Lewis Baston: Disraeli’s “leap in the dark” towards modern democracy. 150 years on from the 1867 Reform Act.

Two cheers for a measure that, though mostly about managing, dividing and taming popular opinion, remains a reforming landmark.

Kieron O’Hara: An unloved Prime Minister. An inadequate Foreign Secretary. And a hamstrung Trade Secretary. What a Brexit mess.

This is not a pro-Remain article. Rather, my point is that a referendum is a horrible way of making political decisions, and we are where we are as a direct result.

Howard Flight: So who’s to blame for our productivity problems? Step forward, Gordon Brown

Between 1997 and 2005, public sector spending rose from £336 billion to £517 billion a year. But its output has increased little, so its productivity has fallen dramatically.

There are also political risks for the Government to agreeing an “exit fee” to the EU

Most people would resent any payments after we cease being members.

Oliver Cooper: The claim that rich foreigners are driving up house prices is a myth

Just 0.6 per cent of London homes – and 0.8 per cent nationally – are vacant for more than six months. That’s down hugely in recent years.

Antoinette Sandbach: We won’t make a success of Brexit if we don’t boost productivity

We should seek the closest possible relationship with the EU and an open trade policy. Firms need confidence to invest.

History demonstrates why a new pro-EU party would be doomed

Churchill saw a century ago that the existing party machines will always prove the stronger, and UKIP and the SDP have confirmed this.

Cutting air pollution is a hot potato, flung from one pair of hands to another

All agree that something must be done. But everyone would prefer that someone else is the one to do it.

Rebecca Lowe Coulson: At what point would Remainers give up on the EU – if ever?

Unresolved questions about refugees, debt crises, security, and general financial instability will force these questions on more people, and not just Britons.

Chris Grayling: Don’t claim that I didn’t warn you about Corbyn

When I wrote on this website last year that we should not underestimate him, some ridiculed my argument. Now we have to educate a new generation about the dangers of Labour.

Garvan Walshe: We need a time-limited Brexit transition to unite the country

We simply don’t know yet what outcome could command a broad consensus. Everything short of no deal and remaining in the EU should be kept on the table.

Christopher Howarth: NATO will survive both Trump and Merkel’s criticisms. But it might not survive a Prime Minister Corbyn.

The idea that Brexit is a threat to defence co-operation is a myth.

Corbyn, terror’s useful idiot

There is no foreign policy that could appease the likes of the Manchester terrorists. Islamists damn us if we intervene, and damn us if we don’t.

Garvan Walshe: Macron’s victory means that May’s Brexit strategy must change fast

By seeing off Le Pen and electing the most ideologically pro-EU president since Giscard d’Estaing, France has changed the game.

Daniel Hannan: Corbyn is the ultimate selfish gene, content to kill off Labour for his own benefit

It’s sad in a way, but the quicker Labour is eclipsed and a new leftist party emerges, the better for everyone.
