Nick Hillman: Voters in Buckingham deserve a real say and a real MP

I like John Bercow – indeed, I’ll vote for him. But the Speaker of the House shouldn’t represent a constituency – doing so disenfranchises thousands of people.

By Nick Hillman | 4 June 2017 | 19 comments

Iain Dale: Why aren’t the Liberal Democrats doing better in these election polls?

Plus: An idea for May. A quote from YouGov. A cancelled lunch. A headline from the Economist. Could Gove return? And: could Bercow be ousted?

WATCH: Lidington – Lords should not amend the Article 50 bill

“I hope… they will accept that, as an unelected chamber, they should agree that the will of the British electorate as a whole, and the view of the House of Commons overwhelmingly, should go.”

12 February 2017 | 34 comments

Matthew Barrett: Don’t be so eager to scrap the Lords, Conservative MPs. We may need it one day to check Labour tyranny.

Bercow’s Trump outburst was uncharacteristic of him

We explain why.

By Paul Goodman | 7 February 2017 | 190 comments

Trump’s state visit. If Xi Jinping can make one, then so should he.

But neither the American President’s concession to Britain nor the question of double standards are likely to deter some Parliamentarians.

By Paul Goodman | 30 January 2017 | 61 comments

Rebecca Coulson: Breastfeeding in the Commons? Fine. But gender quotas for committee witnesses would be absurd.

The Speaker’s recent report on improving equality in Parliament makes some proposals which are irrelevant at best.

By Rebecca Lowe | 27 July 2016 | 44 comments

By Andrew Gimson | 30 December 2015 | 24 comments

By Reggie | 16 December 2015 | 3 comments

Iain Dale: Europe. Cameron is ready to wave a piece of white paper declaring “An agreement for our time”

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.

By Iain Dale | 13 November 2015 | 106 comments

From Reggie to Dessie: Calling all Tory MPs. If in doubt of your sexuality, please consult Dr Sarah Wollaston or Dr Phillip Lee

Plus: Soames makes his way towards a gender-neutral loo. Lunch with Tyrie, lunch with Kirby. The Shipley Strangler strikes again. And: George Simpson saves the day.
