How Johnson keeps out Zemmour

But beware, Prime Minister: there is no divine right of parties any more than there was a divine right of kings.

Sarah Ingham: People voted to take back control of Britain’s borders. The Government must now do so.

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

Emily Carver: Kate Bingham is right – the machinery of government is in trouble. It’s time Johnson proved he has a vision.

Unfortunately, ever-increasing public spending and green policies inspire little confidence in the Prime Minister.

Richard Holden: It’s time for the Government to make more of Tory MPs’ achievements and fewer errors itself

The Health and Social Care Bill contains some important measures that you won’t see splashed broadly across the mainstream media.

There should be a growth target to complement the inflation target – to drive government departments to take actions that will promote more UK activity and jobs.

How likely is a referendum on Net Zero?

Not very, unfortunately. That’s not to say, however, that the Government shouldn’t pay more attention to voters.

James Frayne: The Conservatives’ next challenge? Persuading voters they know how to cut Government waste.
