Marshall Tisdale: Scotland’s drug statistics are a call to arms for radical reform

We need to stop treating addicts like criminals and forcing people who want to experiment to forge contacts with black-market dealers.

Is Patel’s pledge to “end freedom of movement” merely smoke and mirrors?

Javid said it would be impossible to reconcile with the Government’s commitments to EU nationals currently in the UK, and it still looks as if he’s right.

So we’ve had NHS, policing and immigration plans from Johnson. Stand ready for a schools spending pledge.

He committed during the leadership election contest to raise it to £5000 per pupil – and level up outside London.

“To literally feel terror”

Patel’s aim and Johnson’s announcements will be difficult to deliver, but he is intent on proving that his Government is “on your side”.

Javid pips Johnson and Rees-Mogg to the top of the podium in our first Cabinet League Table of the new Government

Meanwhile Ruth Davidson, so often one of the highest-scoring politicians, is at the bottom of the chart after her row with Johnson and strong line against No Deal.

It sends a clear, positive signal to young people from migrant backgrounds, among whom our Party lags behind.

Plus: should Patel have come? Should Mordaunt have gone? And: my predictions. What I got right and wrong.

Johnson’s reshuffle. Live Blog. Seven of his leadership rivals get jobs. Rees-Mogg in as Leader of the House.

We can now see the new Government taking shape, after a dramatic bout of sackings and new appointments at the top.

WATCH: Patel holds the line on Johnson’s commitment to leave the EU on October 31

“Boris Johnson is absolutely unequivocal…this is not a case of extension any more. Delay is defeat – it’s as simple as that.”

From Reggie to Rory Sahib: Greetings on your Grand Tour. Here, Boris and J.Hunt esquire are showering punters with taxpayers’ cash

There are all these ghastly photos of them hugging passers by and avoiding difficult questions.

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?
