Is the Home Office blunderingly incompetent, or deliberately obstructive? Bad news: it’s a combination of both.

One or the other would be easier to solve – and politically helpful to at least somebody. As it is, our immigration system exhibits the worst of both worlds.

By Mark Wallace | 19 April 2018 | 36 comments

James Frayne: Remain-voting ministers don’t understand voters’ views on immigration, and so wildly overcompensate

Aggressive Home Office measures appear to be designed by people who wrongly assume that illiberal ideas must appeal to the primitive desires of the masses.

WATCH: Windrush 2) Rudd – “I am very sorry for any confusion or anxiety felt”

WATCH: Windrush 1) Lammy – “How many people have been deported?”

“It is inhumane and cruel for so many of that generation to have suffered for so long in this condition.”

Matt Kilcoyne: To reduce gang violence, support the police, and boost the economy, legalise drugs

The party that grasps the nettle and frees up the market will reap the political dividend, just as the Liberals did in Canada. Prohibition has failed.

May’s diplomatic coup against Russia sees her bounce back in our Cabinet League Table

Truss moves up into the middle of the table, Williamson drops towards the floor, and Gauke slumps into the red over Warboys.

Rees-Mogg tops our Next Tory Leader survey for the third month running

The changes in the ratings of the top three are almost unchanged, another tribute to the consistency of the poll.

Andrew Green: The Government has lost its way on immigration – and the Home Secretary shows no interest in reducing it

We should not allow ourselves, in the next phase of negotiations, to be drawn into further migration concessions in exchange for trade concessions.

By Lord Green | 26 March 2018 | 220 comments

What should our post-Brexit immigration policy look like?

Countries with which we strike future trade deals – the top priority for Party members according to our survey – should be treated more favourably than those with which we don’t.

Mordaunt climbs to second in our Cabinet League Table, while Gove retains the top spot

The International Development Secretary’s response to the Oxfam scandal appears to have impressed Party members.

By Mark Wallace | 7 March 2018 | 138 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 | 28 comments

No change in our Next Tory Leader survey result. Rees-Mogg is top – then Gove, then Johnson.

Meanwhile, 51 per cent of respondents believe that Theresa May should resign as Party leader before the next election.

WATCH: Rudd – “The decision to leave the EU was not all about the economy. It was about sovereignty as well.”

The Home Secretary also says that the economy will grow and that Treasury forecasts don’t tell one everything.

A bright start in our Cabinet League Table for McVey, Lewis, Hancock & Hinds. Hammond’s rating heads west.

And the Prime Minister, tenth in the table last time round, is back in negative territory and second from bottom.

By Paul Goodman | 2 February 2018 | 156 comments

Our survey – Next Tory leader. Three Brexiteers lead, as last month: Rees-Mogg, Gove and Johnson.

Respondents are much where they were a few weeks ago, for all the turmoil that has taken place since the reshuffle.
