Shabnam Nasimi: From refugee to Tory activist and campaigner. Why I am a Conservative.

I instinctively agreed with the Conservatives and their emphasis on hard work, enterprise, their belief in the One Nation, and their willingness to promote aspiration.

Andy Street: Anti-Muslim terror and anti-gay protests. The one thing we mustn’t tolerate is intolerance – wherever it comes from.

The New Zealand attack, the Birmingham school protests – and what we’re doing in the West Midlands to build cohesion and resilience.

The Conservatives and anti-Muslim prejudice. A role for the Extremism Commissioner.

Sara Khan should hold an investigation into racial and religious prejudice among all the main parties.

Why an updated treason law would help to boost community cohesion

One thinks of the need for such as a measure as justice-related and security-related. But it would also send a powerful signal.

“No-one voted for Brexit to become poorer.” Really? We vote to deny ourselves money all the time.

Security, cohesion, integration, solidarity: all are intangible. But we pay – literally – to gain them. Why single out self-government?

Exclusive. “In a timely manner”. The best part of six months on, the Party’s inquiry clears Johnson over his burka column.

Launched amidst the inevitable blaze of publicity, the decision has been smuggled out like the fabled thief in the night.

Nick Hargrave: Yes, I compiled an attack dossier on Johnson. But at best, there’s a real purpose to opposition research.

It works best when painting a substantive contrast on issues that voters care about. And here are four strategic choices for the Conservatives.

Alex Morton: The purpose of education is to give people skills for life. And we have lost sight of it.

The other reason why Ministers want ISIS terrorists on trial in America – not here

We suspect that they are alarmed by the prospect of the legal and publicity circus that a trial here might well bring with it.

Chris Skidmore: How the Conservative Party’s new Policy Commission will work

Five task forces cover energising our economy, transforming our public services, building a fairer society, sustaining our democracy and shaping a Global Britain.

An open letter to Sajid Javid

Here are five priorities. Sort out the extremism mess. Get an immigration policy move-on. Beef up your Windrush review. Don’t mess with ID cards. Or identity politics. Oh, and P.S…

Binita Mehta-Parmar: Javid has a crucial opportunity to improve the Government’s standing among BME voters

He is uniquely placed to start to rebuild trust – and that task is essential to our Party’s future.

Neil O’Brien: We Conservatives need to refresh ourselves to stop Corbyn. That’s why Onward is being launched.

Even in lefty France, socialist policies are now being dumped by Emmanuel Macron in favour of free markets. Now is the time to develop our next round of big ideas.

As May squares up to one security challenge, Cameron reminds us of another: Islamist extremism – and its wider dimensions.

In Washington, the former Prime Minister ponders how his approach to tackling non-violent as well as violent extremism can be built on.

Martin Parsons: Casey’s proposals were an attack on religious freedom. Javid was right to bin them.

The Green Paper isn’t perfect, but the Communities Secretary is right to reject oaths of office and an excessively broad definition of ‘extremism’.
