By Mohammed Abdel-Haq | 31 March 2016 at 4:00 pm

Only ten years ago we’d have been mid-table, but since 2007 single-issue campaigners have struck a string of blows against lifestyle freedom.

By Christopher Snowdon | 31 March 2016 at 11:00 am | 70 comments

After Paris and now Brussels, let’s avoid claims based on gut feelings, out-dated information or – dare I say it – wilful misunderstandings.

By Damian Green MP | 28 March 2016 at 6:20 am | 55 comments

Rob Leitch: The greatest Conservative education reform of all – changing the way progress is measured

Luke de Pulford: As genocide is wreaked on the Yazadis, the Foreign Office averts its eyes

Why is the Government allowing itself to be bullied into accepting this baseless policy by civil servants?

Khan’s reckless and unfunded spending pledges threaten the future of the Tube, and our ability to solve the housing crisis by connecting with space for new homes.

Altaf Hussain: It’s time to break the shackles that hold Muslim women back

James Morris: The one in ten children suffering with a mental illness need us to stay on course

It would be a tragedy if our reforming zeal and the important changes we are making became lost in a sea of negative internally-generated noise.

By James Morris MP | 24 March 2016 at 1:00 pm | 25 comments
