Hugo Lucas: We aren’t saying that young people matter more than older people, Chloe. We’re simply saying that they matter.

It is a glaring act of mental collectivisation to lump Our Future, Our Choice in with those who think that over 75s should not be allowed to vote.

By Hugo Lucas | 22 January 2019 at 11:00 am | 215 comments

Anand Menon and Alan Wager: The risk of Brexit splitting the Conservatives is real

The unique nature of divisions over it could overwhelm the Party’s traditional pragmatic instinct for office.

By Anand Menon and Alan Wager | 22 January 2019 at 6:20 am | 104 comments

Stephen Laws: How attempts to postpone Brexit could create a constitutional crisis – and drag the Queen into it

Could the Government reassert its wrongly denied constitutional veto on such a Bill by advising the Monarch not to grant it Royal Assent?

By Sir Stephen Laws | 21 January 2019 at 3:18 pm | 88 comments

Kevin Hollinrake: High environmental standards boost economic growth

The Environment Bill gives us the chance to cement Britain’s position as a world leader in clean, sustainable progress.

By Kevin Hollinrake | 21 January 2019 at 11:30 am | 31 comments

Steve Double: May has misread the mood of the country over free movement. Now is the time to drop hostile rhetoric.

There is a now a window of opportunity for a better, more sensible and cross-party debate than the one we had in the referendum campaign.

By Steve Double MP | 21 January 2019 at 6:30 am | 111 comments

Steven Edginton: The BBC’s Question Time last week. Abbott was the victim of her own rudeness – not of racism. As I saw at first-hand.

The only explanation I can find is that she mistakenly assumed I was just another Tory public school boy, to whom she did not need to bother giving the time of day.

By Steven Edginton | 20 January 2019 at 6:30 am | 200 comments

Esther McVey: Now that May’s Brexit deal has been voted down, we need to win back trust. Here’s how.

We also need to examine a ‘no deal transition period’ – i.e: a payment for a period of time to enable both the UK and the EU to adjust to the changes ahead of us.

By Esther McVey MP | 19 January 2019 at 6:30 am | 130 comments

Mohammed Amin: The Government should talk to the Muslim Council of Britain – though talking doesn’t necessarily mean agreeing

Government dialogue with an organisation doesn’t mean Ministers rewarding it. Rather, it means engaging with it.

By Mohammed Amin | 18 January 2019 at 4:00 pm | 83 comments

Simon Allison: Parliament is deadlocked. Only the British people can deliver a final say on May’s deal.

It would be swift, fair and democratic solution to this sorry saga, allowing us to get back to meeting the challenges that helped fuelled the Brexit vote in the first place.

By Simon Allison | 18 January 2019 at 6:20 am | 261 comments

Dan Watkins: Six reasons why the Conservatives deserved to win that no confidence vote yesterday

It’s not hard to find reasons to be frustrated with the Government, but we are still delivering for the British people.

By Dan Watkins | 17 January 2019 at 1:00 pm | 64 comments

Stewart Jackson: Don’t pivot to the Customs Union, Prime Minister – it could destroy the Conservative Party

Breaking her promise in such a way would enrage many voters, divide her Party, and cost the nation dearly in lost Brexit opportunities.

By Stewart Jackson | 17 January 2019 at 6:30 am | 259 comments

Jeremy Hunt: This deal is a compromise, but it honours the referendum result – and it must pass

Opposing it in the hope of something better risks ending up with the worst possible outcome: no Brexit at all.

By Jeremy Hunt | 15 January 2019 at 6:30 am | 86 comments

Guto Bebb: Conservative MPs’ opposition to this deal is about far more than just the backstop

Only 13 of the more than 100 colleagues who are publicly opposed have said that their position is solely based on that aspect of the plan.

By Guto Bebb MP | 14 January 2019 at 2:33 pm | 86 comments

Antoinette Sandbach: Lower bills, less waste and better health. Time to insulate UK homes.

Other countries manage to do this far better than we do; it is not right that Britain should fall behind on such a simple act.

By Antoinette Sandbach | 14 January 2019 at 11:00 am | 39 comments

Peter Bone: I helped move Cameron’s Government to deliver the referendum. This deal doesn’t deliver on the result.

It is certainly not the Brexit that people voted for. As Bill Clinton might have said about the main issue: It’s the Sovereignty, Stupid!

By Peter Bone MP | 14 January 2019 at 6:20 am | 41 comments
