Peter Lilley: The Prime Minister – a modern-day Queen Canute

Contrary to myth, the wise king was demonstrating what was beyond his powers. May has done the same – demonstrating gradually that a Canada Deal or No Deal are the only practicable options.

By Peter Lilley | 28 September 2018 at 6:30 am | 110 comments

Jade Smith: The Mighty Redcar – my town, let down by the Labour Party

We haven’t had it easy, but we are resilient and resourceful. Our appetite for change is bad news for the party that took us for granted.

By Jade Smith | 27 September 2018 at 5:15 pm | 8 comments

Alistair Lexden: Commemorating Baldwin, the Prime Minister who pioneered ‘One Nation’

The Conservative Party’s official historian was speaking at the unveiling of a new statue to the former Party leader in his home town of Bewdley today.

By Lord Lexden | 27 September 2018 at 5:00 pm | 14 comments

David Shiels: Brexit, Northern Ireland, and borders. Why the DUP may yet break ranks with May – and force a general election

The issue of the backstop is becoming more heated and harder to navigate as time goes by.

By David Shiels | 27 September 2018 at 6:20 am | 90 comments

Andrew Thorpe-Apps: The noble cause of feminism has descended into farcical man-hate

It’s no longer about changes to bring equality; it is about taking revenge against mankind for historic wrongs. #manmustfall may be on us sooner than we think.

By Andrew Thorpe-Apps | 26 September 2018 at 6:20 am | 36 comments

Damian Hinds: Schools policy. Memo to Labour: going backwards isn’t progressive

Rayner’s new proposals would mean that the progress we have seen over the last eight years would be sacrificed – and it is our kids that would pay the price.

By Damian Hinds | 25 September 2018 at 9:01 am | 17 comments

Andrew Selous: Our belief in free markets does not mean that we will fail to call out abuse where we see it

A commitment to social justice has always been at the heart of conservatism. Now we need to do more to support families, health and relationships.

By Andrew Selous MP | 25 September 2018 at 6:20 am | 24 comments

Mark Lehain: Rayner says Labour will reject Gove’s school reforms – but what would they establish in their place?

Families and teachers deserve some details on what is being proposed in place of free schools and academies.

By Mark Lehain | 24 September 2018 at 6:13 pm | 24 comments

Chris Skidmore: How the Conservative Policy Commission will play its part in drawing up the next general election manifesto

I hope this work, which entails listening to party members, communities and businesses, will help to shape the future thinking of the Party.

By Chris Skidmore MP | 24 September 2018 at 10:00 am | 24 comments

Victoria Hewson: Our new Brexit plan for a free trade agreement – complete with a solution to the backstop

The UK should be playing chess on multiple chess boards, with a strategy to advance the priorities in each. Progress in one arena reinforces the others.

By Victoria Hewson | 24 September 2018 at 9:00 am | 121 comments

Alex Hedger: Corbyn sells the pass on a second Scottish referendum. And the Coalition of Chaos stirs in its unquiet grave.

The Labour leader is ready to bargain his way to power by bidding for the support of the SNP in the event of a hung Parliament.

By Alex Hedger | 24 September 2018 at 6:20 am | 25 comments

Liz Truss: As Labour’s Conference opens, think long and hard about the damage they would wreak on jobs, wages and tax

They want to bring down the system of free enterprise, and replace it with a committee of Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott telling us how we should live our lives.

By Liz Truss MP | 23 September 2018 at 6:30 am | 114 comments

Jack Brereton: It isn’t too late to save the railway from the disaster of re-nationalisation

It’s time for honesty about the limitations of the current franchise model, and a full independent look at promoting enterprise, competition and innovation.

By Jack Brereton MP | 22 September 2018 at 12:00 pm | 30 comments

Andrew Murrison: After Salzburg, the EU needs a reality check on its security plans. Urgently.

I wouldn’t want to be the politician who has to explain why the purity of EU institutions came before cooperation that could have prevented a security incident.

By Dr Andrew Murrison | 22 September 2018 at 6:45 am | 92 comments

Alok Sharma: Go to jobcentres, listen to claimants and staff – and you’ll hear the case for Universal Credit loud and clear

The legacy benefits system is a mix of six benefits, has three cliff-edges – and punishes extra hours. It lets people down and holds them back.

By Alok Sharma MP | 21 September 2018 at 6:20 am | 19 comments
