John Redwood: Ten years on, this Government is still trying to reverse Brexit – not harness it’s opportunities

Amy Selman: May’s local elections were not about local issues – we have to challenge a lack of interest in what councils are for

Too many voters in May voted on national politics and policy or couldn't be bothered to vote because they didn't know what councils can do or should be doing. Together we can keep Parliamentary and media pressure on councils so they help people, not pet causes.

Brandon To: As an immigrant I’d say Britain’s policing isn’t “two-tier” – it’s too terrified

True anti-racism in policing should not be hesitation, but confidence that when the police act, they do so with the full, unbiased weight of the law behind them.

It is how many opportunities they help create.

Bernard Argente: Supping with the devil, so the story goes, requires a very long spoon – or just refusing to eat

Political pundits and even conservative ones, such as Jacob Rees-Mogg, believe they have found the remedy for the Conservative Party: working with Reform UK.
