16th December last year saw the by-election in North Shropshire prompted by the resignation of the former cabinet minister Owen Paterson (elements of which we discussed here). The election, in what had been a safe Conservative seat, saw a 34% swing to the Lib Dems (the seventh largest in by-election history) and returned Helen Morgan […]
On 31st January this year it will be one year since Britain left the European Union. It’ll also be a month since the new customs and borders provisions took effect. For the former, it’s likely to see a slew of articles (from both sides of the debate) about how great/tragic Brexit has been, and for

And that’s it. Parliament is in recess, and after I’ve pressed publish on this I’ll be going off on a long Christmas holiday. But, as is often the case, there’s just one last thing.

Back in September, we wrote an article asking whether life was going out of cases against low traffic neighbourhoods. The themes, we said, were becoming stale and the cases becoming repetitive.
