Williamson. He’s gone away – but he won’t shut up.

What’s that you say?  That what really matters is the Huawei decision itself?  Quite so.  And on that, we have an uncomfortable feeling that he’s right. 

How far should Sedwill go over the Huawei leak?

He is perfectly entitled to crack down on leaks. But it’s worth bearing in mind that this one was scarcely unprecedented.

Our view of May’s deal

Hers or Letwins? That’s what the choice is narrowing down to. From the point of view of trust in politics, how MPs vote will now make little difference – if any.

Nick Hargrave: A memo to the next Tory leader. How you govern will be no less important than why.

The cohort of future Conservative leadership candidates would do well to start thinking about the structure of the Number 10 they want to build.

Fabio Conti: A plea for Conservative unity in these fractious times – and how we must plan for the challenges of the future

It is rarely Brexit that people raise on the doorstep. It is concerns about the NHS; their local school; the difficulties faced by social care, or the rise in violent crime.

Neil Shastri-Hurst: The fog of war – blurring the lines in the separation of powers

A new report by the Society of Conservative Lawyers argues that prior Parliamentary approval for military action is a dangerous game and has no constitutional law basis.

The ‘Meaningful Vote’ is yet another backfiring constitutional innovation

If the United Kingdom’s negotiating position appears incoherent, much of the blame rests with those who put the legislature in charge.

Jonathan Clark: Representative democracy is waning, direct democracy is waxing. So its MPs themselves who will “come to heel”

Lee Rowley: Brexit is big. But our politics is bigger – and I say that as a committed Leaver. Here are some ideas to boost it.

Remainers and Brexiteers alike must recognise the politicians are stuck in an ever-decreasing circle of fervour, hyperbole and hysteria.

Howard Flight: Finding taxpayers better value for money

What is needed is professional, third party review and analysis of expenditure, department by department, cutting out duplication and waste.

Raab, Cox, Gove, Fox, Mordaunt – all these Cabinet members, and others, should resign tomorrow if necessary.

They mustn’t let Downing Street bounce them into agreeing a 500-plus page deal that they won’t have had time to study properly.

Joel Charles: After May’s conference speech and Hammond’s Budget, opportunity must be our core objective

We have a habit of looking back at policy platforms pursued by previous Conservative Governments, and attempting to bring back popular policies like a poor Hollywood remake.

The enduring importance of the Attorney-General

Cox’s intervention at May’s meeting of senior Cabinet ministers last week to discuss Brexit plans turned out to be crucial.

Bob Seely: Yes, Brexit and leadership are important. But so’s everything else. Here are some ideas for the future.

Scrap HS2. Integrate social care. Abolish NI. Reverse police cuts. Consider a new Bill of Rights. And much, much more.
