Daniel Hannan: Revolutionary Iran is a threat to our national security – not just regional stability. It must be confronted and defeated.

During the years when the West sought to draw Iran back into the comity of nations, the ayatollahs backed terrorist bombs, cyberattacks, and drone shootings.

Phoebe Griffith: Like Hannan, I have lived in Peru. But my take on its recent story is very different.

The legacy of the Fujimorista regime has shaped Peru to this day, and has been far more pervasive and corrosive than General Velasco’s.

Howard Flight: Why the time has come for drug legalisation

Confessions of use in their youth by politicians raises the case for controlled legalisation – at least of ‘soft’ substances, if not yet of hard ones.

Dominic Walsh: What a customs union does and doesn’t do – and how it compares to the backstop.

Precisely because it would be a rather unnecessary addition to the current deal, it is hard to argue that the proposal would be a disaster for Brexit.

Natasha Hausdorff: The proscription of Hezbollah is welcome – though overdue

It will be a significant step forward in keeping this heinous organisation from inciting hatred on our streets.

Daniel Hannan: The Gang of Four caused a split. The Gang of Eight have caused only a splinter.

As long as traditional Labour voters stick with the party, opportunities for the Independent Group will be limited.

Alastair Thompson: Corbyn – an apologist for the tyrant who rules Venezuela by fear. Let a Commons vote put him on the spot.

Let’s see if Labour stands with Venezuela’s oppressed. For what party could truly say that it supports labour, while lending support to the butchery of labourers?

WATCH: “Britain is open for business” was May’s message to the G20

The Prime Minister says she told world leaders “we are looking forward to future trade agreements”.

Ben Roback: Shelbrooke scours the world for campaigning advice and new alliances

The Conservative Party’s Vice Chair for International tells me about his priorities in the role.

Daniel Hannan: My view of May’s new Brexit plan. It’s just about better than No Deal. But now a line in the sand must be drawn.

Preparing for no deal ought therefore to be our national priority – cuts in corporate and personal taxes, removal of regulations, openness to global business.

Iain Dale: A betrayal, a contortion, a rash, a shambles, a schism, a squabble. What’s the best collective noun for Cabinet ministers?

And: One Greg Clark. Two Vince Cables. Eleven Germans going home. 100,000 Remain protesters. 17 million Leave voters. Plus: Meanwhile, Javid gets on with his job.

Rupert Matthews: We don’t just need a good Brexit deal for Britain. We need one for the Falkland Islands too.

They benefit from tariff and quota-free access. If you eat calamari in southern Europe, there is about a 50 per cent chance it is a Falklands squid.

Daniel Hannan: Corbyn’s first instinct in a national crisis is to treat it as a way to attack the Tories – much to Putin’s satisfaction

Ask one question: In what conflict has Jeremy Corbyn ever been on Britain’s side? He always finds a way of blaming the world’s problems on the West.

Warwick Lightfoot: The right post-Brexit farming policy could unleash agricultural innovation and lighten the load on consumers

Reform must be phased, to allow farmers to adapt, but it will pay dividends.

WATCH – Howard: May would be prepared to go to war with Spain over Gibraltar

“Another woman Prime Minister sent a task force halfway across the world to protect another small group of British people against another Spanish-speaking country.”
