Alex Morton: Too many Tory politicians say nothing worthwhile – because they have nothing worthwhile to say

What do our cliché-ridden rulers propose? Ending plastic cups, gender quotas for boardrooms and banning Tony the Tiger.

Alex Morton: Britain can most effectively gain global influence by governing herself well

Forget delusions of grandeur, memories of empire, or fantasies of running an EU superstate – let’s focus on setting a good example.
