Don’t assume that this Commons will vote for a general election

MPs would thus become the elected equivalents of the welfare scroungers of tabloid legend – dragging the reputation of Parliament even deeper into the mud.

Iain Dale: The hustings. From Manchester to Belfast – and on to Nottingham.

Plus: Johnson, not a populist. Hunt’s beside manner. Lewis and his highly professional CCHQ team. And: the courage of 16 year old Ajay.

The price May is paying for survival is powerlessness

She yesterday achieved the outcome most likely to prop her up – at least for the time being. But Cooper, Letwin and Bercow are waiting in the wings.

Garvan Walshe: Orban’s fertility drive is an attack on Hungarian women

The man his critics call the ‘Viktator’ has two new policies – one a gimmick, one deeply sinister.

Grayling, Patten, the Far Right, the IRA, Brexit, the Speaker – and the difference between a threat and a warning

If two men are in a car, and the passenger says to the driver: “Look out! You’re going to crash,” he is shouting out the second, not the first.

Garvan Walshe: Conservatives should defend human rights in Eastern Europe – Hunt must condemn Orbán

This autocratic thuggery is happening less than two hours’ flight away. We must not turn a blind eye to it.

Garvan Walshe: Merkel stood firm against her party’s worst instincts on immigration. And paid the price.

What would the lesser men who would bring her down have done: put migrants on sealed trains in their tens of thousands and send them – where, exactly?

Garvan Walshe: The Tory MEPs who voted with Orbán betray Thatcher’s legacy

The Hungarian Prime Minister has violated democratic norms, and exploited British taxpayers’ money to enrich his elite. Why protect him?

Will Italy’s new government blow the bloody doors off? Don’t get your hopes up. (Or your fears either.)

One day the country’s voters may dig in against the long squeeze imposed on them from northern Europe. But don’t be too sure it will happen yet.

Might some Labour MPs oppose a customs union? If so, are the Tory whips making contact with them?

Those representing working class seats in the Midlands and North will be nervous of any suggestion that they’re betraying the referendum result.

Garvan Walshe: Have no doubt about it – Prime Minister Corbyn would abandon Eastern Europe

Britain would be powerless to deter Russian aggression, because he doesn’t see upholding peace and security in Europe – let alone the world – to be part of his job.

Votes loom on the EU Withdrawal Bill in the Lords. Which places a big responsibility on Labour’s leader there – Angela Smith.

Crossbench votes are always crucial in the Upper House as it now is. But the decisive role in the Bill’s consideration may well be played by the Official Opposition.

The presence of people like Orban in the EU club should worry Brussels far more than the prospect of Britain leaving it

He often disagrees with EU policies, but would not be averse to using its powers and institutions to promote a very different, nativist, concept of Europe and Europeans.

By Mark Wallace | 9 April 2018 | 145 comments

Poland’s new Holocaust law is unworthy of one of the great, civilised nations of Europe

The Law and Justice Party has sought to foment a poisonous dynamic which could do great harm to relations with Poland’s Jews.

Profile: Viktor Orban – migrant-hostile, anti-liberal…but pro-EU, and more pragmatic than he seems

The EU bureaucracy, with its supranational claims, is a godsend to him. But he is more pragmatic than he looks. He does not want a Hungary without allies.
