Malcolm Rifkind: We need a global response to Beijing’s belligerence, inhumanity and mendacity

Tonight, a major new report will be launched by the Conservative Party Human Rights Commission, which sheds a light on Xi Jinping’s brutal regime.

Jamie Greene: Now that Brexit has finally happened, Scotland’s ambitions must stretch beyond Europe

Instead of listening to what Scotland can’t do without Brussels, I want our government to start talking about the opportunities on our doorstep.

Graham Allen: It’s time to review our democracy on a sustainable all-party basis

We must make it strong enough to transcend the complacency, elitism and populism that threaten its very existence.

The Deal in Detail 6): Law and Constitution

The fifth of a series of pieces from Policy Exchange looking at specific issues that arise from the Brexit trade deal.

Ranil Jayawardena: The trade deals keep coming. And today, as the new EU agreement takes effect, we look forward to more.

We have now secured 97 per cent of the trade value that we set out to reach agreements for first, beyond the EU. And there’s more to come.

Alberto Costa: There are too many barriers to Britishness. Post-Brexit, it’s time for a more welcoming citizenship policy.

A positive agenda would encourage those whom we are now seeking to attract to take that extra step.

Daniel Hannan: How the EU must wish it had accepted May’s Chequers offer

The truth is that Eurocrats see Britain as a rule-taking dependent, like Macedonia or Ukraine, rather than as a wholly independent nation.

Garvan Walshe: Democracies need to pull together to stop Chinese subversion of the open global economy

We deceived ourselves into thinking that as China grew richer, its political system would become more democratic.

Joel Gladwin: International rivals are catching up on the UK’s fintech success. Here’s how we can defend our crown.

The approach towards a functional open finance ecosystem can be quicker, leaner and more agile than the EU’s.

Alexander Downer: A forward-thinking UK should shift the weight of its strategic policy towards the Indo-Pacific region

Home to some of the fastest-growing economies of the 21st century, it has never been more urgent to build new trading relationships there.

John O’Connell: To ensure efficient government spending, we need a new Parliamentary Budget Committee

A dedicated body could focus on scrutinising the economy and effectiveness of future plans. Australia and New Zealand already have similar models.

Stephen Booth: Brexit-related concerns about a Biden presidency are overblown. The reality is more nuanced.

From wanting to tackle climate change, to striving for greater security cooperation, the PM and US president share many of the same goals.

Liz Truss: The naysayers doubted the speed of the UK’s deal with Japan. But it’s here – and takes us closer to more.

This agreement paves the way for what could be the most exciting step yet for Global Britain’s independent trading story.

David Davis: We are on course to be trapped in never-ending shutdowns with no exit route. Here is an alternative strategy.

We need to separate the Nightingales from other hospitals, build more of them – and use them as a means of isolating the infected.

Johnson’s quiet shift to a more permissive migration policy

He is averse to using numbers as the main instrument of control – perhaps viewing them as an arbitrary measure of success.
