Iain Dale: 400,000 police records have gone. In the Blair years, home secretaries were forced to resign over less.

Plus: Where have Allegra Stratton’s live press conferences got to? And why I hate Twitter.

By Iain Dale | 22 January 2021 at 6:30 am | 90 comments

Henry Hill: Welsh Conservative leader under pressure to quit over Senedd drinking session

Some fear this is part of deeper struggle within the party as a prominent pro-devolution MS is deselected by local activists.

By Henry Hill | 21 January 2021 at 12:00 pm | 20 comments

Ryan Bourne: A reassuringly conservative speech from Starmer’s Shadow Chancellor. The Tories will need to up their game.

This is not to say that all of Dodds’ analysis is coherent or correct, but the days of unhinged Corbynite attacks on capitalism are over.

By Ryan Bourne | 20 January 2021 at 6:30 am | 7 comments

Daniel Hannan: If a restaurant can refuse to serve you, Amazon can refuse to host Parler

Likewise, if a cruise ship wants proof of vaccination before you board, it should have the right to. Here’s why.

By Daniel Hannan | 20 January 2021 at 6:20 am | 57 comments

James Frayne: Sunak must resist those calling for radical action on tax

This is a good moment for targeted, well-justified interventions, but creating lots of new losers through sweeping hikes would be insane.

By James Frayne | 19 January 2021 at 12:00 pm | 96 comments

Radical: A University lesson from the Kathleen Stock fracas. It’s harder to support her if you’re a younger academic.

Not when they know that their peers – and the academic administrators they depend on for preferment – are watching for any ‘misstep’.

By Radical | 19 January 2021 at 6:20 am | 32 comments

Richard Holden: Biden’s inauguration this week boosts Britain’s new opportunity to pivot to the world

With a new president in place, and the UK’s G7 presidency up and running, we will have a new Indo-Pacific trading opportunity.

By Richard Holden MP | 18 January 2021 at 6:30 am | 9 comments

David Gauke: The Covid paradox for Johnson: the nearer to normality we get, the more difficulties he’ll have

The Government should begin to dash unrealistic expectations now, rather than be forced to do so later.

By David Gauke | 16 January 2021 at 6:00 am | 50 comments

Iain Dale: Biden has neither the imagination nor energy to heal his tearful nation

Plus: What I discovered when I interviewed James Comey. And why I can’t think of a single interesting anecdote or conclusion from Tim Sainsbury’s memoir.

By Iain Dale | 15 January 2021 at 6:30 am | 128 comments

Henry Hill: MSPs concerned that Scottish Government spent tens of thousands ‘preparing’ witnesses

Also: Johnson and Gove set to meet to plot their pro-Union strategy as a Tory MSP defends to Nigel Farage’s new party.

By Henry Hill | 14 January 2021 at 12:30 pm | 29 comments

Garvan Walshe: Conservatives need to choose. Are they with democracy or with the Capitol terrorists?

The main issue is not that the latter’s actions are extreme, but that they’re anti-constitutional.

By Garvan Walshe | 14 January 2021 at 6:20 am | 80 comments

Robert Halfon: The levelling-up ladder risks being knocked away by Covid-inspired decisions on education

Children’s opportunities in life will suffer as a result of school closures – and there still hasn’t been much data to explain why they were needed.

By Robert Halfon MP | 13 January 2021 at 6:30 am | 8 comments

Andy Street: The big opportunity for the West Midlands in the small print of the EU deal

The ‘rules of origin’ requirements give us a chance to reshore much of the supply chain – and the skilled jobs it creates – for our automotive industry.

By Andy Street | 12 January 2021 at 10:00 am | 18 comments

Neil O’Brien: Trumpism in Britain. It’s time to call out those in the media who cynically feed the cranks, rioters and conspiracists.

One of our best selling papers recently ran a piece promoting the views of an “NHS worker” who claimed hospitals were “empty” and Covid was a “hoax”.

By Neil O Brien MP | 11 January 2021 at 6:30 am | 121 comments

Iain Dale: The social media companies claim that they aren’t publishers. But their ban on the President proves that they are.

Plus: Biden won fair and square, Trump’s allegations of fraud have been dismissed by the courts – and one can be a conservative and say so.

By Iain Dale | 8 January 2021 at 6:30 am | 57 comments
