Sarah Ingham: We might have had a Juan Carlos or an Ernst August. Instead, we’ve had the Queen – and the Duke.

She has lost a beloved husband and the country has lost one of the most admirable public servants in its history.

Comment, Highlights | By Dr Sarah Ingham | 11 April 2021 at 6:30 am

Sarah Ingham: After the Batley protests and on this Easter Saturday, a case for tolerating religious belief

In Britain, we don’t ‘do God’ too much. Should we go to church, most are not C of E, but C and E – Christmas and Easter.

Sarah Ingham: After the party, the hangover. This week, the Integrated Review. Next Monday, defence cuts?

The review was described as ‘the most comprehensive Review since the Cold War’. For those with memories of previous reviews, this probably caused hearts to sink a tad.

Sarah Ingham: The Duchess, the Queen – and that Oprah interview. It’s time for Johnson to step in.

Reports that the former brought pressure to bear on ITV are alarming. Can we look forward to a new series – Britain’s Got Feudalism?

Sarah Ingham: Corbyn and his gang could scarcely have handled coronavirus worse than the Government

The public elected a Conservative Government, but they didn’t get one.

Sarah Ingham: How so many gym-goers escaped Covid-19 is one of the great mysteries of this virus

With around 20 million visits in March, according to one estimate, surely fitness studios should have been at the centre of outbreaks.

Comment | By Dr Sarah Ingham | 22 July 2020 at 3:00 pm | 45 comments

Sarah Ingham: Memories of Wooton Bassett as we cheer NHS staff. PPE – and lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan.

How the backlash from Labour’s failure to protect our armed forces adequately led to a new Military Covenant.

Sarah Ingham: Why is the Government not closing Britain’s borders?

It is a supreme irony that the EU has effectively ended free movement, while the UK continues to embrace it

Comment | By Dr Sarah Ingham | 1 April 2020 at 12:00 pm | 59 comments

Sarah Ingham: The proper place to call the government to account is not the courts, but the ballot box

MPs should be ever-ready to assert the rights of Parliament over the Executive. But they should not be outsourcing the voters’ job to judges.

Comment, Highlights | By Dr Sarah Ingham | 7 October 2019 at 6:30 am | 232 comments

Sarah Ingham: Why the horror at holding European elections this spring? We should seek and embrace the opportunity.

Far better than a Second Referendum, the poll would offer a benign way of taking the country’s temperature.

Sarah Ingham: After this election result, support for a second referendum on Brexit is gaining ground

Since when did voting for a party mean endorsing every policy in any election manifesto? Especially when large chunks of the Tory offering are in the shredder.

Comment | By Dr Sarah Ingham | 14 June 2017 at 4:00 pm | 284 comments

Sarah Ingham: The local elections show the voters have other priorities beside Brexit

The poor showing for UKIP and the Lib Dems proves those on both sides of the debate wish to move on.

Comment | By Dr Sarah Ingham | 6 May 2017 at 1:00 pm | 55 comments

Sarah Ingham: Stop this contest now. May deserves a coronation.

By delaying the result until September, the Party Board believes it is a good idea for the United Kingdom to drift, rudderless, for another two months. Crisis, what crisis, eh?

Comment, Highlights | By Dr Sarah Ingham | 8 July 2016 at 6:30 am | 105 comments

Sarah Ingham: Shame on Ministers for their nasty, braying – and counter-productive – bullying of Corbyn

Hilton is right: Labour’s leader may never be Prime Minister, but he’s re-engaging people in politics. Can the Conservatives really say the same?

Comment | By Dr Sarah Ingham | 26 May 2016 at 2:00 pm | 20 comments

Dr Sarah Ingham: Undecideds, not Shy Tories, delivered last week’s victory – as Denis Healey could have predicted

I saw in Twickenham the remarkable number of people who made up their minds at the last minute.
