The truth about Boris

Our attitude to him should exactly mirror his attitude to us: we should have our cake and eat it.

Morgan must address Tory concerns about academy plans

Universalisation may or may not be a good idea, but either way the Government cannot afford another blue-on-blue battleground at this sensitive time.

Project Fear’s pre-emptive strike on the NHS

But the Labour Party has been slow to rally to Jeremy Hunt’s side.

By Harry Phibbs | 28 March 2016 at 6:50 am | 124 comments

Less secure inside the EU, though still unsecure outside it.

The balance of the safety argument is for leaving. But neither referendum outcome will dampen the fanaticism of our home-grown extremists.

No, Brexit will not lead to Welsh independence

Boris decided to be Boris, and not everyone in the Leave campaign will thank him for it

The Mayor of London refused, in his encounter with Tyrie’s committee, to be dull, prudent and strictly factual.

Andrew Gimson’s PMQs sketch: The sooner Corbyn’s comrades push him off a cliff, the better

This Puritan hates the theatre of politics, so is trying to destroy PMQs.

By Andrew Gimson | 23 March 2016 at 2:10 pm | 39 comments

The Feldman Review. Drop MCAs, back federations.

The latest iteration has good bits, some bad bits – and nothing substantial to boost ownership of the Party by its members.

By Paul Goodman | 23 March 2016 at 7:00 am | 43 comments

It would be wrong to pretend the Brussels attacks have no political implications

But we must only consider them at the right time, and only when we know some facts, not as a tasteless kneejerk.

By Mark Wallace | 22 March 2016 at 5:14 pm | 101 comments
