Ashley Fox MEP: Meanwhile, back in Brussels, Conservative MEPs are battling for Britain

What we’ve done on an EU Public Prosecutor, immigration, Mediterranean refugees, car safety, plastic bags – and exposing Labour’s hypocrisy.

UKIP’s limp campaign is a victim of mismanaged expectations

The inflated hopes engendered by their 2014 annus mirabilis look set to sour a perfectly respectable result for the People’s Army.

Graeme Archer: Ship of fools

I have a recurring nightmare, which I now find has made its way into the real world – the Mediterranean, to be precise.

Jeremy Lefroy: Flawed and failed – not to mention immoral. The EU policy of deterring migrants by drowning them.

Search and rescue operations must be resumed to help prevent further horrors like those we’ve seen this week.

Election sketch: Northamptonshire Conservatives (including Mrs Bone) hope to persuade voters that UKIP is redundant

Peter Bone in Wellingborough, and Tom Pursglove in Corby, are campaigning on a staunchly Eurosceptic platform. Mrs Bone approves, but rather wishes it was all over.

Iain Dale: The Tory election campaign. Where oh where is Boris?

Plus: Tories – too vague. UKIP – too specific. LibDems: what are they for? Why the polls could all be wrong. And: I win an award, and am baffled.

Election sketch: Bolton West wants to talk about immigration

In this acutely marginal seat, Labour looks even more vulnerable than the Conservatives to attack by UKIP.

Lord Green: Why Bright Blue’s proposals to ease up on immigration control are wrong

They are divorced from reality, almost contemptuous of public opinion and, sadly, irresponsible.

Graeme Archer: Choice is yours

UKIP’s false dichotomies demand we become brutal to prove our loyalty to Britain. Doing so is indecent.

James Dobson: Claims that immigration undermines social cohesion are unfounded

My new Adam Smith Institute paper suggests that restricting immigration will harm the economy, and exacerbate the causes of falling social cohesion.

Graeme Archer: Those Labour mugs in full

An exciting new political pottery range reveals far too much about the vendors. Available while stocks last.

Lord Green: How the Guardian got it wrong on immigration

It’s front page story exactly a week ago misrepresented an Office of Budget Responsibility report. (P.S: The OBR isn’t doing too well itself either.)

Nadhim Zahawi MP: In Farage’s Britain, it would be legal to discriminate against me on the grounds of race

Welfare, skills and immigration policy require deep thought and serious long-term reform rather than angry slogans.

Iain Dale: A foreign nurse tells me that Brits don’t want his NHS job. He has a point.

Plus: Two policemen’s child abuse claims. Lamb for LibDem leader. Osborne for the Foreign Office. And: why won’t Waterstones stock more copies of Farage’s book?

Daniel Hannan MEP: Scowl, and you’ll help to lose the EU referendum. Smile, and you’ll help to win it.

Reflecting people’s gripes back at them will take you only so far. To get further, you must also offer something better.
