The Deal in Detail 4) The environment and energy

The fourth of a series of pieces from Policy Exchange looking at specific issues that arise from the Brexit trade deal.

By Benedict McAleenan and Ed Birkett | 31 December 2020 | 21 comments

David Lidington: We have left the EU and there is no turning back. Here’s what our new relationship with Europe should look like.

Above all, we need to focus on the strategic picture. Throughout the world democracy, human rights and the rule of law are under pressure.

By David Lidington | 29 December 2020 | 16 comments

Iain Dale: Why have Buckland and Braverman signed up to breaking international law?

Plus: Deteriorating broadsheet standards, a divided United Kingdom. And: nineteen years on from 9/11.

By Iain Dale | 11 September 2020 | 162 comments

Andrew Griffith: Suspending Air Passenger Duty could give the aviation industry the lifeline it needs

This sector is hugely important to the UK economy, accounting for many jobs, as well as boosting trade. The Government must help it in these troubled times.

By Andrew Griffith MP | 10 August 2020 | 16 comments

Andrew Mitchell: I used to be adamantly opposed to all forms of assisted dying. Here’s why I’ve changed my mind.

By the end of these meetings, I was invariably left with the overwhelming feelings that we would not let an animal we loved be treated in such a way.

By Andrew Mitchell MP | 22 July 2020 | 39 comments

Anthony Browne: It’s time to drop the defeatist narrative about Britain and Covid-19. We have had many successes.

The coverage of death rates in this country has been lacking in nuance – leading people to have skewed perceptions of the UK’s performance.

By Anthony Browne | 23 June 2020 | 89 comments

Six months on from last year’s general election, it’s only the LibDems who bang on about Europe

The CBI supports the Government’s timetable and Starmer is keeping his head down. It is quite the turnaround.

By Paul Goodman | 18 June 2020 | 240 comments

Alec Shelbrooke: Next year’s exam season should be postponed – to allow more catch-up time in schools

It would require the willingness of exam boards to adjust their timetables. But with the will to achieve this, it could be done.

By Alec Shelbrooke MP | 5 June 2020 | 17 comments

The second wave is treated as inevitable. But Europe suggests otherwise.

Nothing is certain in this crisis; not even the possibility of another large outbreak, as Switzerland and Denmark suggest.

By Charlotte Gill | 1 June 2020 | 77 comments

Ryan Bourne: A view so radical that some simply won’t see it. The driver of our problems isn’t lockdown. It’s the virus.

Impacts on the margin shouldn’t be used to mask the big picture: private activity mimicked shutdowns before they happened.

By Ryan Bourne | 13 May 2020 | 51 comments

Daniel Hannan: Why are so many Burkean Tories still backing this rolling forward of state power?

The government’s initial response was in fact admirably Burkean. The full force of law was used sparingly. And you know what? It did the trick.

By Daniel Hannan | 13 May 2020 | 52 comments

Can the UK really follow South Korea? Five big issues as the Isle of Wight experiences contact tracing.

Technologically and culturally, the Asian country is a very different place – and it launched its programme before the virus could take root.

By Charlotte Gill | 6 May 2020 | 79 comments

Andrew Rosindell: Britain’s zoos and aquariums are endangered – they need our urgent help

I have serious concerns about the sector surviving this crisis. We cannot allow the worst to happen and our zoos and aquariums put at risk.

By Andrew Rosindell | 21 April 2020 | 25 comments

Exit strategies: What do these look like in other countries?

Some regions have already started to ease off lockdown measures. Here are their plans so far:

By Charlotte Gill | 17 April 2020 | 70 comments

Interview: Lamont describes how the belief that Britain should leave the EU entered the Tory mainstream

Her told a meeting in 1994 that “it has recently been said that the option of leaving the Community [is] ‘unthinkable’. I believe this attitude is rather simplistic.”
