Rebecca Lowe: The Right cannot afford to duck the debate about trans, sex and gender

My lawyer friend Victoria Hewson and I have launched a small, non-funded campaign called ‘Radical’, aimed at fighting for truth and freedom in this arena.

Rebecca Lowe: Why the taxpayer should fund space exploration

There is a fundamental human need and desire to know more about the universe, to engage with it, to play our part and explore and achieve.

Rebecca Lowe: Leave isn’t right-wing, Remain isn’t left-wing

Len McCluskey’s opposition to a second referendum is explicit, Seamus Milne’s Euroscepticism is unshakeable, and so on. The People’s Voters need Labour’s whipping power, but they won’t get it.

Rebecca Lowe: We must not let the state crowd out private virtue

Insisting that our needs are met by the government reduces neigbours to numbers and diminishes our scope for good citizenship.

Rebecca Lowe: Nationalisation. Ask not only: would the state do it better? But also – should it be involved at all?

It was darkly funny to see Labour MPs claiming that nationalisation could fix signals failures when track infrastructure is owned and controlled by the state.

Rebecca Lowe: The Conservatives and women. The Tory electoral challenge has more to do with age than gender.

Rather than wasting time with forays into positive discrimination, the Conservatives should weight the merits of various forms of increased flexibility at work.

Rebecca Lowe: Building on parts of the green belt is essential to solving the housing crisis

Johnson’s latest column on the issue might avoid even mentioning it, but the debate is about how far we go, not whether we do it.

Rebecca Lowe: What does it really mean to ‘stand up for your principles’?

The phrase tends to get thrown around as if it means something undeniably and wholly positive, but it’s more complicated than that.

Rebecca Lowe: Why aren’t more politicians making the moral case for lower taxes?

We’re not only better than others at making choices about how to spend our own lives and money – it’s also extremely important for us to be able to do so.

Rebecca Lowe: Fight for the right to choose of the poor, the fat and, yes, the stupid

None of these qualities necessarily stop you wanting things, knowing what you enjoy, and being able to weigh up how to decide.

Laing becomes a dame and Jenkin is knighted

The two Conservative MPs have been included in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List.

Rebecca Lowe: Women’s attitudes to the Conservatives – and vice-versa – are not what you may think

There are clearly questions about what’s happening in relation to voting, membership, and representation — and what the Party should or might want to do.

Rebecca Lowe: The May portrait protests. Roll up the map on these Oxford geographers.

Claiming that there’s only one acceptable way of thinking about anything sets us rolling down a slippery slope towards destruction.

Rebecca Lowe: What Alfie Evans, an IVF-conceived child and the abortion pill all have in common

These concerns, however, often only add to the need for us to remain ethically and democratically engaged, particularly regarding the most emotive cases.

Rebecca Lowe: Gender pay, childcare, flexibility, robots – and the future of work

To my mind, once some kind of base fairness has been established, then it’s best to leave cultural transformations down to demand.
