David Gauke: The UK, the EU, vaccines – and future relations. Here, jingoistic politicians. There, Trumpian ones. Bodes badly.

The EU’s triggering of Article 16 is premature, provocative and sets a precedent that will be cited by those unwilling to accept the consequences of the Protocol.

By David Gauke | 30 January 2021 | 201 comments

Alex Deane: European countries don’t spend enough on defence. Trump told them so – and so should Biden.

The new administration will want to look and feel different but, on this issue, it should resist being lured into “compromise”.

By Alex Deane | 15 December 2020 | 45 comments

Ryan Bourne: A British overspill from America’s result. Why the debate on the right over economics will now intensify.

Stateside narratives have a tendency to be imported into UK politics – one of the knock-on effects of this messy Presidential election outcome.

By Ryan Bourne | 11 November 2020 | 11 comments

Claire Coutinho: Amidst the Great Global Data Divide, Britain must lead the charge for digital free markets

As a leading digital economy with new control over its trade policy, Britain is uniquely placed to help shape global rules in this emerging arena.

By Claire Coutinho MP | 16 October 2020 | 37 comments

David Gauke: Big Government is back. It didn’t work before. It may not now. Here’s why we should be wary of it.

Post-Covid, the environment is likely to be egalitarian and interventionist. For libertarian, small state Eurosceptics, this must come as a disappointment.

By David Gauke | 20 June 2020 | 140 comments

The middle way on free and fair trade (and the only practicable one)

People cannot simply be viewed as consumers or producers – there are other dimensions to policy, including the stewardship of the countryside.

By Paul Goodman | 21 May 2020 | 97 comments

Coronavirus 2) Ryan Bourne: Beware it being used as a cover for promoting socialism and protectionism

A home-focused industrial policy hardly saved China from this epidemic. And openness and markets ensure diversity of supply – particularly in medicine and food.

By Ryan Bourne | 4 March 2020 | 76 comments

Ryan Bourne: The core challenge that Johnson’s Government won’t face up to. Boosting growth.

Ministers have been asked to push the Government’s priorities – tackling crime, funding the NHS, “levelling up”. How can these be effected without faster growth?

By Ryan Bourne | 5 February 2020 | 48 comments

James Arnell: The conventional wisdom about a trade deal with America is wrong. Trump will want a fair one. Here’s why.

The primary motivation to strike a fair agreement with the UK will be to apply pressure to the EU.

By James Arnell | 14 August 2019 | 100 comments

Interview. Raab on the great opportunities and imponderable risks that he sees in a No Deal Brexit

The former Brexit Secretary warns of the danger that MPs will believe the Government has not even demanded the necessary concessions from Brussels.

By Andrew Gimson | 5 February 2019 | 102 comments

WATCH: Ici Londres – There is nothing wrong with a trade deficit, argues Hannan

“The more cheaply we can buy goods and services… the more we free up time for our people to make, and sell, and buy, and invent things.”

18 July 2018 | 46 comments

In Twitter politics, truth is simultaneously the highest prize and the first casualty

Remarkably, sometimes these inconsistent trends both exist within the same tweet – as with a recent viral clip accusing a peer of telling lies when he was in fact correct.

By Mark Wallace | 23 April 2018 | 30 comments

J.P.Floru: Let’s be Singapore – and prosperous, post-Brexit, beyond our wildest dreams

Basically, we need to undercut the world. We can do so if we slash red tape and tax. Within a very short period there would be a pronounced Laffer Effect.

By JP Floru | 29 January 2018 | 149 comments

Coming soon to a party near you: the Institute for Protection

Supporters of a new pro-free trade think-tank will be told that Tories are all behind them in principle. But…

By Paul Goodman | 28 September 2017 | 41 comments

Antoinette Sandbach: We won’t make a success of Brexit if we don’t boost productivity

We should seek the closest possible relationship with the EU and an open trade policy. Firms need confidence to invest.
