  • Reinvigorating the regions is crucial for the whole of our country

    The Prime Minister had victory to savour on holiday in Mustique, and when he returned foreign policy was very much top of the agenda, with the escalating tensions between Iran and the US.  But if Boris Johnson is to remain in power for a decade, he must not take his eye off the ball domestically [...]

  • Dominic Cummings may be ruthless, but he delivers when it comes to securing victory

    November 28, 2016

    The news that the London nightclub Fabric is to potentially reopen is welcome. The progressive house music played there provided an antidote to the chart-toppers heard in the more salubrious salons of the West End. Similarly, those who speak out and stand up for what they believe in provide a contrarian view to mainstream thinking. This [...]
