Beware the managerialists who think that all important political questions have been solved

The state cannot be the source of community attachments and affection

The tutting and muttering of Tory wets should be ignored

Ideas and values matter but they matter a lot less if you are not in power

The Hungarian Prime Minister’s office gives Orbán the space to think

Conservatives should hope that Keir Starmer can weaken its grip on British policy

The Process is good, the Process is correct, no matter what, trust the Process

Its short-term benefits are obvious but it is not a long-term solution

There is no point in being a member just to be browbeaten about our past

The continent is waking up to the need for solutions, and Britain must wake up as well
