David Gauke: Johnson’s Covid policy – and why it’s opening up a rift between him and his traditional Tory supporters

If he is to take the necessary steps to get a Brexit deal (and I hope he does), he is going to have to defy those instincts on a second issue, too.

By David Gauke | 26 September 2020 | 60 comments

What could give the Government a sense of purpose – and chances to achieve? Making Gove Deputy Prime Minister.

Johnson needs a Simon Milton figure in government. The move would be controversial, to put it mildly. But who else is there?

Ryan Bourne: Don’t fret about this debt – at least not yet. Big tax rises would choke economic recovery.

If it proves a temporary blowout rather than permanent, accumulated debt levels being modestly higher looks manageable.

By Ryan Bourne | 29 April 2020 | 29 comments

Scruton – and the gulf between Conservatives in Parliament and conservatives outside it

The row over his sacking is a sign of a Party pulled in different directions by the way politics works – and by culture wars. Now a new competitor is knocking at the door.

Iain Dale: It’s time for Cabinet members of both sexes to show some balls

Plus: People vote for me to shave off my beard. But the decision was only advisory. And did they have enough information…?

By Iain Dale | 18 January 2019 | 49 comments

Almost good enough isn’t good enough

Strangely but truly, the best way of helping the Prime Minister is to send her back to Brussels to win concessions on the backstop.

By Paul Goodman | 15 January 2019 | 146 comments

Keep your eyes fixed on the Withdrawal Agreement, which would be backed by law. Not on this Political Declaration. Which wouldn’t.

A staple of stagecraft magic is misdirection. While his audience is gawping at one thing, the magician is swiftly doing another. So it may be now.

By Paul Goodman | 23 November 2018 | 204 comments

Profile: Noble, puissant, invincible? Geoffrey Cox, the Devonian lawyer who holds May’s fate in his hands.

As Attorney General, he is telling his Cabinet colleagues what any proposals for a deal really mean – even if that’s inconvenient for Downing Street.

By Andrew Gimson | 1 November 2018 | 48 comments

Iain Dale’s Top 100 Most Influential People on the Conservative Right

In all, there are 30 new entries in the whole list, one down on last year and two down on the 2016 record of 33.

By Iain Dale | 1 October 2018 | 23 comments

Henry Newman: There’s still time for the UK to shape the Brexit negotiations – if the Government gets its act together

That means making overdue decisions, settling internal disputes, and no more campaigning by the Treasury to undermine Brexit policy.

By Henry Newman | 26 June 2018 | 153 comments

Profile: Matt Hancock, the Osborne acolyte who managed to survive and prosper

This ambitious 39-year-old is grappling valiantly with the Leveson problem, and no one does a better digital transformation.

By Andrew Gimson | 10 May 2018 | 11 comments

Henry Newman: Enough! May must make up her mind on Brexit – or risk the collapse of her negotiating position.

It’s often suggested that the Remain wing of the Cabinet wouldn’t wear such a choice. I doubt it.

By Henry Newman | 3 February 2018 | 150 comments

Why the Government is resisting calls to devolve Brexit powers at once

Most of the powers involved in ordering the Single Market are technical and trivial-seeming, but supporters of Section 11 of the Withdrawal Bill see danger ahead.

By Henry Hill | 11 November 2017 | 99 comments

James Frayne: The Government must immediately ditch the idea of allowing prisoners to vote

The Conservatives’ best chance of a majority is by winning over working class voters – who overwhelmingly and strongly oppose this daft policy.

By James Frayne | 31 October 2017 | 63 comments
