By Ryan Bourne | 26 January 2022

Policymakers should be asking themselves whose quality of life worsens thanks to the current unplanned mess.

By Dr Sarah Ingham | 26 November 2021

The protests in Europe show why the Government pressed ahead with its ‘big bang’ July reopening

These are two major dangers to indefinite restrictions. One relates to immunity, and the other is around how long people can cope with them.

By Charlotte Gill | 23 November 2021

Robert Halfon: How my new Bill can protect millions of pupils and students from the disaster of future school shutdowns

It seeks to define education settings as essential infrastructure alongside other premises such as power stations, hospitals and food retailers.

By Robert Halfon MP | 3 November 2021

By Georgia L. Gilholy | 22 October 2021

Bim Afolami: The Olympic model of spotting and developing talent should be applied to academia

We need to focus on developing our brightest and most talented people, in a range of different fields, from a young age.

By Bim Afolami MP | 26 July 2021

Emily Carver: Politicians’ refusal to discuss NHS reform is cowardly at best and sinister at worst

Failing to implement – or even entertain the notion of – change helps no-one, aside from perhaps a handful who use the health service for cheap populism.

By Emily Carver | 10 March 2021

Garvan Walshe: We can be sure that those who have been vaccinated won’t die of Covid. So the case for lockdowns is vanishing fast.

It’s one thing to endure them to prevent people dying, and for a relatively short period of time; quite another because we might return to this situation.

By Garvan Walshe | 18 February 2021 | 73 comments

Mattie Heaven: Iran’s government is a terrorist regime. British Ministers must face this truth – and act on it.

Maintaining the current diplomatic relations would be a devastating mistake – potentially with fatal consequences.

By Mattie Heaven | 15 February 2021 | 16 comments

Kristian Niemietz: What difference does the size of the state make to how is deals with Covid? None.

Garvan Walshe: Gloomy Sturgeon projects competence. The Government doesn’t – and the Union may be the price it pays.

The Scottish leader has always tried to temper expectations about the country’s fight with Covid. This could pay off in an independence referendum.

By Garvan Walshe | 19 November 2020 | 41 comments

Robert Halfon: This time round, let’s keep the schools open – and not risk an epidemic of education poverty

And if the Chief Medical Officer says that the situation is rapidly becoming much worse, and that urgent action is needed, who am I to argue?

By Robert Halfon MP | 4 November 2020 | 6 comments

Iain Dale: Stop this utter selfishness and pathetic whinging about not having a normal Christmas to look forward to

Plus: After the kidnapping of this Christian girl, we should cut off aid to Pakistan. And: Muslims must face up the fact that terror is claimed in their name.

By Iain Dale | 30 October 2020 | 205 comments

Stephen Booth: The Brexit trade talks, the romance and realities of fishing, and its crucial importance for Scotland

Macron has been steadfast in his belief that the EU should stand firm on access to UK waters. He may be forced to compromise, however.
