By Karen Bradley MP | 22 January 2021 | 23 comments

Our survey. Gove is Minister of the Year.

He is one of the few elements of continuity in what has been a turbulent year at the Government’s top table.

Commons sketch. MPs wanted Cummings to come to the Commons. Today, he did – through the medium of Johnson.

One could sense Labour MPs, and some Tory ones too, grasping that “everything is changing”.

Johnson’s shuffle. If one asks for decisiveness – for an end to drift – don’t complain when it’s delivered.

We have the Government that we should have had then, ready to counter the charge that Vote Leave scurried away from Brexit, rather than manning up to deliver it.

Johnson’s bandwagon rolls on, Davidson declares for the Home Secretary – and Gove deploys weapons of mass distraction

Also: don’t cut members out of the contest. And the right exam question for candidates is: who can best win a general election?

Mordaunt leads the pack in our latest Cabinet League Table

Truss and Davidson take the other podium spots, challenging the assumptions held in some quarters about the Tory grassroots.

By Henry Hill | 4 June 2019 | 105 comments

Henry Hill: Caught between her activists and the voters, Sturgeon plays for time on independence

Also: Will Lyra McKee’s murder in Londonderry be enough to re-start the political process in Northern Ireland? It doesn’t seem likely.

By Henry Hill | 25 April 2019 | 30 comments

Has May just delivered the coup de grâce to any imminent hope of reviving Stormont?

If she insists on a functioning Assembly before a no-deal Brexit, why on earth would Sinn Fein oblige her?

By Henry Hill | 5 April 2019 | 143 comments

Paul Bew: Merkel has let alternatives to the backstop out of a bottle. So there’s no putting them back in.

It really is something when a significant part of the EU leadership joins the list of agnostics. No wonder there is nervousness in Dublin.
