The post Bernard Argente: Why on earth for the sake of the country and his own party won’t Starmer just go appeared first on Conservative Home.

Callum Price: Davey’s downer on the ‘Dubai Deanos’ and why it’s such muddled thinking

You may not like what Dubai has to offer, but don’t tarnish those who do with the brush of 'tax exiles' and 'washed-up old footballers’. If we were able to attract their like and their ambition, instead of scaring them away, we would all feel the benefits.

John Wall: The lessons of history for governments in trouble

Starmer’s government is unpopular suggesting a 2029 election. How will the Iran War or May elections play for him? Replacing him could be worthwhile, but if his successor hangs on until 2029 they’d have to achieve something only Attlee, just, and Major managed.
