Iain Dale: If the Second World War had been fought in the days of 24 hour news channels, we’d have lost

Plus: My video tour of my bookshelves and why I won’t indulge editors. Three times in the last few days I’ve said no to them.

The last thing we need in the fight against this virus is a Ministry of Supply

Johnson’s task is to hire the right people and back them as long as they are getting things done, no matter who they offend in the process.

Patrick Nicholls: Fishing. My part in the movement to take control of it back from the EU.

No guilt attaches to Boris Johnson, unless by betraying the industry a second time he chooses to endorse and embrace that earlier guilt.

The prospect seems remote. But is National Government on its way?

One can conceive of Ministers seeking an all-party public front, and Labour objecting to responsibility with no power.

John Redwood: Lessons for managing civil service obstruction from the Thatcher years. And my role as head of her Policy Unit.

There were plenty of Yes Minister routines and scripts to live through then as now. Much of the system did not like the privatisation programme.

Joe Baron: Leaving the EU is a joyous expression of national self-confidence. For that, we have Thatcher to thank.

If Britain joined in a moment of self-doubt, it voted out as a confident, self-assured, optimistic, outward-looking and independent nation state.

Mark Wallace: How Eurosceptics survived the wilderness years, and returned to win the day

The second piece in our mini-series on the road to Brexit explores the challenges which the anti-EU movement overcame to survive and then thrive.

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.

White hot heat of the technological Cummings?

This new government seems to want to concentrate its energies on giving Britain a cutting edge. Will it succeed where others have failed?

Alistair Lexden: The origins of One Nation – now in fashion once again within the Conservative Party

If Boris Johnson now gives real political substance to what has become an overused catch-phrase, he will recreate the Tories in the image of “ Honest Stan” Baldwin.

How the half a century-long Conservative civil war over Europe was won last week in a single day. By the Brexiteers.

One has to pinch oneself to remember that as recently as last July May was Prime Minister, Hammond Chancellor of the Exchequer and Gauke Lord Chancellor.

“Boris put out his right hand softly and drew the sword out as gently as from a scabbard”.

His big win marks the end of the EU Ascendancy and the beginning of a new era: that of Britain as a sovereign nation.

The election in which the Conservatives finally waved farewell to Thatcher’s ghost

Johnson is a self-described “Brexity Hezza” and now has the chance to mould a Party and country in his own romantic image.

Iain Dale: What now in the reshuffle?

Plus: Leaders who will have to go and reflections on my eleventh general election. How things have changed.

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.
