By Stewart Jackson | 17 January 2019 | 251 comments

Joe Egerton: Why we need a transition period of up to seven years

The Chancellor suggested that thoughtful politicians incline to one. But the more thoughtful one is about it, the more problematic it looks.

By Paul Goodman | 13 December 2016

Iain Dale: He was five foot four, and I’m six foot two, but I’m wanted none the less to play Mussolini

By Iain Dale | 2 December 2016 | 7 comments

Iain Dale: The UKIP leadership election. Is there a secret Nuttall-Evans pact?

Plus: Osborne – terrible at predictions but brilliant at quizzes. The Brexiteers sweep the Select Committee board. And: all the very best to Nick Boles.

By Iain Dale | 28 October 2016 | 43 comments

Iain Dale: This week’s media assault on Leadsom is astonishing – and she has done well to survive it

Interview: “The power of such laws is that they change attitudes.” Hague on the 20th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act.
