Anand Menon and Matt Bevington: Will Johnson really be able to level up?

Our research with low-income voters in some of these areas revealed that many are not expecting miracles. They simply want better local services.

By Professor Anand Menon and Matt Bevington | 30 November 2020 | 30 comments

LISTEN: Blue Collar Conservatives’ first podcast. Is the age of the entrepreneur over?

The first of the group’s online conservations probes the implications of the Coronavirus for Britain’s business culture.

3 April 2020 | 27 comments

“Seriously concerning.” “A Gordon Brown-style budget”. Centre-right think tanks resist the Budget’s main platform.

But some free marketeers are concerned about the huge borrowing rise and the reliance on “bureaucrats picking winners.”

By Harry Phibbs | 11 March 2020 | 53 comments

Eddie Hughes: Our values must drive CCHQ. That means moving it to a town or small city – not a big one.

Going from the metropolitan bubble in London to another one elsewhere would be pointless. What about Derby, Stoke or York instead?

By Eddie Hughes MP | 17 January 2020 | 33 comments

Eddie Hughes: Yes, let’s move CCHQ resources to the regions. But do so authentically.

If we really are becoming the Party of Blue Collar Conservatives, our Party must become the change that we want to see.

By Eddie Hughes MP | 11 January 2020 | 58 comments

As of last week, the Tories are Britain’s working-class party

The Prime Minister’s victory is on the same scale as Thatcher’s, but of a different kind. The implications of that could be huge.

By Henry Hill | 18 December 2019 | 112 comments

Ben Bradley: Voters tore down the Red Wall because they were sick of Labour talking down to them and holding them back

That doesn’t mean they are all suddenly hardcore Tories. For many we were the least-worst option. But we have an opportunity to win their trust.

By Ben Bradley MP | 17 December 2019 | 20 comments

Clark Vasey: Workington Man could make the dream of a Northern county without a single Labour seat a reality

Boris Johnson is already appealing to Blue Collar voters who are fed up with Labour’s betrayal of Brexit and the values of working people.

By Clark Vasey | 31 October 2019 | 40 comments

Tom Tugendhat: The last two men left standing in this contest must resist the temptation to slug it out

While there is no shortage of ideas, there has been a shortage of leadership. We need a Prime Minister who will take us through Brexit and confront the challenges beyond.

By Tom Tugendhat | 13 July 2019 | 21 comments

Clark Vasey: Only Johnson can deliver Blue Collar Conservatism

He is the only candidate who can further the work of the project to which Esther McVey and I are so committed.

By Clark Vasey | 10 July 2019 | 37 comments

Pauline Latham: Why I am voting for McVey

Esther is one of the rare politicians I’ve met who is able to communicate authentically with voters in all parts of the country.

By Pauline Latham MP | 4 June 2019 | 90 comments

Clark Vasey: Welcome to the Blue Collar Conservatism relaunch

Esther McVey with the support of MPs from across the party is refreshing and renewing the project.

By Clark Vasey | 1 April 2019 | 52 comments

Spencer Pitfield: Should the real battle with trade unions be over political affiliation?

The days are long gone when union leaders could do a good job for their members, while funding and influencing a political party.

By Spencer Pitfield | 15 January 2017 | 21 comments

David Nuttall: Our candidate in Copeland must be Cumbrian – and a Leave supporter

The by-election is a huge opportunity for our party. We should select someone equipped to pick up crucial votes from Labour and UKIP.

By David Nuttall MP | 3 January 2017 | 41 comments

“Change has got to come.” May’s Conference speech: full text
