Sheila Lawlor: Ultimately, as the EU’s leaders recognise, the momentum is with Johnson

The big prize will be that the UK’s economic and trade freedom will be restored, something May’s backstop would have prevented, potentially indefinitely.

Andrew Sharpe: Progressive Conservative Reformers 5) We must mine our history to inform our present and dominate our future

If we lack the self-confidence to defend our achievements, how do we seriously expect to be able take the fight to our opponents?

Progressive Conservative reformers 4) Disraeli – and his first and only full term of government

When he declared that “the first consideration of a minister should be the health of the people”, he was beginning to map out an election-winning mass appeal. 

Progressive Conservative reformers 3) Thatcher – and the sale of council houses to their tenants

How better to follow Jeremy Corbyn’s speech yesterday than by citing a signature Tory policy that shifted wealth to “working people and their families”?

The never-ending story of progressive Conservative change

Walking away will neither avoid a Jeremy Corbyn government or make Boris Johnson govern as a liberal Tory.

Sunder Katwala: What Onward’s new report really tells us about the prospects of a post-liberal conservatism

Osborne – Brexit’s saviour?

The Fixed Terms Parliament Act may pave the way to delivering Brexit by October 31. And for that, we can thank…

Sheila Lawlor: Johnson, like Churchill, must seize the chance to “walk with destiny”

In so doing, he has the opportunity not only to deliver Brexit, serve his country – and make history.

Richard Kelly: A lesson from May’s departure – and from history. So often, it’s Tory activists, not MPs, who bring down their leader.

Yesterday’s emergency National Convention meeting was a reminder of the influence and power of the grassroots.

George Freeman: Our new book. In which forty Tory MPs band together to help revive conservatism.

Britain Beyond Brexit, a New Conservative Vision for a New Generation, is published today by the CPS.
