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 | 46 comments

Ryan Bourne: “Levelling the playing field” is no argument for an online sales tax

Wind and nuclear power both produce electricity. But if someone said we needed a tax on wind power to subsidise nuclear, you’d think they were mad.

By Ryan Bourne | 5 August 2020 | 33 comments

Neil O’Brien: Like fax machines, pagers and your old macarena CD, it’s time to bin the 1990s

The ideas of that decade are still with us, staggering around like a zombie in a garish “Global Hypercolor” t-shirt.

By Neil O Brien MP | 15 June 2020 | 49 comments

Face masks: Is Johnson hostage to peer pressure?

The Government is under pressure to tell the public to wear face masks. But if there’s not enough evidence, why?

By Charlotte Gill | 1 May 2020 | 120 comments

Ryan Bourne: The upside-world of virus economics. And why we free marketeers must adapt our usual ways of thinking.

The theoretical aim of policy then should be bridging over what is hopefully a short pause in activity – eliminating near-term distress for households and businesses.

By Ryan Bourne | 18 March 2020 | 18 comments

Robert Halfon: Beware, fellow MPs. Once we’ve left the Palace of Westminster, we may never return.

Plus: Is a stronger Labour Leader better for the Conservatives? And: Amazing Amazon advertising.

By Robert Halfon MP | 12 February 2020 | 34 comments

Ryan Bourne: Why billionaries are a sign of a fair society

It stretches credulity to just assume that rent-seeking or uncompetitive markets account for all British top wealth.

By Ryan Bourne | 13 November 2019 | 21 comments

Rory Stewart: Of course there’s a climate emergency. Here’s a wide-ranging Conservative programme to tackle it.

Saving our planet will require a very eclectic bunch of policies. The task calls for moral courage and grinding common-sense.

By Rory Stewart MP | 1 May 2019 | 125 comments

Andy Street: A message to the Chancellor. Tax Amazon more and small businesses less.

Nevertheless, tax alone won’t solve our challenge. Instead we must reshape the high street experience – as we’re starting to do in the West Midlands.

By Andy Street | 23 October 2018 | 23 comments

Welby’s next stop should be a small business conference

His TUC account of the harm that some businesses can do should be balanced by one of the good that more do – and by projecting a personal theology of wealth creation.

By Paul Goodman | 14 September 2018 | 81 comments

Ze’ev Portner: The Conservatives could win over lifelong Labour voters, like me, by championing those trapped on low wages

Middle class Corbynistas are more concerned with the rights of Palestinians than they are with working conditions to be found in an Amazon warehouse in Staffordshire.

By Ze'ev Portner | 13 June 2018 | 50 comments

Chris Whitehouse: The BBC needs to welcome and respond to scrutiny

Its reputation and market share has taken a buffeting recently, but its position is recoverable.

By Chris Whitehouse | 18 March 2018 | 151 comments

Leon Emirali: Forget social media. Focus on the next frontier of digital campaigning.

The Conservatives need a strategy to dominate VR, a presence in voice-controlled tech and – yes – a ‘Maybot’ chatbot.

By Leon Emirali | 18 January 2018 | 17 comments

Interview: Kemi Badenoch – “I’m not really left-leaning on anything…I always lean right instinctively”

She voted for Davis in 2005, and her hero is Airey Neave: “The escape from Colditz is I think probably the coolest thing any British politician has ever done.”

By Andrew Gimson | 21 December 2017 | 9 comments

Jon Aydon: The north’s Labour leaders have gained new powers and money – now they must present a vision to match

Decades of under-investment in transport are being corrected – but we need an ambitious strategy for what comes next.
