Alex Morton: Without capitalism in capital markets, Corbyn wins

Lower interest rates and monetary manipulation have been presented as the solution to our economic woes. But increasingly they create them.

By Alex Morton | 4 April 2018 at 6:30 am | 49 comments

Simon Clarke: A greener City of London will outpace Paris and Frankfurt after Brexit

The Government should back the fastest growing sector of the economy, demand transparency and send clear policy signals.

By Simon Clarke | 4 April 2018 at 6:20 am | 43 comments

Our survey. Half of Tory members are satisfied with May’s transition deal. Almost two in five are dissatisfied.

That’s down from the seven in ten who backed the pre-Christmas EU agreement, but Downing Street may well think the finding could be a lot worse.

By Paul Goodman | 3 April 2018 at 7:00 am | 137 comments

Henry Newman: The unified reaction to the Skripal affair suggests talk of Britain’s ‘isolation’ was premature

To listen to some commentators a few weeks ago, you’d have thought it was only EU membership – not shared interests and values – that brings allies together.

By Henry Newman | 3 April 2018 at 6:45 am | 86 comments

Justine Greening: How to reform tuition fees and student debt – with a Higher Education Fund

The current system has brought benefits, but it can be improved upon. Getting it right will improve both equality of opportunity and fairness.

By Justine Greening MP | 3 April 2018 at 6:30 am | 38 comments

Low expectations could make the local election results seem like a Conservative triumph

UKIP’s decline will probably allow the three main parties to each claim an increased vote share. Afterwards, the Tories will still be the largest party in local government.

By Harry Phibbs | 2 April 2018 at 6:40 am | 127 comments

Rebecca Lowe: As Brexit looms in less than a year, here’s how to approach devolving power

To me, it is clear that the UK could benefit from greater decentralisation. But, to repeat, that does not mean that new arrangements must be introduced now.

By Rebecca Lowe | 2 April 2018 at 6:30 am | 38 comments

Chris Whitehouse: A solution to some of the problems of the long summer school holiday

Here on the Isle of Wight, in essence one week will be taken off the end of the summer holidays and added on to the autumn half term to give a two week break.

By Chris Whitehouse | 2 April 2018 at 6:20 am | 13 comments

Support for May leading the Conservatives into the next election hits its highest total yet

But more of our Party member respondents want her to leave Downing Street before the next election than don’t – as in every survey since last June.

By Paul Goodman | 1 April 2018 at 7:00 am | 136 comments

Robert Colvile: Our drive at the Centre for Policy Studies for new ideas for ownership

Our New Generation programme will be tasked with producing policies in areas that are of pressing concern to voters: tax, enterprise, housing, welfare.

By Robert Colvile | 1 April 2018 at 6:30 am | 46 comments

Twenty years on, the Belfast Agreement’s devolution model isn’t working

Evidence is mounting that the Assembly simply doesn’t – and perhaps can’t – deliver good government consistently. But the deal which founded it is treated as holy writ.

By Henry Hill | 31 March 2018 at 7:00 am | 154 comments

Dr Johnson is an inspiring companion at Easter

His profound sense of failure, and scorching humility, live on in his notes to himself in his Prayers and Meditations.

By Andrew Gimson | 30 March 2018 at 7:00 am | 18 comments

Jonathan Clark: How should we reform our tax system after Brexit?

In the post-leave springtime, it will be worth considering what would happen if all three were abolished and replaced by a single Turnover Tax.

By Jonathan Clark | 30 March 2018 at 6:20 am | 66 comments

Should new NHS spending be funded by a tax increase? Is Russia a threat to our security? The transition deal – good or bad?

Members of the ConservativeHome panel should find the monthly survey in their inboxes today.

By Paul Goodman | 29 March 2018 at 6:40 am | 75 comments

Andrea Leadsom: It’s a year today until Brexit. Let’s continue to proclaim that it will be good for Britain.

The evidence points to a thriving City, and so I will continue to talk up our financial sector as the best game in town.

By Andrea Leadsom | 29 March 2018 at 6:30 am | 295 comments
