When – if ever – will the real David Cameron stand up?

David Cameron looked relaxed, suave, untroubled and urbane in footage from the G7 summit last week. He was, after weeks of strife at home as his party tears itself in two over the referendum, in the sort of place where he plainly feels seriously chillaxed: with fellow world leaders, in one of their cosy clubs, where they flatter and revere each other – sometimes even sincerely – and can do, or pretend to do, business as great people must. And all without the tiresome interference of public opinion.

Fair migration and good facilities for new arrivals

During the first quarter of 2016,  224,000 EU migrants got jobs in the UK. Just 5000 migrants from elsewhere in the world were added to the UK workforce, whilst 185,000 British people got jobs.

If Cameron won’t debate against Boris, Osborne should do so

If the Prime Minister won’t defend his pro-EU case head-to-head, the Chancellor should.
