Roderick Crawford: The EU must drop its maximalist approach to the Northern Ireland Protocol

From the start, the trade bloc has not fully understood the Belfast Agreement and has been slow to see that it undermined many of its positions.

By Roderick Crawford | 29 June 2020 | 37 comments

Six months on from last year’s general election, it’s only the LibDems who bang on about Europe

The CBI supports the Government’s timetable and Starmer is keeping his head down. It is quite the turnaround.

Shanker Singham: As Johnson prepares to talk to Von der Leyen, here’s how to end the row over the Northern Ireland protocol

Like it or not, the EU agreed to two customs territories on the island of Ireland – and a solution to the disagreement flows from that fact.

By Shanker A.Singham | 14 June 2020 | 43 comments

Colin Clark: If the Scottish Tories stay in the middle of the road, they’ll get run over

In 2016, 38 per cent of voters in Scotland backed Brexit. So why is the Party currently stuck at 23 per cent in the polls for next year’s Holyrood election?

By Colin Clark | 7 June 2020 | 47 comments

Graham Gudgin: Has Johnson kept his promises on Northern Ireland?

The Prime Minister has avoided some of the potential dangers, but nonetheless introduced a border inside the United Kingdom.

By Dr Graham Gudgin | 29 May 2020 | 68 comments

The UK quarantine for international arrivals: what the rules are – and the reasons for their imposition now

Whereas other countries, such as Israel and Australia, implemented travel bans mid-March, the country is only following now.

Owen Paterson: Cameron’s Coalition was formed ten years ago today. It left us a message of hope that we should honour.

As a member of his first Cabinet, I was tested in Northern Ireland – as elsewhere the new government reduced the defict and reformed public services.

By Owen Paterson MP | 11 May 2020 | 18 comments

Jonathan Caine: No, the Coronavirus pandemic does not support the case for a united Ireland

The available evidence “leads to a conclusion that the death rate in Northern Ireland is almost identical to that in the Republic”.

By Lord Caine | 7 May 2020 | 23 comments

Lagarde, von der Leyen and Merkel have all failed to take charge of Europe’s response to the virus

Nation states can act decisively when they wish to do so: the EU seems paralysed.

By Andrew Gimson | 13 March 2020 | 191 comments

Jonathan Caine: It’s time for Sinn Fein to act decisively and leave the IRA behind

It’s deeply disturbing for many that a modern European democracy might shortly be led by a party that continues to have its strategy overseen by an Army Council.

By Lord Caine | 6 March 2020 | 30 comments

No Deal 1) There is a green fly in the red, white and blue ointment. Or the other way round, if you prefer.

The lack of an agreed border with Ireland makes “an Australian-style settlement” more unlikely than would otherwise be the case.

As the coronavirus spreads, Hancock is endangered by twin perils – complacency and panic

At the least, we can expect reduced growth worldwide – and a more expansionary Budget next month.

By Paul Goodman | 28 February 2020 | 153 comments

Stephen Booth: Checks in the Irish Sea. What they are, why the UK and EU disgree about them – and how they could wreck the talks

For the Protocol to work over the long-term, broad-based political consent for it must be gained then retained.

By Stephen Booth | 18 February 2020 | 41 comments

David Gauke: Javid, Smith, Cox. Three fine Ministers fired – so that Number Ten could take back even more control.

But is a system of government whereby all power is concentrated in Downing Street likely to result in that power being well used?

By David Gauke | 15 February 2020 | 155 comments

Reshuffle 1) The lesson of this PJ Masks shakeup. For Johnson and Cummings, it is truly Do or Die.

We cheer the mission. But government needs more compromise, art, tact and accomodation than campaigning alone allows.
