In 'No Right to Rule'I say MPs must bow to the will of the people & honour the pledge that brought them to power. Parliament and government have a duty to do so and Johnson's removing the whip seeks to re-teach an old lesson politeia.co.uk/no-right-to-ru…

In UK constitution government, parliament & courts have separate roles. Prorogation is for governmen.The High Court made clear prorogation is a political matte - for politics not the courts.Will the Supreme Court recognise limits of its own role & powers? express.co.uk/news/politics/…

Today Caroline Flint criticised MPs' for wanting to thwart a deal. She is not alone.There's now a tripartite pact: the EU, the PM & the people. All want Brexit now.Only then can the real battle - the UK and its economy v Brussels' system begin, I say in brexitcentral.com/the-government…

In in today's vote Caroline Flint MP denounced MPs trying to stop Brexit. Voters, left& right, agree. They and Brussels want to move ahead & focus on the great questions. Will our economy pursue independence or accept alignment with Brussel? as I say in brexitcentral.com/the-government…

MPs now voting on December election should not under -estimate that ultimately, as the EU’s leaders recognise, the momentum is with Boris Johnson - as I explain in conservativehome.com/platform/2019/…

Jeremy Corbyn’s opening rally showed massing supporters, a 21st c. British Nuremburg. Crowds mindlessly & threateningly chanted the lies their leader shamelessly fed them-half-truths and falsehoods like those that brought dictators to power,I say in politeia.co.uk/labours-abando…

As the country prepares to go to the polls, Labour’s voters have been left without their party, to the detriment of Britain’s democratic tradition, as I say in politeia.co.uk/labours-abando…

This week’s GDP growth figures are good & bad news,says economist D.B.Smith bit.ly/34UmKr8. After the election the UK must rein in public spending and go for fiscal stabilization within two or three years of taking office, though a Labour govt. the time cd. be months

Labour voters have seen their party, under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, block the people's vote for Brexit. On Thursday they can vote for Brexit & send Mr Corbyn his P45. That wd. help save UK democracy that their party did much to build since 1906,I say in bit.ly/2PvOD2G

Labour's high command need a crash course in the basics of Britain’s political tradition to see that Labour voters, no less than others, are part of the democratic system their leaders want to overturn. That, Mr Ashworth is why they want Brexit. I say in bit.ly/2PvOD2G

The election revealed voters' belief in Britain, its prime minister and its democracy. Its voters are sound & incorruptible-impervious to the lies, bullying and spin of those who first mocked, then sought to silence them, I say in.

The pundits are wrong to say the campaign was ā€˜flat’.It was electric.On it hung the future of Britain,its democracy, its economy.Voters knew that; they understand there are battles ahead - good old haggles between equals under international law,I say in bit.ly/2RN8flC

On BBC R 4 election dissection, I say the focus should be on building high skill economy in north & midlands; Scottish nationalism may be at high watermark; that media bias and views in campaign were treated as facts. BBC Radio 4 show The World at One bbc.in/2rQDCRH šŸ“»ā€

Today, the decision taken in 2016 by a majority of voters was executed. It does so because Boris Johnson recognised that otherwise the freedom on which Britain's identity - political, constitutional, economic - rests, would be violated, I say today in politeia.co.uk/celebrating-br…

The Cummings affair has given the first chance since the election to opponents to attack the PM win -through the adviser at his side. They have never forgiven Boris Johnson for Brexit & for rallying the country to end subjection to Brussels, I say in: politeia.co.uk/freedom-not-sl…

UK leaders need knowledge,judgement,shrewdness & patience. They also need advisers who challenge accepted thinking.Many advisers who rise in the civil service share the ideology of the collective state. Those willing to challenge status quo are precious politeia.co.uk/category/blog/
