John Bald: Labour’s education policy of hiding failings by abolishing tests and independent inspection is the way of the ostrich

But there remains important unfinished business for the Conservatives to carry out – if we get the opportunity.

Roderick Crawford: Will you really trust Corbyn to control what you can see and do on your mobile and laptop?

Labour’s broadband policy is not about investment in infrastructure, but about a revolution in content to shape our collective political culture.

Barney White-Spunner: The post-election six months that will shape the future for our fishermen.

Under the Prime Minister’s Brexit deal, long-term decisions will have to be made to a tight timetable.

Lord Ashcroft: Would victories for Johnson and Trump herald the triumph of conservatism?

My research suggests that parties of the centre-right should be cautious about mistaking transactional voter support for deeper allegiance.

John O’Connell: The tax choice ahead. Johnson, and the highest burden since Attlee. Or Corbyn, and…the highest ever.

James Cleverly: We need one last push, with your help, to deliver Brexit, stop Corbyn – and win

Each week, our panel of James Frayne, Marcus Roberts, Trevor Phillips, and Salma Shah will will analyse and assess what’s happening.

Lord Ashcroft: “A craven opportunist”; “She’s a bit militant”; “I want it over and done with” – my final round of election focus groups

We visit Bishop Auckland, Warwick and Leamington, and Wimbledon. And ask: which actors would the interviewees cast in ‘Election 2019: The Movie’?

Steve Baker: Five tips for new Conservative MPs

In 2010, Eric Pickles gave my intake the benefit of his experience. Now, in turn, I offer a few lessons I’ve picked up.

Anne Fennell: Why are the Conservatives, like the other main parties, against choice for families?

All these ‘family friendly policies’ are offered to mothers only if they agree to hand over care of their children to external settings and get out of the home.

Neil Shastri-Hurst: NATO’s problems today include three Presidents…and a prospective Prime Minister

Trump, Erdogan and Macron all pose difficulties for the alliance. Corbyn in Downing Street would pose deeper and more dangerous ones.

Mark Francois: I urge Leavers to vote Tory – so gaining Brexit, preparing for free trade and smashing Marxism. All at once.
