Robert Halfon: A local Labour candidate has organised a petition against an army cadet course. Not quite the people’s priorities.

Plus: Is it really a bad thing if more work from home? And: It’s time to acknowledge private workers’ contributions in the Covid crisis.

By Robert Halfon MP | 5 May 2021 at 6:30 am

Emily Carver: To bolster free speech in universities, we need laws taken off the statute book, rather than added to it

The Government should instead look into reviewing the Equality Act, which makes these institutions subject to its harassment provision.

By Emily Carver | 5 May 2021 at 6:30 am

Our survey. A majority believes that Cummings was an asset to the Party – but doesn’t regret his departure

Roughly 70 per cent hold both views – a measure of their high view of Cummings’ abilities…and their ultimate loyalty to the Prime Minister.

Why you should vote Conservative in the local elections on Thursday

Labour councils hurt the poor the most. It is the Conservatives who offer practical improvements.

By Harry Phibbs | 4 May 2021 at 6:40 am

David Skelton: Yes, social mobility is important. But jobs in the professions aren’t the only ones that matter.

The first of two pieces on ConHome this week on social mobility. How much does it matter and is it in decline?

By David Skelton | 4 May 2021 at 6:30 am

Robert Buckland: More prison places, a domestic abuse bill, tougher sentences. How we’re acting on the people’s priorities.

We controlled Covid in our prisons, kept the courts running throughout lockdown, and were the first in the western world to resume jury trials.

By Robert Buckland MP | 4 May 2021 at 6:20 am

Sorry, Matthew, but there’s a Centre Party already – Johnson’s Conservatives

The centre isn’t where he or ConservativeHome or anyone else wants it to be. It’s where it is – “Far From Notting Hill”.

By Paul Goodman | 3 May 2021 at 6:40 am

Chris White: Will next week’s Queen’s Speech presage an early general election?

The possibilities that could follow from the repeal of the Fixed Terms Parliament Act – and the signs to look out for.

By Chris White | 3 May 2021 at 6:30 am

Neil O’Brien: The demographic challenge – not of rising but of falling population

The U.K. birth rate has fallen back to near record lows – so perhaps some of the same debates will come here as we try to cope with our ageing society.

By Neil O Brien MP | 3 May 2021 at 6:20 am

ConHome’s Cabinet League Table. Johnson’s rating falls by almost 30 points into the bottom third.

Truss is still top and there’s little movement elsewhere. Which suggests that the Prime Minister’s drop has been driven by the Downing Street flat row.

By Paul Goodman | 2 May 2021 at 7:00 am

Jonathan Gullis: How the curriculum should be broadened during the early years of secondary education

At this time, during Key Stage 3, we should introduce the practical skills that will set up our children for life beyond the classroom.

By Jonathan Gullis MP | 2 May 2021 at 6:30 am

Our survey. Seven in ten of our panel believe that money raised by activists shouldn’t help fund the leader’s private costs.

We read this less as a slap across the wrist for the Prime Minister than as an uncompromising statement of principle.

By Paul Goodman | 1 May 2021 at 7:00 am

Sarah Ingham: Could we hear less of Symonds, please? And more from Conservative Ministers.

If anything is ‘dunked in 1950s sexism’, in Zac Goldsmith’s memorable tweet, it is the outdated concept of the First Lord of the Treasury’s plus-one.

By Dr Sarah Ingham | 1 May 2021 at 6:45 am

Noises off: The Duncan Diaries are more amusing, and more valuable, than one might have expected.

His remarks about Johnson demonstrate the latter’s remarkable capacity to win round, even impress, critics who have lost all patience with him.

By Andrew Gimson | 1 May 2021 at 6:30 am

The first North Koreans to stand as Conservative candidates help vindicate our democracy

The harrowing personal story of Jihyun Park, followed by her selection as a Tory candidate in Bury, puts current political obsessions in perspective.
