James Cartlidge: It’s time to board the EEA lifeboat – and set sail towards a New Common Market

The UK plus EFTA would have a greater GDP than Germany. As one, we would be the largest economy in Europe.

Comment, Highlights | By James Cartlidge MP | 27 July 2018 at 6:20 am | 190 comments

James Cartlidge: We should consider joining EFTA – which would give us the brake on unskilled EU migration that we may need

If we are also out of CAP, CFP and direct ECJ jurisdiction, able to negotiate our own trade deals and in the Single Market, it might not be such a bad outcome after all.

Comment, Highlights | By James Cartlidge MP | 13 November 2017 at 6:20 am | 202 comments

James Cartlidge: The devastating truth at the heart of the NICs row. We’re palming difficult decisions off on the next generation.

We may be rowing back to defend one promise. But another more fundamental promise to the future is actually at stake.

James Cartlidge: Beware an unexpected consequence of Brexit – opening our doors to a new mass of unskilled migrants

My worry is that we will end up simply substituting EU immigration with non-EU. We need to buy time to train our own workforce up.

Comment, Highlights | By James Cartlidge MP | 17 February 2017 at 6:20 am | 90 comments

James Cartlidge: The triple lock. The NHS. The aid budget. If there’s to be a snap election, we’ll need a new manifesto

And on Brexit, as one who campaigned for In, I say we should get on with it, and avoid the one outcome that is infinitely less preferable to Leave or Remain: limbo.

James Cartlidge: I will vote Remain because I believe in the sovereignty that matters most – that of economic strength

Do people find sovereignty in a Parliament they regrettably take little interest in – or in actual power and the pound in their pocket: their job; their standard of living?

James Cartlidge MP: I support Osborne’s tax credit plan – and so should my Conservative colleagues

Trying to move Britain from a dependency culture is horrifically difficult, and I cannot see how it can be done without some pain.

James Cartlidge: It’s time to rebalance the housing market from investors to occupiers

At the moment, it’s easier to buy to let than it is to buy to live in the house. That’s unwise and unfair – and it must be changed.

Comment | By James Cartlidge MP | 10 October 2014 at 6:30 am | 31 comments

Cllr James Cartlidge: Alistair Darling is right – there should be a UK-wide referendum on a Sterling Zone

The idea was first floated here on ConservativeHome. Now it is gathering momentum.

Comment, Highlights | By James Cartlidge MP | 1 April 2014 at 3:38 pm | 22 comments

Cllr James Cartlidge: Scotland mustn’t be allowed to keep sterling without the UK-wide referendum

The current currency would change in the event of Scottish independence – which is why England, Wales and Northern Ireland must have their say.

Social mobility requires a boost to shared ownership housing

Shared ownership is a vital pipeline of supply that is overlooked
