Peter Ainsworth: To solve the problems of higher education funding, universities themselves must share some of the risk

All the risks of the regime fall presently to students and taxpayers. Not only is this unfair and morally questionable, but it leads directly to undesirable outcomes.

By Peter Ainsworth | 26 February 2018 at 6:20 am | 35 comments

Having confidence in leaving the Customs Union

May should not shirk from seeking an election over her manifesto pledge to leave it. But we are not there yet – not nearly.

By Paul Goodman | 25 February 2018 at 7:00 am | 298 comments

Richard Ritchie: The deeper reason for the hostility to a Powell plaque in Wolverhampton

When a ‘right-wing’ politician is nominated for a plaque, it is almost bound to be controversial with ‘the left’. Tories are much more generous.

By Richard Ritchie | 25 February 2018 at 6:30 am | 222 comments

Terry Barnes: How Australia’s answer to Johnson may have just sunk the centre-right

A colourful, entertaining, and apparently Teflon-coated Deputy Prime Minister falls foul of a change in political culture.

By Terry Barnes | 24 February 2018 at 1:00 pm | 22 comments

Stephen Hammond: Why I will be tabling amendments to the Trade Bill to explore joining EFTA

To shut off consideration of realistic and achievable ways of supporting the Government’s Brexit objectives would be irresponsible.

By Stephen Hammond MP | 24 February 2018 at 6:30 am | 291 comments

Stephen Metcalfe: How we can help find the young engineers Britain needs

This crucial sector already has an annual demand of 124,000 new skilled workers, and this will only grow as new technologies create new jobs.

By Stephen Metcalfe | 23 February 2018 at 3:00 pm | 70 comments

Edward Nyman: A five-point plan for engaging young British voters

We must find our identity in modern Britain; break away from obstructive stereotypes; source authentic leaders who connect with voters; become the party of opportunity; and never style ourselves as an alternative to “chaos”.

By Edward Nyman | 23 February 2018 at 6:20 am | 38 comments

Richard Graham: It’s time the Government backed the Swansea Tidal Lagoon

This development not only offers a welcome boost for Wales, but will help to foster the UK’s position as a world leader in green energy.

By Richard Graham MP | 22 February 2018 at 12:30 pm | 35 comments

Resham Kotecha: The drastic action that the Conservatives must take to address racial inequality

From housing to university access, from the criminal justice system to the House of Commons, ethnic minority communities desire and deserve a fairer deal.

By Resham Kotecha | 22 February 2018 at 6:30 am | 105 comments

Graham Gudgin: The EU report which confirms that the Irish Border issue can be resolved with technology

The report suggests that electronic border controls are feasible, and recommends a set of best practice arrangements based on existing arrangements.

By Dr Graham Gudgin | 21 February 2018 at 4:30 pm | 58 comments

Albie Amankona: We need a real National Health Service – to make healthy living easy and unhealthy living difficult.

There needs to be a paradigm shift in policy and culture. Our state should work to keep us healthy and allow us as individuals to be responsible for our actions.

By Albie Amankona | 21 February 2018 at 6:20 am | 22 comments

Maria Miller: British expats deserve a lifelong right to vote – scrapping the 15-year limit is long overdue

A century on from the granting of Votes for Women we should honour our manifesto pledge to deliver Votes for Life. A new Private Member’s Bill offers the opportunity.

By Maria Miller MP | 20 February 2018 at 6:20 am | 60 comments

Peter Thompson: The inconsistencies, contortions and self-contradictions of the case for votes at 16

On what basis would they then be prevented from appearing in pornography? Should they then not be tried as adults and sent to adult prisons? And so on.

By Peter G Thompson | 19 February 2018 at 3:00 pm | 42 comments

Alexander Temerko: Why Williamson is right to seek higher defence spending

After years of defence cuts and maybe more to come, we must ask whether the Armed Forces are properly equipped to keep Britain safe.

By Alexander Temerko | 19 February 2018 at 6:20 am | 74 comments

Gisela Stuart: This is a crucial moment for May and her government. There must be no backsliding on a clean Brexit.

Any deal that leaves the UK aligned with EU rules or which deprives us of control over our trading future would not be honouring the referendum result.

By Gisela Stuart | 18 February 2018 at 6:30 am | 381 comments
