WATCH: Rudd’s Conference speech

“What terrorists want is for us to fear, to turn away from each other, and to become divided. We will not. We will stay united, together. Because this is our Britain not theirs.”

Sketch: Rudd supports “distinguished” May over Johnson

No experiments! That is the reassuring message out of Manchester.

Building a safer Britain: Rudd’s speech in full

“We need to disrupt plots in their early stages. Many such plots will include some element of online radicalisation.”

Johnson leads our Next Tory Leader category…but makes no progress in our Cabinet League Table. The reason? He divides opinion.

Davis, Gove, and Fallon make up the top three again, but satisfaction levels overall are low. And Davidson is out-polling every Cabinet member.

He’s back! From his lowest total ever, Johnson springs to the top of our Next Tory Leader survey

“Other” is second, Rees-Mogg third, and Davis fourth. The shape of the results is very similar to that of a recent YouGov poll.

Iain Dale’s 100 most influential people on the Right 2017. May tops it. Davis is second. And Davidson third.

Who would have predicted that Gavin Barwell, having lost his seat and ministerial position, would climb 63 places to number seven?

Will the Government be Ready on Day One for Brexit? If it isn’t, it could collapse altogether.

WATCH: Rudd – “I don’t want Boris Johnson managing the Brexit process”

“Theresa May is driving the car, to continue the allegory – and I’m going to make sure that we all help her do that.”

While London is experiencing the greatest demand for housing, the prospect of building in the capital is fraught with political risk.

May returns to a positive score in our Cabinet League Table

Members seem to agree that the Prime Minister has staged a mild recovery over the summer.

Our survey. Next Tory leader. “None of the above” leads the field. Many party members want to skip a generation.

Davis leads with less than a fifth of the vote. Johnson is on his lowest total ever. And if one counts write-ins, in second place is…Rees-Mogg.

Hammond takes a hammering in our latest Cabinet League Table

Rudd falls with him, May is almost out of negative territory…and Davidson continues to soar up, up and away.

To find out why people value WhatsApp encryption, Rudd should talk to her own colleagues

The Home Office has somewhat improved its position, but still seems to think the will of a minister can overcome the laws of mathematics.

ConservativeHome’s new monthly survey is out

We now have eleven runners and riders in our Next Tory Leader section…with another 15 candidates standing by. Watch this space.

Rudd must be seen to listen to all sides, not just business, on immigration
