Iain Dale: Why I believe that the October deadline leaves no time for a second referendum

Plus: I’m still backing Brexit. The Independent Group’s Tory targets. And: it’s a disgrace that public money is being spent on the European elections.

Iain Dale: On Newsnight, I erect my Tower of Power

And: For May, there should be no way back from losing. My Tory leadership straw poll. Cox, a man of substance and integrity. Plus, Tower of Power extra: Dick for Iain.

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: 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.

No, this is not “the most controlled election campaign ever”. But it is, perhaps, the most dull.

None the less, campaigns are not devised for the entertainment of journalists and websites. They are crafted to win votes. Which this one seems to be doing.

Iain Dale: John Howard, Australia’s great centre-right election winner, backs Leave

Plus: John Rees-Evans’s bizarrre views. May’s flourishing line in jokes. Trump’s chances of winning. And: let Article 50 be put to a vote in Parliament and let’s get on with it.

Iain Dale: The unintended consequences of May’s unwillingness to court the media

Plus: Farewell, Tom Swarbrick. Labour’s woes. I doze. And: A truly disgusting story about a Liberal Democrat Coalition Minister.

Iain Dale: Prat. Gaffe. Scoop. And Treacherous Bastard. My End of Year Awards.

Plus: Thank you for the three bottles of vintage wine…but you forgot to enclose a note with your name. Christmas, eh?

Iain Dale: My hunch is that the Tory message on the SNP is getting through to voters

Plus: The CCHQ charm school. Disgraceful Livingstone. Untruthful Clegg. Nasty Russell Brand. Where I’ll be on election night. And: Advice to candidates for the count.

Iain Dale: The Tory election campaign. Where oh where is Boris?

Plus: Tories – too vague. UKIP – too specific. LibDems: what are they for? Why the polls could all be wrong. And: I win an award, and am baffled.
