Matt Hancock: Why the latest figures on national happiness are so important

As a measure of an administration, GDP has its limits. But clear evidence that we’re building a happier nation suggests the Government is on the right track.

Andrew R T Davies: Brexit. Stop leaking. Ignore the scare stories – and get a move on.

The clock is ticking on the Brexit negotiations and spreading confusion in this manner will only undermine the Prime Minister’s negotiating hand.

Patrick Minford: More compliance. Lower productivity. Reduced growth. Why we must free ourselves from EU regulation.

If we do, we could reverse at least some of the six per cent hit to GDP it has caused so far. If we don’t, we could continue to lose productivity growth of 0.2 per cent a year.

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

Are we being manipulated so that we accept, in due course, a smaller (but still very large) Brexit bill as a “good deal”?

Alex Morton: Beware Triumphalism

Only a constitutional referendum lock, safeguarded by the Queen, can protect us from the left-wing coalition that could take power in 2020.

Philip Baldwin: How to sustain the City of London when we leave the EU

A major risk and a priority in the negotiations must be maintaining the EU’s system of financial passporting for British institutions.

David Green: Who needs the Single Market? Britain doesn’t. We’d be better off under WTO rules.

It is not so much a location where goods and services can be sold, but rather a system of political control.
