For the second month running, our panel’s confidence in Johnson’s handling of Covid-19 falls. Though it’s still at 70 per cent.

The drop roughly parallels the polling fall in confidence among the general public – though a seven out of ten rating is healthy enough.

China 1) Our survey. 85 per cent of Party members support the Government’s Hong Kong passport rights extension plan.

Given the sensitivity of the public to mass immigration, what’s the explanation for our panel’s return above?

Neil O’Brien: Higher and technical eduation. The universities should reform themselves. Or have reform forced on them.

For a country deep in debt, lofty thoughts are not enough to justify such huge numbers of students doing things that don’t help them economically,

By Neil O Brien MP | 1 June 2020 at 6:40 am | 55 comments

Our survey. Seven out of ten Tory members back Cummings.

And it makes next to no difference whether or not the question asked is about resignation or dismissal.

Richard Ekins: How the Supreme Court has empowered Gerry Adams to sue the Government – and seek damages

Worse, its judgement has knock-on implications for the effectiveness of government. Urgent corrective legislation is needed.

The BBC and politics. Maitlis’ Cummings intro was out of order. And so too, in its time, was Neil’s denunciation of ISIS.

As one side becomes more sensitive to perceived breaches of neutrality, the other becomes less willing or able to accept when it has erred.

Disraeli the anti-prig tells us far more about Johnson than Churchill does

Disraeli’s impudence and audacity, demonstrated in this collection of his sayings, cast light on the present Prime Minister’s conduct.

Why the Cabinet Office will be in the dock for Covid failures when the inquiry comes. As will Sedwill.

The Treasury has been welded at the top to Number Ten. Now there’s a push to do more of the same to the Office.

Tom Tugendhat: With the world distracted by the virus, China moves to curb freedom in Hong Kong. Here’s how we must respond.

China is undermining its own commitments, and we should return rights to Hong Kong’s BNOs that we took from them. But that’s only a first step.

By Tom Tugendhat MP | 29 May 2020 at 6:30 am | 87 comments

Iain Dale: The arrogance of Cummings, the failures of the Guardian – and why we all need to keep a sense of proportion.

He’s a distraction and so can’t possibly have his mind on the job. But the Guardian and Mirror got a lot of the story wrong – and should apologise.

By Iain Dale | 29 May 2020 at 6:30 am | 275 comments

Andrew Gimson’s Commons sketch: The Prime Minister did not stoop and could not conquer

He would not conciliate the Liaison Committee by promising to meet it three times a year, let alone by holding an inquiry into Cummings.

By Andrew Gimson | 28 May 2020 at 7:00 am | 220 comments

Profile: Helen MacNamara, who could yet hold Cummings’ fate in her hands

“The new Sue Gray” – responsible for policing propriety and ethics – may yet be asked to rule whether Johnson’s adviser has behaved improperly.

By Andrew Gimson | 28 May 2020 at 6:40 am | 76 comments

Stephen Booth: Contrary to expectations, the UK may have the upper hand as Brexit negotiations intensify

With its objective being British sovereignty, Johnson’s government can justify economic disruption better than the EU.

By Stephen Booth | 28 May 2020 at 6:30 am | 115 comments

Invictus: The bedwetter Tory MPs who panicked over Cummings need drying out

They owe him and Johnson their seats – and won’t save themselves by turning on him. If necessary, they should lose the whip.

By Invictus | 28 May 2020 at 6:20 am | 280 comments

School re-openings. Williamson is making his case without a taranatula perched on his shoulder.

Enraged voters are not his target: he is zeroing in on the mass of questioning teachers and parents.
