Greg Hands: It’s time to get behind our push for free trade – as we begin to negotiate a deal with the United States

Our scoping assessment shows there could be a £15.3 billion expansion in overall trade between the two countries, an 18 per cent increase on 2018 levels.

Greg Hands: Now that Britain has left the EU, Conservatives must support free trade

Today I am launching a Free Trade Parliamentary Caucus, to help Parliamentarians learn about the topic – and to advocate for the policy.

Greg Hands: Crime will be the central issue in this year’s election for Mayor of London

147 people were murdered in the capital last year, the highest level since 2008. There were three knife crime murders in Fulham last year, in my constituency.

Greg Hands: One might think that no-one in Brussels has read our Alternative Arrangements report

Many of our proposals can be introduced quickly. Some might take 12 – 15 months. We don’t believe anything will take longer than two to three years.

Greg Hands: Here are the next steps towards implementing our Alternative Arrangements plan

The Commission which drew up the report will publish alongside it next month a Draft Alternative Arrangements Protocol.

Greg Hands: The Party Leader must be far more accountable to Conservative MPs

Three meetings with the ’22 each year, with no questions allowed, are simply not sufficient. Even Corbyn engages more than this.

Why won’t my colleagues think it through? A Customs Union would be a disaster for British foreign policy.

If in the future, the UK has neither its own trade policy nor any say over the EU’s, we will have literally zero leverage on anything to do with trade.

Greg Hands: “The power is with us.” The two EU officials who want to punish Britain, crafted the deal – and claim they are winning.

Selmayr and Weyand have got much of their way so far. And there’s every chance they will continue to dominate the process.

Greg Hands: Remaining in a customs union beyond 2020 would be unacceptable to many Conservative MPs – and here’s why

Some will ask “Trump versus China: where does the UK stand?” The answer will be: “Ask Brussels – as the UK isn’t allowed to have a trade policy of its own”.

Greg Hands: Aid can have huge benefits. But it must be properly managed – and suspended when necessary.

This is why I fully supported the Government’s decision to halt direct funding worth £4 million to the Zambian government over allegations of corruption.

Greg Hands: Bailey is the right person to win in 2020 – and turn London blue again

He has the ideas to take the Capital forward. One great example is his plan to put one thousand extra police officers on the streets by cutting waste in City Hall.

A customs union 1) Greg Hands – As a former Remainer, and an ex-Trade Minister, I know that joining one would deliver Britain the worst of all worlds

We British often like a good compromise. This would be the wrong one.

Greg Hands: How Momentum is planning a loony left takeover in London

You can help to warn voters before it’s too late.

Greg Hands MP: It’s three years today of Labour’s deficit-denying, Goodwin-knighting, zero-credibility Shadow Chancellor

Ed Balls is a man trapped by his past. And Ed Miliband is too weak to stand up to him.
