Sarah Ingham: The Government’s Covid response could soon register as the biggest public policy disaster in Britain’s history

As with the Iraq War, the public is none too appreciative when it realises it has been misled, not least thanks to dodgy data.

By Dr Sarah Ingham | 21 January 2022

Sarah Ingham: Why is so much art in Britain’s public realm either ugly, witless or pointless?

Too often councillors are cheerleaders-in-chief for incongruous cultural blots on our landscapes.

By Dr Sarah Ingham | 23 July 2021

Radical: What Peter Singer and his philosophical beliefs have taught me about the gender debate.

The biggest surprise of the philosopher’s long-awaited Journal of Controversial ideas is what it claims to be controversial.

By Radical | 28 April 2021

Robert Halfon: 30 years ago, Major defied foreign policy orthodoxies, saved thousands of Kurdish lives – and set us an example

Britons can be very proud that he quickly answered the calls of the Kurds at the moment of their righteous rebellion and intense suffering.

By Robert Halfon MP | 7 April 2021

Profile: George Galloway, who “is going to vote for Beelzebub, I’m going to vote for a Scottish Tory”

This old-style socialist turns out to be much more of a small-c conservative than his many critics are willing to admit.

By Andrew Gimson | 4 March 2021

Daniel Hannan: The China genocide amendment. Trade sanctions punish the innocent – and make fortunes for oppressive regimes

Though micro-measures aimed at those responsible might work: travel bans, asset seizures, arrest warrants.

By Lord Hannan | 17 February 2021 | 11 comments

Profile: Nadhim Zahawi, vaccines minister and a rising star who knows what it is like to fall

When his family fell on hard times, education made the difference. Were there to be a vacancy in that department, he would be an obvious candidate.

By Andrew Gimson | 12 February 2021 | 20 comments

Alec Cadzow: Global Britain must be prepared to intervene in the Middle East

The region has been conspicuously absent from our foreign policy discourse, largely attributable to mistrust on intervention caused by the Iraq war.

By Alec Cadzow | 15 January 2021 | 53 comments

Garvan Walshe: This week’s Israel-Morocco deal. A consolation gift for Trump…and a strategic win for China.

The agreement involves revising an international border – opposed in this case by the EU and the UK. It will have knock-on effects elsewhere.

By Garvan Walshe | 17 December 2020 | 8 comments

Robert Halfon: Helping our friends and allies the Kurds, beacons of pluralism and democracy in the Middle East

They deserve more attention in our developing foreign and security policy – since the Middle East matters massively to global peace and prosperity.

By Robert Halfon MP | 15 July 2020 | 5 comments

Julie Newcombe: Hancock must aid the pandemic’s forgotten victims. The hundreds of autistic people detained in secure units.

Is the sequestering, incarceration and forgetting of these vulnerable children and young adults any better than in Georgian and Victorian times?

By Julie Newcombe | 22 June 2020 | 7 comments

Daniel Hannan: One man driving to Durham imperils the nation’s health. But lots of protesters in London don’t. Have we all gone mad?

Sitting in a park is selfish, but organising a mass demonstration in a park is wonderful, and schools should still stay closed. Seriously?

By Daniel Hannan | 10 June 2020 | 239 comments

Joe Baron: Leaving the EU is a joyous expression of national self-confidence. For that, we have Thatcher to thank.

If Britain joined in a moment of self-doubt, it voted out as a confident, self-assured, optimistic, outward-looking and independent nation state.

By Joe Baron | 3 February 2020 | 77 comments

Johnson aligns himself in the Soleimani crisis with those who deprecate barbarism

The Prime Minister has shown a moderation of which his critics did not believe him capable.

By Andrew Gimson | 7 January 2020 | 65 comments

Chloe Westley: The twisted ideology that upends reason – and presents terror backers as innocent victims

Postmodernism strips the likes of Shamima Begum of personal responsibility and judges her solely by ethnicity, religion and class.

By Chloe Westley | 18 February 2019 | 81 comments
