Richard Ritchie: Why I believe that Enoch Powell would have supported this Brexit trade deal

His archivist writes that this agreement has succeeded…in recovering powers which some thought had been lost permanently”.

By Richard Ritchie | 29 December 2020 | 21 comments

John Redwood: Why we would be better off with No Deal

Here’s how can now use our freedoms as we leave – assuming there is no last-minute wish to be sensible by the EU and agree a free trade deal.

By Sir John Redwood MP | 14 December 2020 | 132 comments

David Gauke: As a non-Tory at the last election, my worry is that this Government won’t be Conservative enough

As a former Chief Secretary to the Treasury, I am uneasy about the bail-out of Flybe. Every time a private business is bailed out by the taxpayer, the pressure grows.

By David Gauke | 18 January 2020 | 164 comments

Geoffrey Clifton-Brown: May failed to lead Britain out of the EU – but her successor can yet succeed

There may be greater willingness by Brussels to negotiate following populist successes in the European elections.

By Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP | 25 May 2019 | 132 comments

Stanley Johnson: Unplugging or unscrambling? Lamy, high priest of harmonisation, sets out a Brexit choice.

I see the former WTO director and Delors chef de Cabinet return to the unresolved debate about high or low alignment.

By Stanley Johnson | 1 May 2019 | 76 comments

Positions on both sides of the Commons are hardening, despite (or because of) the crusade for consensus

Not only are Leavers and Remainers drifting further apart, but the various Remain factions are now engaged in a furious blame game.

By Mark Wallace | 2 April 2019 | 192 comments

WATCH: Boles quits – “I can no longer sit for this Party”

The Grantham and Stamford MP leaves the Conservative benches, to a cry of “Nick, don’t go” from one of his colleagues.

2 April 2019 | 189 comments

Indicative Votes Round Two: 3) Common Market 2.0. 33 Conservatives for. 228 against.

Otherwise known as Norway Plus, those backing the move included Bim Afolami, James Cartlidge and George Eustice.

By Mark Wallace | 2 April 2019

Indicative Votes. Bercow selects four motions. All back either a Softer Brexit, a second referendum – or No Brexit at all.

That’s variously for a customs union; for a custom arrangement plus the Single Market; for a second referendum, and for staying in the EU.

By Mark Wallace | 1 April 2019 | 209 comments

Indicative votes 5) Common Market 2.0. 36 Conservatives for. 225 against.

Those who voted in favour included Boles, Collins and Morgan. Those against, Atkins, Buckland and Green.

By Mark Wallace | 28 March 2019 | 3 comments

George Freeman: We have to deliver a Brexit that the majority of voters can accept

Our party owns this crisis. If we honour the referendum we can shape the next decade. If we don’t then chaos – and Corbyn – await.

By George Freeman MP | 25 March 2019 | 177 comments

Richard Ritchie: Brexit. Four great Commons debates that show how we got here – and what’s at stake.

That’s to say, those of 1950, 1961, 1967 and 1971. Sovereignty was always the key concern, despite arguments over its meaning.

By Richard Ritchie | 6 January 2019 | 113 comments

Nicky Morgan: Chequers is dead. And the only plan that MPs will now vote for is Norway.

There is no Commons majority for no deal, for a Canada deal mark two, or at the moment for a second referendum. But there is a majority for EFTA/EEA.

By Nicky Morgan MP | 24 September 2018 | 220 comments

James Cartlidge: It’s time to board the EEA lifeboat – and set sail towards a New Common Market

The UK plus EFTA would have a greater GDP than Germany. As one, we would be the largest economy in Europe.

By James Cartlidge MP | 27 July 2018 | 190 comments

Nick Boles and Robert Syms: One of us was a Remainer, the other a Leaver. We join now with other Tory MPs to back Theresa May.

Any Cabinet member who throws their toys out of the pram at Chequers will receive a cold shoulder in the tearoom.
