Benjamin Obese-Jecty: It’s time the Government did right by Commonwealth veterans

We should follow the American example and offer an cheap, easy, and automatic pathway to residency and citizenship for those who serve.

David Skelton: Snobbery against the white working-class is all too common on the Left

In many cases, they are ridiculed, stereotyped and portrayed as somewhere between bigoted and racist.

If the free world values freedom, then it must wake up to the imminent dangers – or the threat will spread.

It should take advantage of the current macro-economic environment afforded by low borrowing costs, to provide stable – and sizeable – funding.

Roderick Crawford: There can be no role for the European Court in policing an EU trade agreement

Agreeing underlying principles, not getting an extension, is the key to reaching an agreement.

Or will Britain trade in its global reputation for lawfulness in exchange for keeping Trump sweet for trade?

Julie Newcombe: Hancock must aid the pandemic’s forgotten victims. The hundreds of autistic people detained in secure units.

Is the sequestering, incarceration and forgetting of these vulnerable children and young adults any better than in Georgian and Victorian times?
