Mark Francois: Johnson must keep his promises on Northern Ireland veterans – not sacrifice them to satisfy Sinn Fein

The Prime Minister pledged to defend those who defended us. I believe him.

Darren Grimes: These devalued degrees are infantalising a generation of young people

There are now so many of them that the degree itself has less impact on employability – this ensuring that they become less economically valuable.

Johnson aligns himself in the Soleimani crisis with those who deprecate barbarism

The Prime Minister has shown a moderation of which his critics did not believe him capable.

Iain Mansfield: Time to Take Back Control – of Whitehall

We argue that the civil service requires significant reform if it is to rise to the challenges facing our society and maximise the opportunities of Brexit.

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.

Andrew Gimson’s Commons sketch: Please, Prime Minister, stop talking about “the people’s priorities”

Meanwhile Corbyn behaved like a grumpy adolescent.

Johnson – at a stroke, a bigger player in foreign affairs, because of his larger majority. But what does he want to do?

The scale of his domestic ambitions and the legacy of the Iraq War suggest that his ambitions will be limited – for the moment at least.

David Davis: How to keep the new working class voters we won last Thursday – and win even more

“Boris put out his right hand softly and drew the sword out as gently as from a scabbard”.

His big win marks the end of the EU Ascendancy and the beginning of a new era: that of Britain as a sovereign nation.

The election in which the Conservatives finally waved farewell to Thatcher’s ghost

Johnson is a self-described “Brexity Hezza” and now has the chance to mould a Party and country in his own romantic image.

Unfit for office. But worse even than Corbyn are Labour’s moderates – who are willing to put his anti-Jewish racism into power.

Most voters will have what to them are more pressing reasons to reject Corbyn than anti-semitism. But none expose more fully why he must be stopped.

John O’Connell: The tax choice ahead. Johnson, and the highest burden since Attlee. Or Corbyn, and…the highest ever.

The tax burden isn’t a full measure of the size of the state. But it’s arguably the pre-eminent factor and certainly that which most concerns the TaxPayers’ Alliance.

David Davis: When it comes to terror, elected MPs must have the final say on human rights – not judges

Government and Parliament must limit judicial discretion in cases where there is a proven and ongoing risk to the public.

Andrew Green: Labour’s immigration policy is a threat to the country’s future

In the longer term, the aim of the hard left is to increase the size of the ethnic community so as to cement left-wing power.
