Mark Lehain: The Government can’t afford to surrender in the war on woke

The fifth piece in a ConHome series this week on the Prime Minister’s Reset Moment – and what should follow from it.

Damian Green: Why a forced choice between a Brexity North and a Globalist South would be a false one – and damage our Party

The first of a ConHome series this week on Boris Johnson’s Reset Moment – and what should follow from it.

Iain Dale: Trump is displaying all the signs of believing his own lies. And he is undermining democracy itself.

The fact, however, that he has won five million more votes than he did in 2016 does tell us that we cannot write him off as an aberration.

Iain Dale: The way the BBC and Sky News behave, you’d think we are the only country in the world with a second wave

Plus: Free school meals, Pointless Celebrities, Bower’s book And: “Did the honourable lady just call me scum?” Your chance to drink to that.

Daniel Hannan: Clever, inquisitive and, crucially, independent, Charles Moore would be the perfect BBC chairman

His critics display the close-mindedness that they falsely suspect in him. Indeed, you won’t find a less partisan man.

Dacre, Moore, Neil. Is triple change coming for the BBC?

Dacre has said that he “would die in a ditch defending it as a great civilising force”, and Moore grasps the Corporation’s original Reithian mission.

Scott Benton: Why we must win the culture war – and deliver a Blue Collar programme for the economy

We must demonstrate that we are able to protect the values that people cherish, and provide the means through which their lives can be improved.

Conservatives can’t be neutral about culture

Clashes over Black Lives Matter or Extinction Rebellion are noisy, nasty – and, by definition, impossible for Johnson to keep out of.

Andrew Bowie: We need to rediscover the quiet strength of British patriotism

Our tradition has never been the pomp and exuberance of Bastille Day or the Fourth of July. But we must do more to bring this country together.

Iain Dale: Good luck to Robbie Gibb’s prospective challenger to the BBC and Sky. And to News UK if it has a go, too.

Plus: Russia’s opposition leader was poisoned, so now slap Magnitsky sanctions on Putin. And: Phil Collins’ ungracious departure.

Philip Booth: The BBC should be owned by subscribers

We should be able to choose whether we support the BBC with our wallets – the economic case for licence fees has evaporated.

Televised press briefings are an ill-conceived American transplant that Britain should reject

The coronavirus press conferences gave us a glimpse of what a government agenda built around one-upping the evening news will look like.

David Gauke: We’re urged to return to the office – but Ministers must face the fact that the world of work is changing.

Plus: On Last Night of the Proms, I get in touch with my inner Farage. And: On Brexit, it’s crunch time as the end of transition approaches.

Iain Dale: Davey is the new LibDem leader. But only 57 per cent of his party’s members could be bothered to vote.

Plus: Any Questions, Cross Question, why Williamson and Gibb should go – and why Johnson’s masks policy isn’t a U-turn.

These BBC Bourbons who have learned nothing and forgotten nothing risk precipitating their own downfall

Anyone else would have known that vandalising the Last Night of the Proms would provoke a furious reaction.
