Paul Abbott: The Coalition in 163 charts

The Institute for Government’s new guide reminds us that the Conservative-Liberal Democrat partnership helped to improve Britain for the better.

Comment, Highlights | By Paul Abbott | 23 November 2015 at 6:30 am | 6 comments

Paul Abbott: The scandal of the Stockwell Bus Garage – and why we must build on brownfield land to get the homes we need

These two acres are used as an overnight cleaning shack – with no housing on top of it. Nothing. Zilch. Not a square metre of living room: just thin air.

Paul Abbott: The graph that shows why Hunt is right about a Seven Day NHS

The BMA is a trade union that uses public pressure to bargain for higher wages. I don’t begrudge you that. But NHS reforms have to be fair to patients, too.

Columnists, Highlights | By Paul Abbott | 9 November 2015 at 6:30 am | 29 comments

Paul Abbott: Starvation. Cannibalism. Millions dead. The horror of the communism which Corbyn’s spin master praised

Meanwhile, the country endured not only Stalingrad and Stalino, but also Stalinabad, Stalinsk, Stalinogorsk, Stalinskoye, Stalinski, Staliniri & Mount Stalin.

Paul Abbott: Hold your nerve and back the tax credit changes

Those opposing the step must specify their alternative proposals – £4.4 billion of extra taxes or debt would be unacceptable.

Columnists, Highlights | By Paul Abbott | 26 October 2015 at 6:45 am | 125 comments

Paul Abbott: Ride-sharing! Pavement stops! Fixed timetables! The shocking story of the rise of the big red London bus

Picture the objections from the hackney carriage PR-men! Perhaps if Sadiq Khan had been alive to see such news, he would have raised a formal objections in Parliament.

Columnists, Highlights | By Paul Abbott | 19 October 2015 at 6:45 am | 8 comments

Paul Abbott: Khan’s housing plan means rationing – which means fewer new homes

Labour is the Party of the queue. Do you want to send your daughter to the best local school? Tough. Do you want a new home for your family? Tough.

Paul Abbott: The bursary scheme will boost Conservative prospects in target seats

Many young candidates face serious financial hardship trying to campaign fulltime in marginal constituencies.

Columnists, Highlights | By Paul Abbott | 5 October 2015 at 7:00 am | 5 comments

Paul Abbott: Seven flaws in Labour’s machine

There’s a lot of focus on Corbyn’s personality and Labour’s policies. But it’s worth taking an exacting look at the condition of the party on the ground.

Columnists, Highlights | By Paul Abbott | 28 September 2015 at 6:45 am | 44 comments

Paul Abbott: Voters can judge Corbyn by the gallery of wrong ‘uns who cheered his victory

Ernst Stavro Blofeld – if he existed – would no doubt have raised an expensive glass of schnapps to Comrade Corbyn, from the avuncular gloom of his volcano base.

Columnists, Highlights | By Paul Abbott | 21 September 2015 at 6:30 am | 5 comments

Paul Abbott: Don’t just blame VoteSource. The Party needs constitutional change.

Plus: We need to care more for our candidates post-election. And: A recruiting brainwave from Conor Burns.

Columnists, Highlights | By Paul Abbott | 14 September 2015 at 6:45 am | 16 comments

Paul Abbott: How Churchill can inspire us to take on Corbyn – and the rest of them

Looking at long lines of miserable British people awaiting one handout or another, he fired back: “The socialist dream is no longer Utopia, but Queue-topia!”

Columnists, Highlights | By Paul Abbott | 7 September 2015 at 6:30 am | 5 comments

Paul Abbott: The Party has duties to us – and we have duties to the Party too

We need a bigger Conservative movement, and I believe we should build it using the only economic system that really works – private enterprise.

Columnists, Highlights | By Paul Abbott | 31 August 2015 at 7:00 am | 24 comments

Paul Abbott: Reforming Conservative Associations. Let’s be bold – while time is in our side

The Kennedy plan set out on this site could work. It would further professionalise our campaigning, while enhancing the local democracy that our Party depends on.

Columnists, Highlights | By Paul Abbott | 24 August 2015 at 7:00 am | 12 comments

Paul Abbott: Selecting Parliamentary candidates. We need to get the process going now – while Labour is in chaos

50 “nominated campaigners” should be deployed immediately in Opposition-held seats, to build up local Conservative champions behind enemy lines.
