By Henry Hill | 2 February 2019 | 137 comments

The Prime Minister could prorogue Parliament, but almost certainly won’t

Between the idea and the reality, between the motion and the act, falls the shadow.

By Henry Hill | 26 January 2019 | 240 comments

Robert Halfon: My constituents are against us shelling out £39 billion for nothing. Anyway, are we really obliged to pay?

By Robert Halfon MP | 5 December 2018 | 44 comments

Jonathan Clark: Is it time to sweep away our political parties – and clear the decks for Leave v Remain?

Ed Hall: Yes, a No Deal Armageddon will deliver chaos – to French farmers, German car makers, Italian designers and Spanish property owners

Extreme Remainers have inadvertently invented the Chaos Bonkers Brexit Gambit.

By Ed Hall | 26 July 2018 | 314 comments

Brexit. What May should do next. Replace Robbins with Davis – and prepare for No Deal.

Since she might not get an acceptable agreement, or indeed any at all, the Government must strain to get Ready for Day One, not Ready for Day 730.
