Nadhim Zahawi: Our Government should make it clear that Trump is on his own over Iran

The President himself hasn’t set out what he would like to happen next, and has provided no detailed plan for what would replace the current agreement.

Iain Dale: My listeners praised May for having the guts to do our phone-in. They were right.

All credit to her. She’s the first prime minister since Tony Blair to do one phone-in outside an election period. They always carry a slight risk for a politician.

Daniel Hannan: The modern politician must learn about psychology, and how evolution moulds our minds

Just as the MPs of the 1970s realised the need to understand economics, the MPs of the 21st Century must understand how we think, and why.

Nicky Morgan: Party members are fed up with being sidelined. And six other lessons from Manchester.

There was a genuine sense of grievance that policy suggestions and campaigning ideas are never listened to.

Howard Flight: Today’s Mayite Conservatives have embraced a socialist ethic – with wishy-washy, opportunistic policies.

Mercifully, there remain a few Thatcherites, even in the Cabinet, who believe in the power of liberty, responsibility, commerce and voluntary action.
