Syed Kamall: Juncker’s legacy to date. The loss of a member state. And the slated rise of a crony.

I am excited by Britain’s post-Brexit prospects but will not stop caring about the EU when I close my Brussels office door for the last time in March.

Syed Kamall: The electoral disaster that will engulf our Party if we don’t boost our ethnic minority support

Once a seat reaches 30 per cent BME population, it goes Labour. In 2010, this applied to 75 seats. By 2022, it could apply to around 120 seats.

Syed Kamall: This time round, I’m not seeking to stand. But here’s an agenda for a Conservative Mayor of London.

Rather than “one size fits all” directives from City Hall we must allow local communities to have the chance to innovate.

Syed Kamall: Europe’s biggest ports are being refreshingly practical about Brexit

If only Brussels could conduct itself more like the management of Rotterdam, who are ignoring talk of ‘Armageddon’ and getting on with planning for the future.

Syed Kamall: Europe’s response to Russia highlight’s Britain’s continued influence

Syed Kamall: The Conservative Party needs a youth reboot – and it starts with listening more

Far from all young people are dyed-in-the-wool Corbynites. To improve the Conservative vote we need to find the right ways to communicate.

Syed Kamall: Ministers must not be cowed by Brussels protestations of unity

Behind the scenes many of Europe’s nations and regions are weighing the cost of a hard Brexit and pushing for a better deal.

Syed Kamall: A renewed focus on community engagement can revive our associations and membership

Constituency parties can be so much more than cogs in the national machine – let’s empower them to play their part tackling local problems and poverty.

Syed Kamall: That there has been a Brexit talks breakthrough is no thanks to the Commission’s negotiating plan

Hopefully, these efforts will pay off next week when national leaders decide whether to open talks on trade and a transition period. It is time to get down to business.

Comment | By Syed Kamall MEP | 8 December 2017 at 11:30 am | 44 comments

Syed Kamall: Why time pressure is cutting both ways in the Brexit talks – with pressure on the EU as well as the UK

Already, the EU is demanding discussion of certain trade matters which, according to its repeated statements, should not be brought up until the next phase of talks.

Syed Kamall: CCHQ does not understand how to campaign in London – we need a whole new approach

The Party apparatus may be in the capital, but it is not connected with the city’s residents. We must reach out and engage.

Comment | By Syed Kamall MEP | 20 July 2017 at 3:00 pm | 83 comments

Syed Kamall: The European Conservatives and Reformists should thrive post-Brexit

After we leave the EU, Tories should take care to maintain the alliances we have built with like-minded politicians on the continent.
