UK Politics

The British public is just about mature enough to have a sensible debate about the need for more immigration.

There’s an unfortunate drip-drip of announced exits as the party’s electoral prospects continue to look dire.

The Prime Minister is under pressure to act after the highest immigration figures since the second world war.

Immigration can be slowed and it can certainly be better managed but it cannot, I repeat, be stopped.

The party is on death row, with the men in grey suits the self-appointed high priests of managed decline.

Ryan Shorthouse quit his role at the Conservative think tank and launched a damning critique of the current government.

While George Osborne imposed fiscal tightening on an economy that was growing, Jeremy Hunt’s tightening will hit an economy that is in recession.

The policy will help Starmer to present the Conservative party as remote, rich and out of date.

Osborne’s attempt to make London and Beijing indispensable allies was hopelessly naive.
