Steve Baker: The EU referendum. We need to discuss and debate the issues – including, of course, with local Associations
Everyone should concentrate on how our great country is to be governed: there is no place in our Party for brutal tactics.

Here’s a case for and a case against.
It is now clear that the renegotiation process has proved that the Union is incapable of reform.
The Autumn Statement and Spending Review were far too interventionist.
In the wake of the Paris bombings, the second of our profiles on European countries and institutions – and their role in Cameron’s EU renegotiation.
Perhaps it will not be beyond Elliott’s diplomatic skills to negotiate an amicable merger – with himself in charge.
Vote Leave and leave.eu need to join together to fight the pro-EU campaign – and not each other.
To do so would be a breach of the Party’s agreed neutrality, an abuse of his access to Tory donors, and a grave disservice to ordinary members.
A boost for Len Pen. A blow to Merkel. More Europe-wide security measures. No Commons vote on bombing Syria. And, more distantly, the end of free movement?
Plus: Osborne squeezes the rich till their pips squeak. Prime Minister Corbyn, and other fantasises. Stephen McPartland has balls of steel. And: No breast jokes here.
The Prime Minister and the Chancellor will undoubtedly now be brooding about means of getting the Home Secretary out of the Home Office.
Replacing Cameron with the chief architect of a failed renegotiation would not be tenable with the British public.
Like Russia, the Chancellor is never as strong or as weak as he looks. But the conditions that helped his deficit reduction drive in 2010 no longer apply.
Many eyes are on the Mayor of London, but more should be on the Home Secretary – as the only holder of a great office of state who may yet back Leave.
I campaigned and voted for being a member of the Common Market. But it has since become clear that the EU project is about politics more than economics.
