Iain Dale: Davis’s message to the EU should be: we’re not Greece – and won’t be treated like Greece

Plus: Henry Bolton, secret LibDem agent. (Or not.) Penny Mordaunt, next Tory leader. (Or not.) British communists surprise us. (Or don’t.) And: my CNN joy.

By Iain Dale | 9 March 2018 at 6:30 am | 236 comments

Henry Hill: Davidson warns May that she can’t take the votes of Scottish Tory MPs for granted

Also: Welsh Government accused of trying to narrow inquiry into Sargeant’s death; Sturgeon attacks disgraced ex-SNP minister for clinging to seat; and more.

By Henry Hill | 8 March 2018 at 11:00 am | 73 comments

Garvan Walshe: In Italy, the battle is now between tax-paying and tax-eating populists

The vote split along geographic and political grounds; it is hard to see how any proper government can be formed between competing brands of populism.

By Garvan Walshe | 8 March 2018 at 6:30 am | 69 comments

Alex Morton: This new planning framework actually cuts the Government’s housing target. It takes us back – not forwards.

No wonder cynicism is corroding the fabric of our democracy when an announcement briefed to the press has no relationship to the policies unveiled.

By Alex Morton | 7 March 2018 at 6:30 am | 19 comments

James Frayne: Stop and Search. Controversial, yes – but necessary.

One of the complaints that came up from the groups I ran – particularly from those from minority communities – is that some people get treated more leniently than others.

By James Frayne | 6 March 2018 at 11:00 am | 28 comments

Henry Newman: May is right – the EU cherry-picks whenever it is politically convenient. Brexit should be such a time.

From its range of tailor-made trade deals to its habit of allowing Member States to break the rules, Brussels is more flexible than Barnier’s rhetoric might suggest.

By Henry Newman | 6 March 2018 at 6:20 am | 321 comments

Howard Flight: Despite all the forecasts of doom, Brexit is not a ‘darkest hour’ for the UK

We retain a strong underlying negotiation position, due to the fact the EU desires our custom and our money. A free trade agreement should be perfectly feasible.

By Howard Flight | 5 March 2018 at 11:00 am | 150 comments

Rebecca Lowe: More heat than Enlightenment

We must not conflate the progress that scientific advancement offers us with the idea that debate becomes redundant in the face of an increased awareness of scientific fact.

By Rebecca Lowe | 5 March 2018 at 6:20 am | 23 comments

Ashley Fox: Canada illustrates that the bespoke deal May wants is perfectly achievable

I believe last week’s inner cabinet meeting at Chequers will be seen as a key staging post in Britain’s exit from the European Union.

By Ashley Fox MEP | 2 March 2018 at 11:00 am | 151 comments

Iain Dale: Is Barnier now conspiring with Corbyn to bring down May?

Plus: Major’s error. The Prime Minister’s jokes. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. And: the angels want to wear my red suit.

By Iain Dale | 2 March 2018 at 6:30 am | 243 comments

Henry Hill: SNP square up for court battle as Holyrood chief says their Brexit bill is unconstitutional

Also: AMs vote to publish inquiry into whether Jones leaked Sargeant’s sacking; Davidson announces Tory push to form Scottish Government; and more.

By Henry Hill | 1 March 2018 at 11:30 am | 15 comments

Daniel Hannan: Being good at governing is no guarantee of re-election – just ask Harper and Key

Voters habitually opt for parties of the Right when times are tough, only to ditch them for the Left once there’s money to spare. But now populists seek to break the cycle.

By Daniel Hannan MEP | 1 March 2018 at 6:30 am | 61 comments

What should Tories tax? 2) Robert Halfon: We must focus on the lower-paid and the cost of living

Unless we change how we think, speak and apply lower taxes, the Labour cry of ‘tax cuts for the rich’ will remain a powerful slogan.

By Robert Halfon MP | 28 February 2018 at 6:30 am | 79 comments

James Frayne: Capping energy prices is less of a vote-winner than you might assume

What’s more, to have any effect it would need to be part of a broader suite of interventionist policies – territory where Conservatives’ can never out-socialist Labour.

By James Frayne | 27 February 2018 at 12:00 pm | 57 comments

Nicky Morgan: As Turkey shows us, a customs deal with a non-EU member is possible

The briefing about turning a Trade Bill vote into one of confidence unnecessarily raises the temperature between Ministers and Conservative MPs.

By Nicky Morgan MP | 26 February 2018 at 6:30 am | 442 comments
