Jon Moynihan and Christopher Howarth: Now Truss should deploy Britain’s Brexit dividend – all the way from aid to trade

Anti-corruption and cementing new treaties should take precedence over softer fashionable favourites.

Enver Solomon and Sunder Katwala: Refugees mark 70 years of UK sanctuary

We should take pride in seven decades of refugee protection, and it is a principle we must uphold in the future too.

Ian Michler: A crucial moment in the campaign against lions being bred for slaughter

I felt a rush of mixed emotions, including disbelief. But then came the realisation that Creecy’s announcement was a significant shift in thinking.

Lord Ashcroft: My campaign against captive lion breeding in South Africa scores a success. Its government agrees to a ban.

There is still a long way to go. I have no doubt that further battles lie ahead. But today’s news is an important step in the right direction.

Luke Coffey: My friend Tobias Ellwood is right to want Britain to purchase this piece of Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Circle

Some are having fun with Alan Duncan’s diary revelation that Tobias wants Svetland to become a UK spaceport. They shouldn’t.

Sunder Katwala: Gandhi does not quite fit the bill of recognising ethnic minority Britons on our currency

He may have been one of the greatest figures to shape the 20th century, but a simplistic deification risks losing the complexity of the man.

Henry Smith: Britain must show international leadership on wildlife and the environment

This isn’t just a green issue: cruel animal exploitation is seriously increasing the risk of future diseases jumping the species gap.

Neil O’Brien: The New Puritans want to tear down our liberal settlement. Here’s what they think – and why they must be resisted.

Countries need a balance of self-criticism and self-confidence. People are often called on to act for a greater good. But if Britain is shameful, why bother?

Profile: Black people in Britain, and whether this is an irretrievably racist or a wonderful country

It seems to me there is truth on both sides of this argument. The nuances to which Lammy refers get lost once combat is joined.

Neil O’Brien: Stormzy, “niggas”, “bitches” – and scholarships. Do we really want to fund racial groups?

Collecting statistics on people’s self-identified racial background is one thing.  Having ringfenced funding for one racial group is quite another.

Lord Ashcroft: More woe for St Helena. New figures reveal that its airport has failed to bring an influx of visitors

Sadly, neither I nor others have a magic wand to wave but, for starters, the island needs to become far more accessible to the outside world.

Garvan Walshe: How Trump’s blunders give Iran the chance for “nuclear breakout”

The United States’ weakened capabilities and frayed alliances both play in Tehran’s favour at a crucial and sensitive time.

Lord Ashcroft: Breeding lions for slaughter in South Africa. What Gove must do to help stamp out this cruel practice.

My undercover investigation exposed a disgusting and abusive practice which shames South Africa – and, by extension, all of us.

Anger

Amidst verbal and actual violence, it is tempting to seek to shut down, say, Farage or Lammy altogether. But politics without anger would be impossible – and undesirable.

Dominic Walsh: What a customs union does and doesn’t do – and how it compares to the backstop.

Precisely because it would be a rather unnecessary addition to the current deal, it is hard to argue that the proposal would be a disaster for Brexit.
