Daniel Hannan: The proposed Brexit terms represent a deal worse than either staying or leaving.

Frankly, any outcome – no deal, Norway, Canada, even the risk of a second referendum – would be better than what is currently on the table.

By Daniel Hannan MEP | 17 October 2018 | 367 comments

Penny Mordaunt: The twelve new rules of politics

Ideas and vision are necessary, but they are not sufficient. People need to see results and to achieve them they need to take part.

By Penny Mordaunt | 8 September 2018 | 109 comments

Jake Berry: What I found on my Northern Powerhouse tour. Resilience, skill, innovation and success. Plus an appetite for Brexit.

But more money and powers need to be given directly to the North to drive further progress.

By Jake Berry MP | 25 August 2018 | 63 comments

Michael Tomlinson: What Ministers should do to help strengthen families

Each Secretary of State in every department should examine the impact of their department’s policies on families’ lives.

By Michael Tomlinson | 14 August 2018 | 6 comments

Matt Warman: Closing the gulf between the politicians and the people

My new report for the Centre for Policy Studies suggests ways in which government can be made more accountable.

By Matt Warman MP | 23 July 2018 | 108 comments

James Frayne: Relations between businesses and politicians are made worse by the fact each misunderstand the other

It’s not just about Brexit – it’s deeper and longer-standing than that. Ironically, relations would improve if they each a bit more combative.

By James Frayne | 3 July 2018 | 18 comments

Alex Morton: Don’t review spending before first reviewing government – and how it doesn’t work

Its failures begins with the machinery of Government – the core civil service itself. This must be fixed.

By Alex Morton | 30 May 2018 | 22 comments

A lesson from Wednesday evening in the Commons. May might win a Customs Union vote after all.

So much of the Government’s strategy is predicated on the belief that this is impossible. But what if that’s wrong?

By Paul Goodman | 18 May 2018 | 145 comments

Staying in the Customs Union until 2022. The pluses. The minuses.

Speculation about pressure on Williamson, or calculation about Cabinet numbers, misses a key point: May must keep Davis and Fox onside.

By Paul Goodman | 13 May 2018 | 87 comments

The consequences of Customs Union indecision. How Britain could end up with EEA-lite – formally or informally.

The longer the delay in making a decision, the longer it will take for an alternative to be ready.

By Paul Goodman | 9 May 2018 | 333 comments

Charlie Elphicke: The customs debate is pointless if we aren’t ready with a new system. Government is failing and must succeed.

When I asked freight experts at a Treasury Select Committee hearing if we still had enough time, they said: “You would have to get a hell of a wiggle on.”

By Charlie Elphicke MP | 4 May 2018 | 19 comments

James Frayne: The Home Office is famously hard to run, but Rudd might have survived had she had a better grip on it

In my experience of departmental life, it will take at least six months before we can judge Javid’s management.

By James Frayne | 1 May 2018 | 35 comments

Rob Wilson: How government must change to deliver real social reform

It is too fragmented to deliver this successfully – so a senior Cabinet minister should be tasked with bringing about change.

By Rob Wilson | 29 April 2018 | 64 comments

Syria. May’s calculation and the dangers of a May miscalculation – to others and to her

She will be feeling a hand of history on her shoulder, and wondering if the other holds a knife at her back.

By Paul Goodman | 12 April 2018 | 233 comments

James Frayne: May needs more brains in Whitehall as well as boots on the ground to make Brexit work

Here are just a few of the ways that I have seen work and that government should be adopting more broadly.
