Sarah Ingham: After the Batley protests and on this Easter Saturday, a case for tolerating religious belief

In Britain, we don’t ‘do God’ too much. Should we go to church, most are not C of E, but C and E – Christmas and Easter.

By Dr Sarah Ingham | 3 April 2021 at 6:30 am

Iain Dale: The Government’s race review had some positive findings. So why are ministers avoiding the media rounds?

I tried to get Badenoch on my show, but it was a straight “no” from Number 10 (as usual).

By Iain Dale | 2 April 2021 at 6:30 am

Henry Hill: Is the Alba Party the separatist movement’s answer to Leave.EU?

It might allow Sturgeon to focus on the progressive, europhile case for independence whilst Salmond rallies leavers and cultural conservatives.

By Henry Hill | 1 April 2021 at 12:00 pm

Garvan Walshe: Merkeldammerung. Germany’s polls put the Greens within striking distance of government.

A traffic light coalition? A Jamaica coalition? Who knows? What’s certain is that the CDU/CSU is struggling amidst a fragmenting landscape.

By Garvan Walshe | 1 April 2021 at 6:30 am

Daniel Hannan: I hate everything about the lockdown. But most of all, how much we like being bossed around.

An alien visitor, judging only from the texture of daily life, would assume that Britain in early 2021 was a far more repressive state than Russia or China.

By Lord Hannan | 31 March 2021 at 6:40 am

James Frayne: Four lessons for industry and government from the monstering of AstraZeneca

To make ‘global Britain’ work, ministers will need to do more to defend British companies against politically-motivated attacks.

By James Frayne | 30 March 2021 at 12:00 pm

Ryan Bourne: We can never be certain of the costs and benefits of lockdowns

Overall, I still think that their re-use in the UK after the summer lull is evidence of the failure of the Government to think on the right margins.

By Ryan Bourne | 30 March 2021 at 6:30 am

Richard Holden: This spring’s local elections. For levelling-up to work, we need local councils and leaders who back it.

The sad truth is that many local Labour councils and local bureaucracies don’t want it: they’re scared of it.

By Richard Holden MP | 29 March 2021 at 6:30 am

David Gauke: I’m a convinced Remainer – but believe nonetheless that the EU has mishandled its vaccine policy

All the same, we have to make this relationship work – because, if we do not, both sides have the capacity to do each other a lot of harm.

By David Gauke | 27 March 2021 at 6:30 am

Iain Dale: I see Prince Harry is now a misinformation officer. May I suggest he starts with a certain interview.

Plus: Why did it take the police so long to investigate the endemic corruption within Liverpool City Council?

By Iain Dale | 26 March 2021 at 6:20 am

Henry Hill: Ross’s blitzkrieg didn’t bring down Sturgeon, but Fabius Johnson can yet deny her the prize

The constitutional struggle is a long game, and in the ‘war of position’ unionism is in a stronger position than the SNP would have you think.

By Henry Hill | 25 March 2021 at 12:00 pm

Stephen Booth: The Integrated Review marks a further step towards the wider world and away from the European Union

Due to internal tensions, the Union can lack coherence and focus, often particularly evident in its efforts to implement a collective foreign policy.

By Stephen Booth | 25 March 2021 at 6:30 am

Emily Carver: Making misogyny a hate crime would be a big mistake

It should worry us all that a Conservative government is even on board with the concept of a hate crime.

By Emily Carver | 24 March 2021 at 6:40 am

Robert Halfon: Patriotism is important to people – whatever the liberal elite thinks – and there’s nothing wrong with that

Plus: There must be a national inquiry led by the Department for Education or Ofsted to establish what has gone on in our schools.

By Robert Halfon MP | 24 March 2021 at 6:30 am

Andy Street: The BBC’s Birmingham plans represent a cultural levelling up that this country needs

There are very, very few shows where you can see life here on your screens, or hear our accents.

By Andy Street | 23 March 2021 at 12:00 pm
