RT @ChrisHBarr: What an absolutely terrific article. The Conservatives cannot win in their current guise because they don’t offer Conservatism! They are Labour! We need Thatcherites desperately that understood we must tighten our belts and live within our means! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/06/25/britain-falling-apart-tories-paying-price/

Pushing up the price of steel will harm many sectors, not least construction and car-making. If we absolutely must maintain an uncompetitive industry here, let's subsidise it - far cheaper than damaging the whole economy through tariffs. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2022/06/26/steel-tariffs-untory-embrace-protectionism/

@MikeVa011235813 On the contrary, it's a position guaranteed to enrage everyone. But if people won't defend it, the republic is finished.

@klyphnelson Yes, both sides. Listen to the commentary. How many people are focused on the constitutional question rather than on the arguments for or against abortion?

Today, we are being reminded in spades of the single biggest threat to American democracy - namely the indifference of both sides to process when they happen to want a particular outcome.

In this country, we decided abortion law democratically. We felt our way to a compromise that most people could at least live with, and took the heat out of the issue.
In the US, both sides legislate from the bench - hence the anger. A useful warning against judicial activism.

RT @DanielJHannan: This explains a lot. The lockdown will make almost everyone worse off. Jobs will go, taxes will rise, inflation will destroy savings. But, as of now, only 26 per cent think it has had a negative impact on their income. I’m afraid the rest are in for a nasty shock.
