Iain Dale: “The policy on gay marriage has driven away our most useful bigots”

The Tories are losing this campaign. Sir Anthony Garner’s memorial service. Mrs Keith Simpson trashes my property rights. And: Boris is on all fours with Theresa May

From Reggie to Dessie: Cleavages, bald patches – and Colonel Bob of Bosnia fame

Plus: Stephen O’Brien triumphant. What not to wear while canvassing. Commons catering, KFC-style. And: Kensington – that snake-pit of ambitious thrusters.

Daniel Hannan MEP: Scrap IPSA, keep outside interests, adopt Recall – and free the Commons from professional politicians

Instead of prohibiting second jobs, we should treat serving as an MP as being a second job.

Iain Dale: How I surprised Ed Balls with my small package

Plus: Bennett’s brain fade. Why I will not put my name in for Kensington. No to Sol Campbell. Why there are no gay people in Alabama. And: arise, Lord Montgomerie!

Another fudge on English devolution is a risk to the Union and our party

Insufficient and unequal devolution got us into this mess – only full and fair Devo Max for all the Home Nations will settle the matter.

“If Ministers refuse to give evidence to my committee, that itself would imply that they have something to hide.”

The Party’s plan must be pressed on Labour & the LibDems. If Scotland votes No and the Prime Minister backs off it, the SNP will be back for a second push.

Benedict Rogers: The new Foreign Secretary must show us that he’s more than a bean counter

The question for you in this Open Letter is whether you will continue, develop and deepen that Conservative pledge to put human rights at the heart of foreign policy.

Charlotte Leslie MP: ISIS. MH17. Boko Haram. There are more serious issues at stake than whether Ministers have bosoms.

Events around the world are a wake-up call from Westminster’s self-absorption.

The Prime Minister unites his party on Europe, but is he winning – or is the Tory Right?

By challenging the German system of consensus politics, Cameron made himself a hero for a day.

Sir Gerald Howarth MP: Why Farage is foolish to pander to Putin

The UKIP leader’s remarks about the Russian president should ring alarm bells.
