James Roberts: Johnson and Sunak shouldn’t kid themselves. Voters are not impressed by astronomical tax bills.

Figures released by the TaxPayers’ Alliance show that average household can already expect to pay over £1.1 million in tax over their lifetimes.

By James Roberts | 31 January 2022

Daniel Hannan: Where is the money coming from? The question that Conservatives don’t know how to answer.

Billions have already been briefed in advance of today’s budget, as if Britain were a country with a healthy budget surplus.

By Lord Hannan | 27 October 2021

David Lidington: There’s no alternative to our American alliance. But we also need a new strategic relationship with our European allies.

A lot can be done through NATO structures like the Northern Group that brings together its members and partner countries.

By David Lidington | 27 August 2021

Duncan Simpson: With the Covid bill standing at £372 billion, the Government’s spending spree looks increasingly unsustainable

Much of Westminster seems hell bent on pursuing net zero – never mind what this means for the average household.

By Duncan Simpson | 26 July 2021

John O’Connell: Presiding over the biggest tax burden in 70 years is surely a legacy Johnson must be keen to avoid

In one of an occasional series we are running in advance of the Budget, some radical suggestions for kickstarting the British economy.

By John O'Connell | 2 February 2021 | 17 comments

Alistair Lexden: On this day, 75 years ago – VJ Day at Westminster

By happy chance, it coincided with the State Opening of the new Parliament, elected in July, which was ‘restored to something of its pristine splendour’.

By Lord Lexden | 15 August 2020 | 14 comments

The Conservatives risk obsession with China to the exclusion of other threats, including Russia and Islamist extremism

As the great eye of the Conservative Party swivels its gaze towards the Far East, it’s in danger of missing other threats that are closer to home.

By Paul Goodman | 15 July 2020 | 80 comments

Bevin, the working-class John Bull who stood up to Stalin and has no successors in today’s Labour Party

Andrew Adonis’s new biography of “the first of a new breed of ‘common man’ who would manage the British state” and became one of the great Foreign Secretaries.

By Andrew Gimson | 11 July 2020 | 32 comments

No, Prime Minister. Overseas aid and foreign policy aren’t “one and the same”

Furthermore, the change creates a brand new cart to put before the horse – that’s to say, the awaited defence and security review.

By Paul Goodman | 16 June 2020 | 104 comments

Robert Halfon: We will need a Remembrance Day to honour our Corona Heroes

Plus: And a Coronavirus Social Justice Minister. Give thanks for Starmer. And: it’s time for a Virtual Parliament.

By Robert Halfon MP | 8 April 2020 | 43 comments

David Gauke: The virus – and my journey from serving as Lord Chancellor to volunteering to stack shelves

Plus: Treasury and Work & Pensions lessons. Greenlighters v the rest. Remembering Attlee’s surplus. And: the key question now is “how”, not “what”.

By David Gauke | 28 March 2020 | 71 comments

“If you go ‘transgender rights are our big thing’, you are going to lose that culture war”

How the Conservatives are winning and Labour losing the working class – a pattern that the latter’s leadership candidates are set to repeat.

By Paul Goodman | 24 February 2020 | 212 comments

Labour will ignore Blair’s speech yesterday. But Tories should take note.

His message, that the Conservatives will win if the electoral battle is on identity politics and culture wars, is correct.

By Harry Phibbs | 21 February 2020 | 97 comments

John O’Connell: The tax choice ahead. Johnson, and the highest burden since Attlee. Or Corbyn, and…the highest ever.

The tax burden isn’t a full measure of the size of the state. But it’s arguably the pre-eminent factor and certainly that which most concerns the TaxPayers’ Alliance.

By John O'Connell | 9 December 2019 | 28 comments

Neil Shastri-Hurst: NATO’s problems today include three Presidents…and a prospective Prime Minister

Trump, Erdogan and Macron all pose difficulties for the alliance. Corbyn in Downing Street would pose deeper and more dangerous ones.

By Neil Shastri-Hurst | 4 December 2019 | 26 comments
