Opinion

Refugees

Why the new asylum bill is one of the worst pieces of legislation enacted by the government

Mike Buckley
Today

‘The Conservatives have clearly decided that a harsh asylum policy will play for them at the next election.’

Housing

Michael Gove’s plans to make developers pay for the cladding crisis are ill-thought-out

Chris Worrall
17 March, 2023 (3 days ago)

The government is merely taking money from private capital pots for new construction and forcing the reallocation to remediation without appreciating what impact that will have on new supply.

Refugees

We lost the vote on the treatment of refugees – but the fight is far from over

Diane Abbott
17 March, 2023 (3 days ago)

The public wants to see an improvement in their own lives. Rejoicing at the misery inflicted on refugees will not improve anyone’s life.

Parliament

Tom Brake

Trust is the grease on the wheels of a democratic society

Jeremy Hunt

Prem Sikka
16 March, 2023 (4 days ago)

Hunt

Seven ways the Spring Budget has failed to help working people

Gabrielle Pickard-Whitehead
15 March, 2023 (5 days ago)

‘The elephant in the room is the lack of funding for pay rises to recruit/retain public sector workers.’

Ben Cooper
9 March, 2023 (2 weeks ago)

Family Hubs aren’t Sure Start, and we should be bold enough to call out their inadequacies.

Brexit and EU

An outline agreement between the EU and USA shows why Brexit is a failure

Tony Burke
7 March, 2023 (2 weeks ago)

The UK seems well behind the curve on green industrial policy and is increasingly left standing watching on the sidelines.

The Windsor Framework

The Windsor Framework – a small step towards democracy

Diane Abbott
2 March, 2023 (3 weeks ago)

There are a number of reasons why the Framework deal is more democratic than the old Northern Ireland Protocol.

Northern Ireland

Brexit: The Windsor Framework changes politics more than trade

Mike Buckley
2 March, 2023 (3 weeks ago)

It is not the negotiating masterclass that Sunak would have us believe. Most of its provisions were offered unilaterally by the EU in October 2021.
