Raghib Ali: Christmas is going to be tough, but there is finally light at the end of the Covid-19 tunnel

This new variant is understandably causing concern but there is no evidence that vaccines will be less effective. We must stay calm and follow the rules.

By Dr Raghib Ali | 21 December 2020 at 10:30 am | 42 comments

William Wragg: MPs debated and voted on the original Christmas rules. So we should be recalled to do the same for these new ones.

This should be welcomed by all – because it will carry greater legitimacy among the public who sent us to Westminster to be their representatives.

By William Wragg | 21 December 2020 at 6:30 am | 85 comments

Mario Creatura: A pandemic pregnancy – and the stess, anxiety, and guilt of being barred from my wife’s side at hospital.

New guidance helps. But why on earth did it take three months to communicate something so straightforward?

By Mario Creatura | 20 December 2020 at 6:30 am | 10 comments

Ed McGuinness: Cities are still the most viable locations for new housing

They have existing infrastructure in place. But improved intercity transport is needed as well as building new homes.

By Ed McGuinness | 19 December 2020 at 1:00 pm | 16 comments

Syed Kamall: There may be advantages to No Deal for both the UK and EU

For the UK, it would say: “we are leaving and want to make our own rules.” For the EU, it would say: “don’t think leaving the EU is easy”.

By Syed Kamall | 18 December 2020 at 5:43 pm | 86 comments

Nick Maughan: To shut schools again would inflict further harm on a damaged generation of children.

It stands to reason that an early return to online learning, or a late return to school, is going to hit the worst-off children hardest.

By Nick Maughan | 18 December 2020 at 2:00 pm | 12 comments

Philippa Stroud: So you wanted an impact assessment of the effects of lockdown, restrictions – and of Covid itself? Here it is.

The Legatum Institute has this week published a methodology for one. We don’t claim that it has all the answers, but it does offer a guide to hard policy choices.

By Philippa Stroud | 18 December 2020 at 6:20 am | 15 comments

Philip Booth: The Government needs to get tough (with itself) on competition policy

Just as governments of the left develop institutions designed to embed their reforms and make them difficult to reverse, so should the right.

By Philip Booth | 17 December 2020 at 1:00 pm | 8 comments

Roderick Crawford: Brexit and trade. What we are and aren’t committed to in order to help bring about a level playing field

The Political Declaration approves non-regression but not dynamic alignment – elements of which the EU has backed off from.

By Roderick Crawford | 17 December 2020 at 6:30 am | 20 comments

Tom Bradley: Consumers should be at the heart of the Government’s decarbonisation agenda

We will only achieve Net Zero with policies that run with the grain of public attitudes – a top-down approach is sure to fail.

By Tom Bradley | 16 December 2020 at 11:00 am | 24 comments

Mark Lehain: The end of unconscious bias training and Truss’s coming speech on equality – signs of a Ministerial anti-woke fightback.

They’re part of a broader move by the Government to rein in some of the more extreme politically correct excesses that went unchecked before.

By Mark Lehain | 16 December 2020 at 6:30 am | 33 comments

Alex Deane: European countries don’t spend enough on defence. Trump told them so – and so should Biden.

The new administration will want to look and feel different but, on this issue, it should resist being lured into “compromise”.

By Alex Deane | 15 December 2020 at 4:30 pm | 45 comments

Gerard Fox & Martin Smith: How a sunset clause could break the logjam in the Brexit trade talks

Disputes should be arbitrated by representatives of neutral countries that have experience of trading with the EU under different arrangements.

By Gerard Fox and Martin Smith | 15 December 2020 at 6:20 am | 28 comments

Steve Brine: The pharmacists have helped us through this crisis. Yet their future is threatened.

Community pharmacy is not just a key part of primary care. But also helps to stop people from getting ill in the first place.

By Steve Brine MP | 14 December 2020 at 3:36 pm | 18 comments

Yuan Yi Zhu: Good riddance to the Fixed-term Parliaments Act

Repeal will to restore politics – and the electorate – to its rightful place at the core of the United Kingdom’s constitution.

By Yuan Yi Zhu | 14 December 2020 at 11:00 am | 48 comments
