David Simmonds: I’m a supporter of railways, but HS2 is a misguided scheme

The current expensive disruptive route, and the neglect of decrepit local transport, are unacceptable.

By David Simmonds | 13 November 2019 | 31 comments

Gareth Bacon: What London needs from our new Prime Minister

Povide fair police funding, back Crossrail 2 but reject a third runway at Heathrow. Also guarantee the rights of the one million EU nationals living in the capital.

By Gareth Bacon | 1 August 2019 | 26 comments

Interview. Johnson says that every member of his Cabinet must sign up to Britain leaving the EU on 31st October – deal or no deal

The front runner on extension, Scotland, that Islamophobia inquiry, wrestling naked with Hunt – and taking a Trollope to bed in Downing Street.

By Andrew Gimson and Paul Goodman | 27 June 2019 | 146 comments

John Penrose: Why railways should be more like airlines – and how passengers would gain if they were

The Rail Delivery Group has just suggested a more modern system of tickets and fares. But such change should be only the start.

By John Penrose MP | 11 May 2019 | 60 comments

Jake Berry: What I found on my Northern Powerhouse tour. Resilience, skill, innovation and success. Plus an appetite for Brexit.

But more money and powers need to be given directly to the North to drive further progress.

By Jake Berry MP | 25 August 2018 | 63 comments

Judy Terry: We need more housing. So why are billions being spent blighting and destroying homes?

HS2 and the third runway at Heathrow would increase pressure on the housing supply. It is better to provide new regional airports on derelict sites.

By Judy Terry | 23 July 2018 | 16 comments

Johnson’s reset moment. He should tour Brexit Britain to defend the referendum result.

Say what you like about him (and many do), the recently-resigned Foreign Secretary is one of the very few Tories with voter cut-through.

By Paul Goodman | 16 July 2018 | 195 comments

Daniel Hannan: Higher taxes, spending bungs, pay caps, gender quotas. Is this really the brave new Brexit Britain we want?

What changed? When did we lose the global vocation that infused the Cabinet, Leavers and Remainers alike, two years ago?

By Daniel Hannan MEP | 27 June 2018 | 179 comments

Heathrow and CETA votes suggest Labour’s divisions are deepening, and discipline is breaking down

The Opposition Chief Whip is reported to have “physically intimidated” MPs, but was “ignored” nonetheless.

By Mark Wallace | 26 June 2018 | 37 comments

The eight Conservative MPs who voted against Heathrow expansion

Six were from west or north London constituencies, plus Windsor’s Adam Afriyie and Sir David Amess of Southend West.

By Paul Goodman | 26 June 2018 | 100 comments

WATCH: Hands – “A hub airport suits Heathrow. And it suits the BA business model. But these are not the same as the national interest.”

The former Trade Minister who resigned over expansion argues that the size of London requires more than one hub.

25 June 2018 | 19 comments

Chris Grayling: After so long a wait, let’s get on with it – and vote emphatically today for expansion at Heathrow

Today, Parliament can play a huge part in helping us achieve that post-Brexit vision, securing the long-term connections the country needs.

By Chris Grayling MP | 25 June 2018 | 82 comments

Justine Greening and Zac Goldsmith: Wrong scheme, wrong place – Heathrow’s third runway should never take off

Support for expansion is the prevailing wisdom, but it’s demonstrably wrong – even using the Department for Transport’s own figures.

By Justine Greening MP | 24 June 2018 | 77 comments

Hands resigns from the Government over Heathrow – could he be teeing up a mayoral bid?

The former Trade Minister has not just put Boris Johnson in a tight spot, but might have just made a high-profile entry into the race for his old job.

By Henry Hill | 21 June 2018 | 28 comments

Iain Dale: It’s a year today since the election reverse which has left May adrift.

Plus: The Government gets airports wrong and Burnham gets rail wrong. And: a miserable PMQs for Tory MPs.

By Iain Dale | 8 June 2018 | 357 comments
