Bradley must face down the foes of the free press

The abuses at the heart of the hacking scandal were already illegal. A state regulator would only allow those running it to pursue punitive agendas against legal activity.

Hands off the Daily Mail

The campaign against the paper is not so much about a headline last week, but about shifting the balance of media power to the left.

The leadership election, Party members and the Tory press. How much difference will the pro-Johnson Telegraph make?

Endorsements don’t matter all that much. But the tone and flavour of coverage does – what stories are selected; how they are written; how they are projected.

Christopher Howarth: Cameron’s Hollow Deal 2) We gave up a veto – and may not get what we were promised in return

Part Two of a ConHome series on how the Prime Minister’s aim of a reformed Europe, claimed by him as the basis for a Remain vote, was not achieved by his renegotiation.

The centre right press delivers a withering verdict on Cameron’s EU renegotiation demands

‘Is that it?’…’Cameron aimed low and missed’…’a waste of time and effort’…’fundamental change is not even being requested.’

Iain Dale: Justice for Jeremy!

Plus: Loud sounds from Tom Watson. Pig noises from Craig Oliver. And: Come and hear me make a fool of myself in Manchester on Sunday.

Benjamin Barnard: Cameron, just a marshmallow PR man? Not so: see how he’s beating the Left

From Tory nazis to feminised Conservatives. An academic view of Party progress with women.

In 2005, the party still only had 17 women MPs. Ten years on, it is 68. The Universities are taking note.

Labour’s foxes: not so much shot as incinerated. Fleet Street’s take on the budget.
