Daniel Hannan: Venezuela. Be warned. This is the regime that Corbyn still sees, even now, as his model.

The only US sanctions in place before August 2017 were asset freezes and travel bans aimed at a handful of Chavista politicians and their cronies.

Daniel Hannan: What is driving this chaos? I’ll tell you. The EU is determined to punish us.

In English, Barnier said: “I’ll have done my job if, in the end, the deal is so tough on the British that they’d prefer to stay in the EU”.

Daniel Hannan: That Brexit film works as drama. But it doesn’t as history. I should know. I was there.

The real flaw in Graham’s film was the implication that Vote Leave won by turning the European question into something else.

Daniel Hannan: We still have time to switch course from disaster. Just. It’s up to Conservative MPs to act now.

The logic is clear enough. The EU’s choice would be between no backstop and nothing else either; or no backstop and agreement on everything else.

Daniel Hannan: I want to support May’s plan. But I can’t. It proposes a way of leaving the EU that’s exactly the wrong way round.

Instead of leaving the Customs Union but retaining chunks of the Single Market – we shall end up staying in the Customs Union but leaving most of the Single Market.

Daniel Hannan: May’s deal. It leaves us facing colonial rule from Brussels, of the sort imposed on Bosnia following the Yugoslav war.

Cowardice and lack of vision have brought us to this pass – facing all the costs and obligations of EU membership, but with no voice, no vote and no veto.

Daniel Hannan: If Momentum wants more war memorials, why won’t its members crowd-fund them?

Imagine if they raised money to help honour the soldiers who answered Britain’s call during two world wars – thus showing more than anger and resentment.

Daniel Hannan: The proposed Brexit terms represent a deal worse than either staying or leaving.

Frankly, any outcome – no deal, Norway, Canada, even the risk of a second referendum – would be better than what is currently on the table.

Daniel Hannan: Kavanaugh may be guilty. But justice demands that his confirmation should take place.

The presumption of innocence should not be some empty piety. A nasty aspect of politics is that this principle is reversed when the headlines are bad enough.

Daniel Hannan: We no longer need to imagine a free trade deal with the USA – we’ve written one

Our treaty would be the most comprehensive ever. And it rests on mutual recognition, not top-down standardisation.

Columnists, Highlights | By Daniel Hannan MEP | 19 September 2018 at 6:30 am | 65 comments

Daniel Hannan: It should be obvious, not controversial, to seek a deep friendship with our EU neighbours

In the third piece in our mini-series evaluating the EEA, our columnist wonders how both sides managed to become so hostile to moderate concepts.

Columnists, Highlights | By Daniel Hannan MEP | 6 September 2018 at 6:30 am | 106 comments

Daniel Hannan: Identity politics. It becomes impossible to avoid giving offence, because the offended keep changing the rules.

In an atmosphere when anyone can close down the conversation by saying “I feel uncomfortable”, rational discussion becomes impossible.

Daniel Hannan: Political clickbait is Fleet Street’s addiction, and the nation’s problem

The trend fuels harmful misrepresentations and myths. It might bring in ad revenue, but it harms the fabric of our democracy.

Daniel Hannan: Even the blockade of Qatar hasn’t produced the calamity that hysterical Remainers now predict from Brexit

Their hysterical tone serves only to make EU negotiators dig in deeper – thus, paradoxically, making a breakdown in talks more likely.

Daniel Hannan: My view of May’s new Brexit plan. It’s just about better than No Deal. But now a line in the sand must be drawn.

Preparing for no deal ought therefore to be our national priority – cuts in corporate and personal taxes, removal of regulations, openness to global business.
