It’s a dangerous myth that mass migration is good for the economy
It’s time to end the disastrous 25 year experiment with mass migration. We must return to the historical norm of net migration in the 10,000s. And only the democratic lock of a cap will consign broken immigration promises to history.
We must get Brexit back on track, or risk Labour unravelling our biggest achievement
Too many Conservatives seem to see Brexit more as an embarrassing secret than a huge democratic achievement. Conservatives got Brexit across the line. Since then, the UK has grown faster than France, Germany, and Italy, and we’re now the fourth largest exporter. But there are still opportunities to be seized. We have months left of this parliament. Instead of voting on pedicabs and banning smoking, we could be pushing through reforms that would transform our economic model and free us from this low-growth cycle. If Conservatives can’t be bothered to defend our record on Brexit and take full advantage of its freedoms, we will pay a price. Labour will seek to undo Brexit, abandon the gains, and put Britain last.
The Rwanda Bill is a sham. We have no choice but to leave the ECHR
Delays to the Rwanda Bill continue to run their course. But soon we will enter a period of consequences. The lesson of this saga is that when it comes to safeguarding our security, there can be no half measures.
Labour is planning a disastrous second Blairite revolution
The British state needs radical reform. But Labour’s plan? To entrench the failed status quo with yet more unaccountable quangos and constitutional vandalism. It’s not a recipe for change; it’s a recipe for voters to cede control.
Our museums have fallen into the hands of a careless generation
Our museums have fallen into the hands of a careless generation. We must rescue them from liberal elites who appear intent on denuding priceless artefacts
Leasehold Britain is a rip-off. We must end it for good
Leasehold Britain is a rip-off. We must end it for good. It’s an affront to the British dream of owning a home and the peace of mind that comes with ownership.
Why do we still send millions to China when we desperately need that money to defend ourselves against countries like... China?
With threats only growing, we must significantly increase defence spending. But money can’t be magicked up so we must divert spending from elsewhere. Until we’re confident in our ability to defend ourselves, we should direct half the aid budget to defence.
Prolific criminals should be in prison, not free to offend again
The tail is now wagging the dog: our lack of prison capacity is dictating our approach to crime.
Liberal elites put their reputation at Davos ahead of Britain’s interests
Politicians should relentlessly pursue the interests of their country’s citizens over those outside it, yet this is all too often forgotten.
Sadiq Khan’s woeful mayoralty has destroyed London’s once great nightlife
Knife crime is surging, red tape is proliferating and bars, clubs and restaurants are closing. It’s time to fix this mess.
