Looking out across the blood-soaked battlefield at Asculum in 280BC, the victorious Greek, King Pyrrhus, turned to one of his generals and remarked: “One more such victory, and we shall be undone." Sitting in Downing Street, reflecting on last night’s successful passage of his same-sex marriage bill, David Cameron could be forgiven for entertaining similar [...]

Why politicians admit to being Eurosceptic only after leaving office
First Nigel Lawson argued that Britain would be better off outside the EU. Then Michael Portillo said the same thing. Now we learn that Margaret Thatcher reached the same view after leaving Downing Street. Hannan's First Law, it seems, is as robust as ever: no party is ever Eurosceptic while in office. Why not? Mainly [...]

If we carry on like this, we’ll give Labour a massive parliamentary majority with a minority of the popular vote. Together, the Conservatives and Ukip could deliver the referendum on leaving the EU which more than 80 per cent of people want. Instead, the two parties are locked in a quarrel which reflects badly on [...]
