Iain Duncan Smith: The many challenges facing the new Defence Secretary

Iain Duncan Smith: There is a solution to the concerns of those criticising the EU Withdrawal Bill’s new powers

Iain Duncan Smith: The Government is reviewing relationship counselling funding. Cuts would be a grave mistake.

When we first increased, and then doubled, this budget, it improved many people’s lives. Reversing that would be a retrograde step.

Iain Duncan Smith: Problem gambling is soaring – it’s time to cap the stakes on betting machines

Iain Duncan Smith: My message to Tory colleagues. The Prime Minister stands between Britain and Corbyn. So let’s get behind her.

If we look into the abyss, we will find it looks back at us – clad in a cropped grey beard and a Lenin hat and dressed in Marxist ideology.

Iain Duncan Smith: We must face hard truths about homegrown extremism

This problem may have started abroad, but it is now here, in our own society. It must be dealt with.

Iain Duncan Smith: It is better to face the social care crisis head-on than to dump the costs onto our children

Iain Duncan Smith: In London, the Conservative campaign faces a very different electoral landscape

We began the election with Labour ahead in the polls in the capital. The Lib Dems are trying to capitalise on the Remain vote. And it’s likely to get nasty.

Columnists, Highlights | By Iain Duncan Smith | 9 May 2017 at 6:30 am | 58 comments

Iain Duncan Smith: Why we need a visionary prospectus for this election – not a mass of details and tactical ploys

I feel we have gone too far in publishing and overly political manifestos which make it difficult to govern subsequently.

Iain Duncan Smith: At long last, the USA has shown clear commitment to act against Assad

Obama’s desperate and impotent decision to abandon the Middle East to the Russians is being overturned. Not before time.
