Would ‘full expensing’ be worth a permanent hike in Corporation Tax?

The former will help to rebalance the economy and boost ‘levelling up’, but the latter will squeeze the foreign investment ‘global Britain’ needs.

By Henry Hill | 4 March 2021 at 4:00 pm

The Budget. Sunak’s strong message that operation “level up” is under way.

The Government got “Brexit done” – and now wants to deliver on its pledge to spread “opportunity across the whole United Kingdom”.

By Charlotte Gill | 4 March 2021 at 3:00 pm

Are Johnson and Sunak preparing the way for a snap election in 2023?

The Budget was, if truly honest, a sign that the Government shuns spending cuts and embraces tax rises – which is ultimately unsustainable.

Andrew Gimson’s Budget sketch: The Chancellor quotes Tennyson and delivers a lesson in levelling up

The Prime Minister listened supportively, but jiggled his right knee up and down in a manner suggestive of unbearable mental tension.

By Andrew Gimson | 3 March 2021 at 3:09 pm

“With one exception, those promoted in our intake have been women, ethnic minority members, or gay”

The troubled story of Conservative MPs, identity politics, fairness, looking like modern Britain – and a headache for Party managers.

By Paul Goodman | 3 March 2021 at 6:50 am

Britain’s music industry, the EU, the UK – and an early entry for Frost’s inbox

He is well-placed to knock on the doors of individual member states, as the Government and the Union lock horns over free movement.

By Paul Goodman | 2 March 2021 at 6:40 am

The Budget should be a big reset moment for post-Brexit, post-Covid Britain. It risks being lost amidst a rush to tax rises.

It will probe whether or or not Sunak can prepare the country for that future – and perhaps succeed Johnson himself, “one fine day”.

By Paul Goodman | 1 March 2021 at 6:40 am

“There had been suggestions by members of ‘Team Carrie’ that Mr Cummings was behind the hostile briefings against the dog.” Discuss.

Does this sentence say more about a) Dominic Cummings? b) Carrie Symonds? c) The media? d) The dog?

By Paul Goodman | 28 February 2021 at 2:10 pm

Our monthly survey will be postponed until after Wednesday’s Budget

Sunak’s scores have come in at exceptionally high levels. We will see what happens next as more conventional times approach.

By Paul Goodman | 28 February 2021 at 7:00 am

Will the Government meet its commitment to end rough sleeping during this Parliament?

Housing First is essential but not sufficient – if there are as many non-UK nationals sleeping on the streets post-Covid as before.

By Paul Goodman | 27 February 2021 at 7:00 am

The red white and blue archipelago: how localism can sustain the Union.

The final part in ConHome’s series this week on the future of the United Kingdom.

By Paul Goodman | 26 February 2021 at 6:40 am

The DfE has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at school reopenings. But the perennial problem is communication.

Up against the noisy unions, it’s struggled to convey the safety of schools compared to other environments.

By Charlotte Gill | 25 February 2021 at 5:00 pm

Comments are back online – with a new system

Thank you for bearing with us during recent days. We’re pleased to say there is now a solution.

By Mark Wallace | 25 February 2021 at 9:00 am

The Union policy Lewis wanted, why he left – and how his unit will be replaced by a Cabinet committee

All of this has not gone down well with many backbench Conservative MPs, few of whom would be well-disposed towards a more conciliatory strategy.

By Henry Hill | 25 February 2021 at 7:00 am

Andrew Gimson’s PMQs sketch: Kindly impale yourself on the sharpened stakes at the bottom of this hole

It is not good for the Commons for the Prime Minister to win such easy victories, and may not even be good for Johnson.
