation hasn’t worked, but Corbyn’s renationalisation wouldn’t either. We need a third way.

Public accountability, not public ownership, is the key.

By Paddy Briggs | 22 September 2015 at 6:30 am | 46 comments

Simon Calvert: Putin would be proud of the Government’s anti-extremism plan

Extremism Disruption Orders are draconian and unnecessary: the Government is already equipped with a bristling arsenal of anti-terror legislation.

By Simon Calvert | 21 September 2015 at 4:00 pm | 20 comments
