John Redwood: Let’s have a Conservative Queen’s speech

Wrong-headed Treasury thinking will leave people paying unnecessarily high as the cost-of-living crisis strikes.

If the government is providing the money for public services, it needs more control over how that money is spent.

John Redwood: My critique of the Chancellor’s Mais Lecture, and what the Government should do next

Our troubles will be compounded by Ministers’ import promotion policies, most pronounced in the Business, Energy and Agriculture departments.

John Redwood: We’re free of EU membership and can motor to our own destiny. But still drive nervously in L-plates. Why?

There should be a growth target to complement the inflation target – to drive government departments to take actions that will promote more UK activity and jobs.

John Redwood: The BBC is disruptive, anti-Brexit, divisive – and belittles and ignores England

John Redwood: Why now that we have left the EU are we still yoked to Maastricht austerity?

John Redwood: Covid-19 – and the hard questions that must be asked about forecasts, numbers, data and treatments

John Redwood: This virtual Parliament must have maximum power to hold Ministers to account. Here are some improvements.

The first thing that would help would be for the Government to allow more time. And MPs could indicate to the control system they would like to intervene.

John Redwood: The Government should prepare for a return to normal work for people not in the vulnerable categories
