How the school funding formula got bogged down

The proposed reform has lost support even among those who spent years calling for the old system to be scrapped.

By Mark Wallace | 21 March 2017 at 4:27 pm | 32 comments

Martin McGuinness, terrorist godfather and the Queen’s Minister

Had he been in better health, and Northern Ireland a first Minister other than Arlene Foster, its government might not have collapsed.

Coming soon – at least seven Brexit Bills. Leaving the EU will define May’s Government: a fate she should embrace.

The EU referendum’s winners and losers are still struggling to adapt to their role reversal

Those Remainer MPs who hope to continue the fight face particular difficulties.

By Harry Phibbs | 18 March 2017 at 9:08 am | 130 comments

Students shouldn’t be counted in the immigration figures. But we’ll have to wait for that to change.

With the public sceptical after years of letdowns, and the importance of the manifesto fresh in the headlines, it’ll be 2019 before action is possible.

By Mark Wallace | 17 March 2017 at 3:57 pm | 101 comments

Osborne triumphantly demonstrates a journalistic essential. A sense of mischief.

With election expenses, as with NICs, the Government cannot afford to alienate its own MPs

Many parliamentarians feel that CCHQ has hung them out to dry by being slow to take responsibility for its errors.

By Mark Wallace | 16 March 2017 at 1:23 pm | 112 comments

The NICs bungle has exposed a weakness. This is not a strong Cabinet.

In terms of the effectiveness of government and its presentation to voters, the Prime Minister could lose roughly a third of it without losing any sleep.

By Paul Goodman | 16 March 2017 at 6:50 am | 185 comments

Yes, it’s Gove v Portes in a brutal Brexit rematch – but where’s the blood?
