Daniel Hannan: All the wonders of human civilisation can be found in a chicken sandwich

The miracle of the market combines the efforts of countless people to provide you with an affordable, accessible lunch.

Daniel Hannan: As a card-carrying Conservative, I’m alarmed by Labour’s collapse.

With no one to keep us on our toes, we’d become factional, complacent and, in time, sleazy. And what of those voters who believe in what Labour used to stand for?

Daniel Hannan: I’m glad the Turkish coup was defeated – but the country’s future now hangs in the balance

No military coup against an elected government ever improved things. But Turkey’s rulers ought to opt for statesmanship, not vengeance.

Daniel Hannan: Instead of sulking, Remainers should accept the result and work for a better future

Brow-beating didn’t work before the vote and it certainly won’t work now. All sides should be prepared to compromise.

Daniel Hannan: Today’s vote​ is the culmination of my adult life; but it’s not as big a deal as you might think.

If, as I hope, we vote to leave, we won’t be able simply to ignore the concerns of those who want to stay – and the same logic should apply if there is a narrow remain vote.

The day after Brexit will look pretty much like the previous day. It’s what happens in the years that follow that will really count.

Daniel Hannan: The referendum campaign has begun – and Leave has the positive message

The pro-EU campaign is the most Eeyorish, doom-obsessed effort I have ever come across. We have a better message than them.

Daniel Hannan: How Britain lost Ireland

A modicum of sensitivity at Westminster might have seen the Easter Rising fizzle out. Ireland might have evolved peacefully into a self-governing Commonwealth ally.

Daniel Hannan: Trump’s rise is harming the Republican Party, America and democracy itself

Time after time, the general population has proved to be wiser than the elites. Until now.

Daniel Hannan: Why do so many on the Left have a blind spot when it comes to anti-Semitism?

The Oxford Labour Club allegations are just part of a worrying trend, which is rooted in a long and unpleasant history.

Daniel Hannan: If the UK were not already a member of the European Union, would we vote to join it?

In the 1970s, European integration looked like a modern project. Now it looks tired, outdated and wrongheaded.

The whole process has shown beyond doubt that the EU cannot be reformed from within.
