Henry Newman: The Alternative Arrangements Commission offers the best route through the backstop problem

There are real, viable answers to this sticky problem. But rebuilding trust may be as hard as resolving technical questions.

Andrew Green: Debating immigration has been marginal to this leadership election. That should change.

It is the moment to decide whether to go for a leader who is prepared to tackle immigration, or for one who has failed to heed the public’s calls to reduce it.

Dean Godson: There are plenty of ideas on the centre-right. Here’s how it can create a new, decent, patriotric consensus.
