Ryan Bourne: First, Covid-19 lockdowns. Next, climate change ones – rationed car use, no red meat. Coming soon to a country near you?

It might seem far-fetched that one could face jail for eating steak frites. But one could have said the same about not eating at least a scotch egg with your pint.

By Ryan Bourne | 9 December 2020 | 21 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

Interview: Goodhart says Johnson understands better than Starmer that a graduate meritocracy alienates manual workers

The author warns we are sending far too many people to university and creating “a whole great bloated cognitive bureaucratic class”.

By Andrew Gimson | 21 October 2020 | 57 comments

Darren Grimes: Not even Charles Moore can save the BBC

Why should we believe that any new Chairman can deliver change, when the new Director-General has seen his pledges fail in his first month in the job?

By Darren Grimes | 23 September 2020 | 191 comments

Dean Russell: As a volunteer in my local hospital, I’ve seen at first hand the damage done to NHS staff morale by fearmongering

If staff hear a constant flow of worst-case scenarios presented as the norm, it understandably affects their anxiety levels.

By Dean Russell | 1 September 2020 | 26 comments

Dean Godson: The new ethnic minority voices who are challenging left-wing orthodoxy on race and culture

The membership of a new Government commission represents a significant evolution in the story of these issues in Britain – and within the Conservatives.

By Dean Godson | 20 July 2020 | 34 comments

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?

By Neil O Brien MP | 29 June 2020 | 131 comments

Iain Dale: The arrogance of Cummings, the failures of the Guardian – and why we all need to keep a sense of proportion.

He’s a distraction and so can’t possibly have his mind on the job. But the Guardian and Mirror got a lot of the story wrong – and should apologise.

By Iain Dale | 29 May 2020 | 275 comments

David Goodhart: The virus. It’s almost certain that ethnic minorities are at greater risk. But we can’t yet know the full explanation.

There are three main factors at work – genetics, plus cultural and social factors. And it’s not possible at present to disentangle the mix.

By David Goodhart | 22 May 2020 | 24 comments

Daily press conferences – and what should happen next

Needed during the coming weeks: a Government information campaign for older people, their families, employers and businesses.

By Paul Goodman | 16 March 2020 | 292 comments

James Frayne: The BBC’s growing problem isn’t public hostility. It’s apathy. Fewer people see the point of it.

The trust factor is simply less relevant, because fewer people are accessing the Corporation’s output in the first place.

By James Frayne | 18 February 2020 | 69 comments

As 2020 begins, we look back on ten years in which Tories first led the movement for austerity…and then against it

And so it was that the cause of Remain, fronted by Cameron and George Osborne, lost out to that of Leave, led by…Boris Johnson and Michael Gove. 

By Paul Goodman | 1 January 2020 | 77 comments

The year in which the British people forced the pro-Remain Ascendancy to “come to heel”

When Lord Kerr whistled, voters turned the Nelsonian equivalent of a deaf ear.  When they whistled, he was dragged helplessly along by the command of a democratic vote.

By Paul Goodman | 31 December 2019 | 202 comments

Daniel Hannan: Where would we now find another Norman Stone?

Had he been on the Left, he would have been regarded as one of our towering public intellectuals. But he committed the ultimate sin: he was a Thatcherite.

By Daniel Hannan MEP | 30 October 2019 | 15 comments

Johnson the negotiator has been more robust than May – but less instransigent

By being so scornful, his critics have set a low bar for him. We are about to see whether he can astonish them by bounding over it.
