John Baron: Torching quangos, scrapping cash – Sunak’s Budget should break with the past

In one of an occasional series we are running in advance of the Budget, some radical suggestions for kickstarting the British economy.

John Baron: The UK should mediate between Iran and the United States

We are well-placed to aid in de-escalating the crisis, and ultimately securing a diplomatic solution.

Comment, Highlights | By John Baron MP | 7 January 2020 at 3:10 am | 50 comments

John Baron: Johnson must keep calm, carry on – and reject the Withdrawal Agreement

The Government’s policy of reminding the electorate that it is keeping faith with the largest democratic exercise in our country’s political history is correct.

Comment, Highlights | By John Baron MP | 22 September 2019 at 6:30 am | 350 comments

John Baron: The country, the Party, and her own backbenchers expect the Prime Minister to deliver Brexit as promised

The time has come for her to show leadership and follow through on the clear instruction of the British people to leave the EU.

John Baron: England’s Cancer Strategy risks failure

Yes, survival rates in this country are at their highest ever level, but then so are international survival rates. Our real challenge is to close the gap with averages – let alone the best.

Comment | By John Baron MP | 5 December 2017 at 12:00 pm | 14 comments

John Baron: Trump’s Iran decision has an alarming North Korean dimension

De-certification of nuclear agreement could lead world leaders to conclude that such deals with the United States are not worth the candle.

Comment | By John Baron MP | 13 October 2017 at 2:00 pm | 44 comments

John Baron: It’s time to embrace the One-Nation message – and win

As possibly the only Brexiteer in the Parliamentary Party’s One Nation group, I am also only too aware that this message must be accompanied by a successful EU negotiation.

Comment, Highlights | By John Baron MP | 16 August 2017 at 6:30 am | 52 comments

John Baron: No transition – we must not loiter in the EU departure lounge

Such a phased withdrawal is not necessary, and it provides unnecessary succour to those as yet unreconciled to our leaving the EU.

John Baron MP: A successful Syrian intervention requires a grand strategy, and co-operation with Iran and Russia

We must be careful to learn the lessons of our past experiences in the region.

Comment, Highlights | By John Baron MP | 24 November 2015 at 6:30 am | 34 comments

John Baron MP: What we should do in Syria. Work with Russia, Iran and, yes, Assad to destroy Daesh

Without this strategic step-change in our approach, the UK’s involvement in air strikes would achieve very little, and could be counter-productive.

John Baron MP: I resigned to vote against the Iraq War. But here’s why I believe that Chilcot should be given more time

Having met Sir John as part of his investigations, and having questioned him earlier this year, I have no doubt he is determined to answer the central question of intent.

Comment, Highlights | By John Baron MP | 6 September 2015 at 6:30 am | 15 comments

John Baron MP: The litmus test for Cameron’s EU renegotiation. We should be able to strike down any EU law, tax or rule we please.

Anything short of this is of secondary importance.

Comment, Highlights | By John Baron MP | 17 August 2015 at 6:30 am | 89 comments

John Baron MP: NHS transparency on cancer survival rates will be transformational

We could save an additional 5,000 lives a year if we matched European survival rate averages

Comment | By John Baron MP | 16 December 2014 at 11:00 am | 5 comments

John Baron MP: Libya. Yet more evidence, were it needed, of intervention’s failure

Three years on, with the country’s Parliament now taking refuge in a Greek car ferry, it is clear that the venture has been a disaster.

Comment | By John Baron MP | 17 September 2014 at 11:00 am | 38 comments

John Baron MP: The West should not combat Islamic State in Syria

By all means work with local allies to drive them out of Northern Iraq, but fighting them in Syria risk mission creep – and worse.
