Duffield and Labour’s internal tensions over trans rights. Will Starmer intervene?

Judging my his past behaviour, probably not. And with the Conservatives in disarray, he has no incentive to make a strong statement either way.

Gary Powell: No Conservative council leader should lambast a female Labour MP for defending women’s sex-based rights.

Socially destructive lobby groups are undermining freedom of expression. We should support those brave enough to resist such threats.

Alex Morton: Ministers can have more houses or higher immigration. But they won’t be able to get away with both.

Annual net migration currently suggests 55,000 more homes a year since the 2014 projections – more than the entire rise planned after the housing row.

Amanda Milling: The Boundary Review will strengthen our democracy by ensuring that every vote counts the same

Without the changes to the boundaries, by the time of the next election this data would be a quarter of a century out of date.

Rama Thirunamachandran: Modern universities and their graduates are a necessity, not a luxury, in a post-Covid Britain

These institutions play a vital role – despite what commentators, and sometimes politicians, say.

If the Government won’t force the Tory shires to build more houses, perhaps it should bribe them instead

It’s time to stop pretending there is any way to solve the shortage without building in the South and face up to what it will take to get that done.

Anna Firth: We need a plan to regain the university seats, and win over the students who flocked to Corbyn

We won the election but suffered badly in places like Canterbury, which I contested.

Greig Baker: In Canterbury, our Conservative candidate is already delivering on local issues

Anna Firth has had the Rail Minister down to sort the trains and has collared the Prime Minister about getting a new hospital.

Election Battlegrounds 7) South East

The Tories are targeting Labour-held seats and the Liberal Democrats Tory-held ones, whilst Labour’s possible gains are probably out of reach.

The campaign, week two. “Small earthquake in Chile. Not many dead.”

Farage’s decision to stand down some Brexit Party candidates seems to have been the most impactful development of this election week.

The four finalists for the Canterbury Conservative candidate selection

Four female candidates contest tonight’s selection meeting for this very marginal seat – without any need for an all-women quota.

Dean Godson: There are plenty of ideas on the centre-right. Here’s how it can create a new, decent, patriotric consensus.

Despite polarisation on Brexit, there is more agreement among voters than often appears – and therefore more cause for optimism.

Citizens of nowhere? Or citizens of somewhere? Who should the Conservatives be targeting? Our joint event with Policy Exchange.

With Lynton Crosby, Andrew Feldman, Ben Houchen and Amber Rudd – on June 18, livestreamed on this site.

The Australian Liberals know who their target voters are. The Conservatives don’t seem to have a clue.
