Bernard Jenkin: Could the Commons stop Brexit? It’s harder to do than some are suggesting.

The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Select Committee has today issued a report which casts light on the question.

Bernard Jenkin: The ‘new customs partnership’ idea should be dead in the water – it is the opposite of taking back control

It would leave EU judges in authority, obstruct new trading opportunities, and compel us to continue as a major financial contributor to Brussels. It is a futile distraction.

Bernard Jenkin: Why the Government’s customs partnership proposal won’t work

Those continuing the Remain campaign represent a minority. The Prime Minister understands that the people have spoken, and that now there is no turning back.

Bernard Jenkin: So you want to know what the EU deal means? My advice is – find a good lawyer.

There is plenty of reason to check that the Government’s ones have been giving sound legal advice to ministers. Too often, it has been wrong.

Bernard Jenkin: Conservatives will have no patience with MPs who seek to wreck the EU Withdrawal Bill

The guts of this Bill is about converting EU law, as it applies in the UK, into statute law as neatly as possible, creating the minimum of disruption. That is all.

Bernard Jenkin: The MPs’ Code of Conduct. We need clearer principles, and more discussion about values. Not just more rules.

There are slender means for discussion, coaching and mentoring us about the particular dangers and pressures of public life.

Bernard Jenkin: Our Party must define its mission with a Statement of Values

A change in attitudes and atmosphere at CCHQ is the vital foundation for any lasting and effective reform.

Comment | By Bernard Jenkin MP | 16 July 2017 at 2:00 pm | 23 comments

Bernard Jenkin: The Government’s EU referendum booklet is an outrageous abuse of taxpayers’ money

And much of this material is propaganda – not fact.

Comment, Highlights | By Bernard Jenkin MP | 8 April 2016 at 6:30 am | 120 comments

Bernard Jenkin: Denying Leave ministers sight of their own departments’ information is absurd

Instructions given to civil servants contravene the Cabinet Manual, the Ministerial Code, the European Referendum Act 2015 and the precedent from 1975.

Bernard Jenkin: Why the Commons should vote for air strikes against ISIS today

We will not be “bombing Syria”, but attacking carefully identified terrorist targets in the worst example of an “ungoverned space” that the modern world has seen.

Comment, Highlights | By Bernard Jenkin MP | 2 December 2015 at 7:00 am | 42 comments

Bernard Jenkin MP: The EU crisis. An opportunity for a fundamental renegotiation – or should we just start the No campaign now?

The Prime Minister was demanding “proper full-on treaty change”. Now we are told that we may have to accept a mere promise of it.

Bernard Jenkin MP: “There are no votes in defence.” Or so they say…

The two battered main parties would do well to speak honestly about the challenges and costs we face.

Scotland 3) Bernard Jenkin MP: How to correct the mistakes in the No campaign – and win

The Cabinet Secretary told my committee that contingency planning was actually banned by the Government.
