Roderick Crawford: It’s time to recast the Brexit trade negotiation – and for Johnson to travel to Brussels

Essentially, the EU seems to want a controlled partnership, not a partnership that works because there are shared values and common interests.

By Roderick Crawford | 8 June 2020 at 11:00 am | 114 comments

Samuel Williams: Taking the knee is an expression of evolution – of showing compassion, even if it comes at a cost to ourselves

But these demonstrations, which cannot uphold social distancing, will have a catastrophic impact on our collective fight against the virus.

By Samuel Williams | 8 June 2020 at 6:40 am | 258 comments

Colin Clark: If the Scottish Tories stay in the middle of the road, they’ll get run over

In 2016, 38 per cent of voters in Scotland backed Brexit. So why is the Party currently stuck at 23 per cent in the polls for next year’s Holyrood election?

By Colin Clark | 7 June 2020 at 6:45 am | 37 comments

Andrew Mitchell: Covid-19 isn’t the only killer

A child dies every 20 seconds from a disease they could have been vaccinated against. The Government is determined to meet this challenge.

By Andrew Mitchell MP | 6 June 2020 at 12:00 pm | 56 comments

Jake Scott: To defend the ‘Blue Wall’, Tory MPs must be prepared to defy the whip

To paraphrase Burke, they owe their Party, as much as their electors, the benefit of their independent, locally-informed judgement.

By Jake Scott | 5 June 2020 at 3:30 pm | 41 comments

Tom Tugendhat: China. The five actions that the Government must take to defend our interests.

Given the salience of the topic, we are republishing the Chair of the Foreign Select Committee’s article above each day this week.

By Tom Tugendhat MP | 5 June 2020 at 10:30 am | 196 comments

Alec Shelbrooke: Next year’s exam season should be postponed – to allow more catch-up time in schools

It would require the willingness of exam boards to adjust their timetables. But with the will to achieve this, it could be done.

By Alec Shelbrooke MP | 5 June 2020 at 6:30 am | 17 comments

Colin Hart: As we start to ease lockdown, it’s time to lift the ban on weddings

The big parties can wait until we have seen off Covid-19. But the marriages themselves cannot – and they can be performed safely.

By Colin Hart | 4 June 2020 at 3:30 pm | 21 comments

Nick King: The business bailout scheme should avoid moral hazard, protect taxpayers – and not throw good money after bad.

Given the working title ‘Project Birch’ within Government, the project is reported to be considering investmenting billions of pounds in companies.

By Nick King | 4 June 2020 at 11:00 am | 20 comments

Neil Shastri-Hurst: The NHS risks becoming a sacred cow. Let that not be the legacy of Covid-19.

While we want to honour our healthcare system and its workers, we must be open to exploring how we can improve it too.

By Neil Shastri-Hurst | 4 June 2020 at 6:20 am | 81 comments

Nick Herbert: Whitehall musn’t return to business as usual after Coronavirus. We need radical, energetic, can-do fusion government.

Reshaping Whitehall must be sanctioned by the Prime Minister, but he can empower the Government’s proven reformer, Michael Gove, to drive change.

By Nick Herbert | 3 June 2020 at 11:30 am | 47 comments

Graham Brady: As it stands, the quarantine plan won’t work, will wreck holidays, damage aviation – and lose jobs

It would be a sad irony if we chose to shut down the international connectivity on which so much of our prosperity depends.

By Sir Graham Brady MP | 3 June 2020 at 6:50 am | 65 comments

Shanker Singham: EU-style regulation on animal welfare would be the wrong step for Britain

Some of the solutions being proposed for UK trade talks would make it a pariah state in the WTO community.

By Shanker A.Singham | 2 June 2020 at 6:40 am | 82 comments

Roderick Crawford: The UK/EU negotiation. How the impasse on state aid arose and how it can be ended.

It is clear from the Declaration that the Council’s directives for negotiating the future relationship with the UK have departed substantially from it.

By Roderick Crawford | 1 June 2020 at 3:00 pm | 68 comments

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

By Professor Richard Ekins | 31 May 2020 at 6:30 am | 39 comments
