Emma Schubart is a Research Fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, where she focuses on Islamism, counter-extremism, and the Muslim Brotherhood’s activities and influence in the UK. Today, at last, the Government has proscribed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation. It is a decision that is unquestionably right. It is also, in a very real sense, years too late.

Language used by Roger Hirst, Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex, in an interview with LBC and an article on this site has been the subject of legal action in the High Court.

Thirty years in schools taught me that you can read a child’s future in how they talk about work. I led Spalding High School from good to outstanding and later transformed Skinners’ Academy in Hackney, and in both places the same pattern held: pupils who had met an employer, shadowed a job, or done something beyond an exam paper, were set up better for life outside of education. Those who hadn’t often drifted, not through laziness but through an absence of imagination about what comes next.

Calum Davies is a Conservative councillor in Cardiff and former Senedd candidate. As the country prepares for the ‘King in the North’ to abandon his regal title for the more workaday role of Prime Minister, the word devolution has started to enter the political lexicon in the most significant way for three decades.

I was fourteen, I think, when I first met Anne Widdecombe. At the time I had no great political sensibilities and no fully formed opinions on politics, bar those I suspect I absorbed from the adults around me, rather than thinking myself. My mother and step father ran a small fruit farm in Kent, and Anne was our local MP.

Chris Philp MP is the Shadow Home Secretary. Britain’s asylum system is completely broken. Since Labour came to power, more than 75,000 people have arrived in our country illegally via small boats. Their foolish move to scrap the Rwanda scheme without any alternative plan has backfired spectacularly. If your first act coming to Britain is to break the law, you should have no right to stay here. Yet Labour also reversed the ban on illegal migrants claiming asylum introduced by the Conservatives.

Matthew Jeffery is an experienced global talent and recruitment leader, with more than 25 years advising boards and C-suite executives on workforce strategy, skills, and productivity. Reform supporters will rage at the very suggestion the show might be coming to end and choke on their morning Cheerios but anger does not change reality. The signs of decline are beginning to appear. Yes, Reform is still ahead in national polling, although recent surveys show the gap tightening.

Cllr Phil Eckersley is the Conservative candidate for Mayor of Greater Manchester and a councillor in Trafford. They are not asking for another grand slogan. They are asking why their town centre feels less safe than it used to. Why young people cannot afford to buy near their families. Why some boroughs keep paying in but do not seem to get a fair share back. Why development keeps being pushed without the roads, schools, GP access and transport to support it.

Don’t be complacent – Reform is bigger than Farage Oliver Dean Complacency and arrogance is, in part, why we are in opposition at the moment, and why we risk being consumed by Reform if we do not get our act together. It is imperative that such a mindset does not plague the party once again.
