Daniel Hannan: The China genocide amendment. Trade sanctions punish the innocent – and make fortunes for oppressive regimes

Though micro-measures aimed at those responsible might work: travel bans, asset seizures, arrest warrants.

By Lord Hannan | 17 February 2021 at 6:40 am | 11 comments

Radical: Cherry and the SNP. Gender ideology is being used as a proxy for control of the party.

And this power struggle carries with it serious threats to free speech and democratic accountability.

By Radical | 17 February 2021 at 6:30 am | 12 comments

James Frayne: The 0.7 per cent. Polling suggests that the Tory rebels should aim to bring it back later – not save it now.

The danger for them of not striking a deal now is that a vote on bringing the target back will be an even harder battle to win later.

By James Frayne | 16 February 2021 at 11:00 am | 18 comments

Ryan Bourne: The lifting of lockdown. Yes to prudence but no to pessimism. The projections of these gloomy scientists seem absurd.

If first dose efficacy proves strong, the Prime Minister will have to break with those who fail to think about the marginal costs and benefits of shutdowns.

By Ryan Bourne | 16 February 2021 at 6:30 am | 61 comments

Richard Holden: Dogs have been a comfort during the shutdown. There’s more we can do to protect them – and other animals.

Sadly, reports of thefts have surged in the UK, and now litter many local Facebook groups. And then there’s puppy-smuggling.

By Richard Holden MP | 15 February 2021 at 6:30 am | 30 comments

David Gauke: Ten years for lying on a form. Disproportionate – and characteristic of our cavalier approach to sentencing.

If we impose yet more draconian prison sentences to win a political arms race, the burdens on the taxpayer will become unsustainable.

By David Gauke | 13 February 2021 at 6:30 am | 63 comments

Iain Dale: Why would any sensible person even think about booking a holiday in countries with low immunisation rates?

Plus: Twitter seems to know more about my medical state than my GP. And: Kuenssberg’s unguarded moment.

By Iain Dale | 12 February 2021 at 6:30 am | 79 comments

Henry Hill: Gove’s challenge – what if the Protocol ends up threatening the peace in Northern Ireland?

The problem with conjuring the threat of republican terrorism to oppose a land border is the signal it sends to their loyalist counterparts.

By Henry Hill | 11 February 2021 at 11:30 am | 60 comments

Stephen Booth: The main benefits of joining this Pacific trade partnership would be strategic

Future deals will be important but they should be viewed as a means to an end rather than an end in of themselves

By Stephen Booth | 11 February 2021 at 6:30 am | 58 comments

Emily Carver: An online sales tax would be a clear-cut case of levelling down

The belief that by hammering one sector of the economy you’ll help another is more reminiscent of socialist ideology than free market conservatism.

By Emily Carver | 10 February 2021 at 6:40 am | 44 comments

Robert Halfon: Let’s extend the school day to help children catch up after Covid – and civil society can step in

Organisations should be invited in, to offer pupils professional mental health support, as well as sports activities and academic catch-up tuition.

By Robert Halfon MP | 10 February 2021 at 6:30 am | 14 comments

Andy Street: My transport plan will get the West Midlands moving as never before

From reversing the Beeching cuts to pioneering ‘Very Light Rail’, it shows what a Conservative mayor, working with Government, can do.

By Andy Street | 9 February 2021 at 11:30 am | 10 comments

Neil O’Brien: Imperfect vaccines, new variants, domestic mutations. Why there must be no rush out of lockdown.

We need to pace ourselves. We don’t want to go for a big bang reopening only to trigger a new wave and be forced backwards.

By Neil O Brien MP | 8 February 2021 at 6:30 am | 110 comments

Iain Dale: Ofcom was right to revoke the license of CGTN. It shouldn’t stop there, though.

Plus: It’s been a bad week for Starmer. And: is it time to bring back the big beasts of the Labour jungle?

By Iain Dale | 5 February 2021 at 6:30 am | 57 comments

Henry Hill: As the Scottish Government digs in, calls grow for a judge-led inquiry into the Salmond scandal

Also: Downing Street shakes up the Union Unit as it goes on the attack over the SNP’s botched handling of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout.

By Henry Hill | 4 February 2021 at 12:00 pm | 81 comments
