Lower immigration, the unspoken upward pressure on wages

Various Leavers – and the head of the Remain campaign – predicted such an outcome. Now it seems we’re seeing it happen.

Andrew Lilico: Next week, Hammond must present a Budget for Brexit

In the first article of a new mini-series, the economist urges the Chancellor to deploy the savings and revenues secured by leaving the EU.

Rebecca Lowe: Nationalisation. Ask not only: would the state do it better? But also – should it be involved at all?

It was darkly funny to see Labour MPs claiming that nationalisation could fix signals failures when track infrastructure is owned and controlled by the state.

McDonnell is more dangerous than Corbyn – not just because he’s more extreme, but because he is more intelligent

Even the Labour Party itself seems aware that the Shadow Chancellor is visibly more wily than his leader.

The Shadow Chancellor praises Corbyn’s “dignity” in the face of “vilification” by the media.

The tax take is at its highest ever, and yet the Government is looking at ways to raise yet more taxes.

The genius of Adam Smith, who knew there could be no such thing as value-free economics

For relief and refreshment from the hucksters of the present day, turn to Jesse Norman’s account of the great philosopher from Kirkcaldy.

Alex Morton: A win for those spending Ministers would be a defeat for the taxpayer – not just Hammond and Truss

The Comprehensive Spending Review has to be seen as a way to reset the narrative. Government need to focus on reform as a positive – not expenditure.

Rebecca Lowe: Why aren’t more politicians making the moral case for lower taxes?
