Ryan Henson: How to improve opportunities for white working-class boys – and get more on the Tory benches too

Research shows that investment in the early years of a child’s life is the most effective way to improve his or her long-term life chances.

By Cllr Ryan Henson | 19 March 2018 | 55 comments

Peter Marshall: We must all now focus on finding a way to build a positive future relationship

We need to rekindle l’esprit communautaire, on both sides of the channel. In Walpole’s famous phrase, “this dance can no longer go”.

By Sir Peter Marshall | 11 March 2018 | 45 comments

Iain Dale: Is Barnier now conspiring with Corbyn to bring down May?

Plus: Major’s error. The Prime Minister’s jokes. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. And: the angels want to wear my red suit.

By Iain Dale | 2 March 2018 | 243 comments

Garvan Walshe: To get real Brexit for Great Britain, the DUP should consent to Ulster staying in the Single Market and Customs Union

If there’s to be no border in Ireland, and Britain is to leave the Customs Union and Single Market, it follows that there must be a customs border on the Irish Sea.

By Garvan Walshe | 22 February 2018 | 95 comments

Lee Rotherham: “The EU is a rules-based organisation.” Oh, really? Consider these ten examples to the contrary. And there’s more.

Let’s remind ourselves of a few occasions where the letter of the law has been lacking the odd dot or crossed T.

By Dr Lee Rotherham | 12 February 2018 | 77 comments

WATCH: Soubry says – sling out 35 “hard, ideological” Brexiteers “who are not Tories”.

“They’ve taken down Major. They took down Cameron. Two great leaders – neither of whom stood up to them.”

6 February 2018 | 351 comments

Thomas Hogg: Let’s get a sense of perspective. May must stay – and here’s why.

I finish by imploring you to consider the effect on our Brexit negotiations if we change negotiators half way through.

By Thomas Hogg | 5 February 2018 | 140 comments

Why May should make it clear that she will not lead the Conservatives into the next election

Which is what she hinted at after the last one – and which would ease the pressures on her and help get the government back on its feet.

By Paul Goodman | 26 January 2018 | 195 comments

Benedict Rogers: Britain must honour Major’s promise that ‘Hong Kong will never have to walk alone’

China is disregarding its pledge of ‘one country, two systems’ – as a result the rule of law in the territory is under threat from growing autocracy.

By Benedict Rogers | 23 January 2018 | 131 comments

Peter Franklin: Ruling political tribes 2) The Conservatives. Gove is now in a position to emerge as kingmaker – or, just maybe, as King.

But unless his fully-developed vision of the future can capture heart-and-minds, I’d expect control of the party to stay with the mainstream.

By Peter Franklin | 12 January 2018 | 33 comments

The ghost of Social Chapter policies past haunts the forthcoming Brexit row about labour regulations

Those who are pro-Brexit and those who oppose it have to negotiate the pitfalls of their own previous positions on red tape.

By Mark Wallace | 18 December 2017 | 49 comments

If Gove could talk to the animals, talk to the animals. Why the Conservatives are campaigning on the environment.

With a woof-woof here and a moo-moo there, there is a new Tory focus on our feathered, scaled, winged and four-legged friends.

By Paul Goodman | 18 December 2017 | 67 comments

Iain Dale: Playing truth or dare with Jacqui Smith

Plus: May’s EU trials, Labour’s EU shifts – and how Russia got there before Trump by recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Well, part of it.

By Iain Dale | 8 December 2017 | 26 comments

Iain Dale: My by-election bond with Fallon, who’s as human as the rest of us

Plus: What it was like being gay and a Tory – and being sexually assaulted in the “Brief Encounter” – during the vanished world of the 1990s.

By Iain Dale | 3 November 2017 | 45 comments

Pro-Remain Cabinet Minister “wants Gove as Chancellor”

Though if May moves Philip Hammond, or seeks to, she is also likely to move Boris Johnson, or try to.
