Mark Brolin: Ignore Johnson’s moralistic detractors. Many voters may end up thinking that we’re lucky to have him.

By Mark Brolin | 9 February 2022

Ryan Bourne: It’ll take decades, not years, to determine whether Brexit was a success

Leavers and Remainers have been premature to judge this major constitutional change.

By Ryan Bourne | 1 December 2021

David Gauke: Johnson’s health and social care plan. A betrayal of Conservative principles? No – because, at one level, there aren’t any.

This can give the Tories a tremendous advantage in a democracy because the public, as a whole, does not have fixed views either.

By David Gauke | 13 September 2021

His critics generally ignore the nation as it is, and keep their eyes fixed on the nation as it ought to be.

By Andrew Gimson | 10 September 2021

Ryan Bourne: What is the Government using the shutdown for?

Absent a clearly articulated strategy business uncertainty will heighten, and severe non-compliance is risked

By Ryan Bourne | 15 April 2020 | 72 comments

Daniel Hannan: The abuse, outrage and viciousness is hurled overwhelmingly at those of us who back ending the lockdown

A common threat, especially in the form of a pathogen, flicks switches in our brains, making us less tolerant of dissent.

By Daniel Hannan | 15 April 2020 | 154 comments

Iain Dale: Swinson’s revoke policy disincentivises more Conservative defections

Plus: Why won’t Corbyn come on LBC and give an interview? He hasn’t done once since becoming Labour leader.

By Iain Dale | 20 September 2019 | 128 comments

Daniel Hannan: That Brexit film works as drama. But it doesn’t as history. I should know. I was there.

The real flaw in Graham’s film was the implication that Vote Leave won by turning the European question into something else.

By Daniel Hannan MEP | 9 January 2019 | 31 comments

Interview: James Kirkup on trans. And how campaigners have exploited MPs’ fear of being accused of transphobia.

And he asks: why did the Women and Equalities Select Committee choose an adviser open to the charge of being parti pris?

By Andrew Gimson | 24 October 2018 | 76 comments

Iain Dale’s Top 100 Most Influential People on the Conservative Right

In all, there are 30 new entries in the whole list, one down on last year and two down on the 2016 record of 33.

By Iain Dale | 1 October 2018 | 23 comments

Rebecca Lowe: What Alfie Evans, an IVF-conceived child and the abortion pill all have in common

These concerns, however, often only add to the need for us to remain ethically and democratically engaged, particularly regarding the most emotive cases.

By Rebecca Lowe | 30 April 2018 | 46 comments

Rebecca Lowe: Gender pay, childcare, flexibility, robots – and the future of work

To my mind, once some kind of base fairness has been established, then it’s best to leave cultural transformations down to demand.

By Rebecca Lowe | 16 April 2018 | 43 comments

Pro-Remain Cabinet Minister “wants Gove as Chancellor”

Though if May moves Philip Hammond, or seeks to, she is also likely to move Boris Johnson, or try to.

By Paul Goodman | 15 October 2017 | 84 comments

Loudspeaker politicised reactions to tragedies must not be allowed to drown out democracy

Justified calls for a national government’s overthrow are usually confined to those in which there is a serious threat of tyranny or the breakdown of civil order.

By Rebecca Lowe | 18 June 2017 | 92 comments

Douglas Carswell: An electoral drift to the Left? Not really. The Left isn’t thriving. It’s dying.

From Spain to Italy to America, parties of organised labour are in trouble. The blue collar base didn’t come out for them – and may not come out for Corbyn either.

By Douglas Carswell | 19 May 2017 | 24 comments
