Our Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Sullivan argues that working on positive policy solutions is the best way for newly elected MPs to stand out amongst the new class. With a new majority, Boris Johnson now runs a strong and stable new government. With this comes the freedom to think the unthinkable and look for radical solutions to the very real […]
Our Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Sullivan reports on the new landscape of British politics. After hearing his calls to “Get Breakfast Done” most Conservative campaign staff will have done just that. At time of writing they will no doubt be sleeping the sleep of the just; proud that they delivered Boris Johnson the largest majority for the Conservatives since the […]
Our Head of External Relations, Elizabeth Anderson argues that TfL was absolutely right to strip Uber of its licence to operate in London. Once again, Transport for London has stripped Uber of its licence to carry passengers in the capital. This is hardly a surprise – having successfully appealed their 2017 ban, the operator then found itself on a short […]
Our Director of Financial Services, Tim Focas thinks that the anti-Brexit naysayers in the mainstream media are far too negative when it comes to Britain’s economy.

The word that has possibly changed the shape of British politics forever. It’s the word that most citizens of the United Kingdom hear daily being flung around by politicians, commentators and others from […]
Instead of paying £39bn to be stuck in a BRINO-Brexit, EFTA offers the best form of transition as we leave the EU. We urgently need to re-evaluate the EFTA route to a meaningful and practicable Brexit, argues Cllr. Dr. Peter Hill As Theresa May pleaded for MPs to unite behind her it was heartening to see them heeding her suggestion […]
Brussels has made clear its belief that Brexit was a mistake. But at this point,a clean break is probably for the best. With barely a mistake having gone unmade in British Prime Minister Theresa May’s handling of Brexit, it is perhaps understandable that many observers have allowed their lurid fascination with the chaos in London to obscure the interests of […]
This time yesterday there was an 18 year old woman in a hotel room in Bangkok. She flew there from Kuwait, with a visa and flight onto Australia, and she hadn’t planned to check in or be in Thailand more than the transit time.
