Will Quince: While we get help to people in need, Starmer calls for some of it to be scrapped – with no replacement plan

By Will Quince MP | 17 January 2021 at 6:30 am | 32 comments

The playbook learned delivering Brexit is little use when the weight of public opinion is in favour of more restrictions, not fewer.

By Henry Hill | 16 January 2021 at 8:00 am | 170 comments

David Gauke: The Covid paradox for Johnson: the nearer to normality we get, the more difficulties he’ll have

The Government should begin to dash unrealistic expectations now, rather than be forced to do so later.

By David Gauke | 16 January 2021 at 6:00 am | 48 comments

Responding to Rashford

Iain Dale: Biden has neither the imagination nor energy to heal his tearful nation

By Andrew Gimson | 14 January 2021 at 6:40 am | 32 comments

Douglas Ross: No more excuses. No more evasion. Sturgeon’s position is untenable if Salmond is telling the truth.

Just a few months ahead of the Scottish Parliament Election, voters deserve to know the truth of whether they can trust the First Minister’s word.

By Douglas Ross MP | 14 January 2021 at 6:30 am | 27 comments

Garvan Walshe: Conservatives need to choose. Are they with democracy or with the Capitol terrorists?
