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.

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.

Julian Brazier: So Downing Street wants to tackle defence procurement. Here are five ways in which it should change.

Talk of more competition can be naïve if the choice simply amounts to either buying from a national monopoly or making an off-the-shelf purchase from the USA.

Rachel Wolf: I co-wrote this Conservative manifesto. And so can say that its focus was on neither the rich nor the poor.

Richard Chew: We need to professionalise the Special Advisers

They’re an easy target for criticism, but SpAds make all the difference to the Government’s performance and the Party’s prospects.

Nick Hillman: Don’t be swayed by the outrage. Treating EU students like other non-British students makes sense.

There are real problems with the Government’s general approach to international students. But morally and economically, this decision is the right one.

Andrew Gimson’s Commons sketch: Leadsom is unbelievably rude to Clarke while Letwin leads a conservative revolution

The Leader of the House is as cloth-eared as Jeremy Corbyn when it comes to dealing with her own backbenchers.
