Nicky Morgan: This contest must be about much more than Brexit

Any candidate who focuses solely on leaving the EU will hit a brick wall with the Parliamentary Party.

Iain Dale: How will May cope with being written up as the worst Prime Minister in modern history?

Plus: My interviews with the Conservative leadership candidates – and, no, I haven’t a clue who will win.

Henry Hill: Leadership hopefuls queue up to disavow second referendum on Scottish independence

Also: Welsh and Scottish Labour throw their weight behind EU referendum re-run after poll drubbing; UUP and Sinn Fein leaders in trouble.

Rachel Wolf: Would-be Prime Ministers should be wary of the long-term cost of short-term policy pledges

Campaigning through policy might be effective, but each promise made by a leadership candidate with little time for thought or research is a hostage to fortune.

Daniel Hannan: The Tory Catch 22. We can’t face an election before Brexit. But we may not get Brexit without an election.

The first-past-the-post system is capricious. It protects you until all of sudden, it eliminates you. Ask Scottish Labour.

James Frayne: The five essential tests to weigh up Conservative leadership candidates

Plus a sixth, less formal, question: are they ridiculous?

So in short, talk up the country, listen to the ‘somewheres’ outside the Westminster bubble – and cut taxes.

In both countries, the votes of both Labour and especially the Conservatives have been squeezed between the Brexiteers and the separatists.

Garvan Walshe: How Strache and Farage use socialist techniques to con Tories

They’ve taken the central political technique of this form of populism — promising to spend other people’s money — and privatised it.

Robert Halfon: Our justice system is failing the survivors of sexual assault

My Harlow constituent described her life as having been served a “lifetime sentence” of psychological and emotional torment.

Nicky Morgan: Our country needs One Nation Toryism more than ever. And we will measure leadership candidates against its ideals.

I am clear that if the Party decides to focus its appeal mainly towards Brexit Party supporters, our demise will be swift.

Iain Dale: God help the UK Conservatives (so to speak) if they become religious fanatics – like the American Republicans.

Plus: The good and bad sides of Twitter – all in my week. How it may have helped to save a life. But also saw me slagged off for something I didn’t say.
