A brain drain is coming. We need to talk about emigration. Yes, you read that right, emigration – not just immigration. You heard the warnings during the Brexit wars – business and investors will leave for Paris, Frankfurt, Milan (and the Earth will stop spinning...) unless we remain in the customs union – and back then it was largely a load of hot air. But hear me out. This time, it’s actually happening. Entrepreneurs and businesspeople are fleeing in their droves.

Free speech must not be sacrificed to appease Islamists

Sir Keir Starmer once marched into the High Court to defend a woman who trampled and daubed slogans on the American flag, thundering that even the most insulting acts of desecration are protected by free speech. Yet, today, faced with a man fined for burning a Koran, he melts into apparent silence. His own MPs are calling for him to specifically outlaw any “desecration” of holy books and he ominously failed to rule it out.

Farage is wrong about the two-child benefit cap. We must keep it

1 month ago | yahoo.com | Robert Jenrick

Spiralling welfare spending is bankrupting Britain. By the end of the decade it’s forecast to reach £378 billion. We face a reckoning unless we do something radical. But the conversation in Westminster is untethered from reality. Instead of debating how to bring the welfare bill down, and move hundreds of thousands of people off welfare into the dignity of work, the question is whether we should add to that bill by scrapping the two-child benefits cap. Until now Starmer has upheld it.
