Iain Dale: What was hung around May’s neck in this week’s 1922 meeting was… a garland

Plus: Chinese whispers, Whitehall moves – and a Budget that is set to target business rather than taxpayers.

Iain Dale: May understands the importance of trade with Africa, even if the usual suspects sneer at the idea

Plus: Why Leave.eu supporters are more in step with Conservative policy than Soubry; and: shaking things up on the airwaves.

Iain Dale: Madeley thinks he got the better of Williamson. I beg to differ.

Plus: A crazy clergyman, a bonkers Imam, and unreason on obesity. Richard Holden’s innocence. And: I am ready for Desert Island Dicks.

Iain Dale: The good plain old-fashioned party poster – driven out of politics by thuggery and fear

Plus: Local elections – Jacqui Smith and I step in where the BBC won’t go. And: my advice to Rudd? KBO – as Churchill used to put it.

Iain Dale: Don’t knock Mancock, er, Hancock

The Conservatives ought to learn from him. Plus: Vote, vote, vote for Widdecombe. Fire and Fury is damp and limp. My teeth, oh, my teeth. And: My quest to enter Phillip Lee’s brain.

Iain Dale: This reshuffle could have promoted and prioritised housing. But all we got was a name change.

Plus: The mystery of the missing Kwasi Kwarteng. The presence of the ebullient Brandon Lewis. The absence and recovery of Nick de Bois. Plus: Capita’s failures.

It’s been another good week for Rees-Mogg

His debut as a phone-in host offered an indication that – despite being posh and old-fashioned – he has an exceptional ability to communicate in modern Britain.

Iain Dale: Wotcha, Peston. WTF are you on?

My TV omnipresence. After The News. Two wheezes from the Chancellor. Will he be fired in a reshuffle? Oh, and p.s: it could take place on Monday.

Iain Dale: My listeners praised May for having the guts to do our phone-in. They were right.

All credit to her. She’s the first prime minister since Tony Blair to do one phone-in outside an election period. They always carry a slight risk for a politician.

Iain Dale: Rennard, Lord of the Lib Dem campaign machine

Plus: Nigel Farage steps into my shoes; life after gangs; and the absurd Remainer response to the Government’s Brexit papers.

Iain Dale: Dear Cabinet Ministers – if you must fight one another, do it in private

Plus: I’m beating James O’Brien; Labour’s telling silence on Venezuela; and saying farewell to a friend.

Iain Dale: The biggest gossip in politics is interviewed by the biggest gossip in politics and names the biggest gossip in politics

Plus: The decline of books. Morgan sees off the cult of Mogg. Why I won’t fly RyanAir. And: As I reach a significant birthday, I mull writing my autobiography…

Iain Dale: How I did not become May’s new Director of Communications

Guido Fawkes, Tom Newton-Dunn and the Evening Standard diary banded together to suggest that I was about to do a far, far better thing than I have ever done…

Iain Dale: No, Corbyn hasn’t pulled off a triumph. A defeat is a defeat is a defeat.

Plus: An apology on behalf of the pundits, the press, the pollsters, the politicians and the parties for calling this election utterly, totally and completely wrong.

Iain Dale: Rudd to the Treasury, a Gove comeback, McLoughlin to quit. What may happen in the reshuffle.

Oh, and Timothy and Hill should be moved on from being co-Chiefs of Staff – the former to head up policy, the latter press.
