Sam Gyimah: The time to develop a bright vision for post-Brexit social reform is right now

We must follow the example of Beveridge, Butler and Willink.

Dan Boucher: There should be Conservative/Mutual MPs, as well as Labour/Co-Op MPs

The centenary of the Co-operative Party challenges us to re-assert the link between conservatism and the mutual economic model.

Alexander Temerko: The Conservative Party needs reform from top to bottom

Party members should elect our next Chairman and other key figures. Through this process, we will be able to identify talented candidates and platforms.

George Maggs: Conservatives must inculcate national pride in the younger generation

Pride in British history and institutions is an essential source of social cohesion in an increasingly diverse society.

John Stevenson: Let’s have a Brexit settlement that all can live with – by joining EFTA

It would be the easiest, least disruptive, and most productive way for this country to genuinely leave the EU until we have a bespoke UK-EU deal.

Kathleen Leslie: The SNP is to blame for the shortage of Scottish teachers

Chaotic implementation of a new curriculum and politicised, bureaucratic systems of inspection and regulation have caused dismay.

Richard Short: Student loans – change the title, change the narrative

We need to look at the write-off threshold more than the repayment threshold or bottom line fees to make a difference that young graduates can relate to.

John Baron: Trump’s Iran decision has an alarming North Korean dimension

De-certification of nuclear agreement could lead world leaders to conclude that such deals with the United States are not worth the candle.

Dan Dolan: Britain’s secretive assistance to abusive foreign security forces must end

If the Government is serious about having this country be a ‘moral leader’, it must be more transparent about dealings which may compromise our values.

Stuart Jackson: Why it’s time for a relative energy price cap

It would achieve real competition, incentivise efficiency and bring prices down for the majority (companies would be forced to compete for new customers or wither fast).

Benjamin Mancroft: Deregulating charity lotteries can be a winning ticket

This simple step would provide a huge boost to services which help the most vulnerable, at no cost to the taxpayer and with no risk to the National Lottery.

Nicolas Clark: Society and government must do more for our veterans

Failing to help them transition to civilian life is not only a betrayal of those who serve, but a huge waste of their skills and expertise.

Jack Lopresti: Britain must support our friends in Kurdistan

Iraq may be a voluntary union in theory, but in practice it is sectarian, over-centralised, and coercive.

Charlie Elphicke: Ensuring we are Ready on Day One for any Brexit scenario is the smart thing to do

Why wouldn’t we want to have world class customs systems, cutting edge digital border controls and resilient road infrastructure?

James Arnell: Hammond must spend by December at the latest if we are to be ready for No Deal.

The truth is that any money committed now will return multiples of cost in a reduced price for an agreement with the EU.
