James Frayne: Covid-10. Seven action points for Ministers – as pressure rises on the Government

Forget the polls. Be honest about risk. Understand the English. Use scientists less. Deploy Sunak more. Drop the technical language and work with others.

By James Frayne | 29 September 2020 | 39 comments

Neil O’Brien: Johnson should instruct a team of Ministers to wage war on woke

The future was that we would be colour-blind.  Instead, wokeism tells us we should see each other as members of different races. 

By Neil O Brien MP | 21 September 2020 | 87 comments

What could give the Government a sense of purpose – and chances to achieve? Making Gove Deputy Prime Minister.

Johnson needs a Simon Milton figure in government. The move would be controversial, to put it mildly. But who else is there?

Why the obsessive focus on new tax rises when we need proper spending control – in the form of a real zero-based review?

The Treasury should hold one as the year rolls on, along the lines of that undertaken by Canada’s government during the 1990s.

James Frayne: Big tax rises would make Tory campaigning impossible – in Red Wall seats as well as traditionally blue ones

The public would catch up when growth slowed and redundancies rose. It would become clear that raising taxes on employers doesn’t help anyone.

TONIGHT: ConservativeHome Live – in conversation with Matthew Elliott

Hear from the former chief executive of Vote Leave and co-founder of the TaxPayers’ Alliance about Brexit, the fiscal crisis and forthcoming political battles.

By Mark Wallace | 12 August 2020 | 27 comments

Why Johnson feels he can ignore his right-wing critics. And how he is backed by a dog that isn’t barking: Conservative MPs.

The political logic of the Prime Minister’s choice is solid enough. But we’re past the stage where his Sunday statement can simply be taken on trust.

By Paul Goodman | 8 May 2020 | 253 comments

Chris Bullivant: If free market and social conservatives find common ground, they could be unstoppable

The schism between between Tory Eurosceptics and Europhiles has been overcome; now another divide must be healed.

By Chris Bullivant | 21 February 2020 | 57 comments

Rachel Wolf: My top tip for Labour leadership candidates – parties can’t win everywhere, and shouldn’t try

Try to please everyone and you end up pleasing nobody. Even Lisa Nandy, who seems more alert than most of her rivals, has fallen into this trap.

By Rachel Wolf | 23 January 2020 | 30 comments

Robert Halfon: Only the paranoid survive – especially in the world of Conservative politics

I have lost count as to how many Tories I have recently met who assume that we will be in power for the next ten to fifteen years. That worries me.

By Robert Halfon MP | 15 January 2020 | 24 comments

Alex Morton: Johnson’s electoral success rests on helping people move from renting to owning their home

Housing played a small role in the 2019 election, but the first piece in a new mini-series notes that home ownership is the key driver of voter behaviour.

By Alex Morton | 14 January 2020 | 63 comments

Andy Maciver: Johnson must change the Scottish Conservatives’ policy on a second independence referendum

He will be the Prime Minister who will either lose Scotland, or kill nationalism. There is no longer any in-between option.

By Andy Maciver | 17 December 2019 | 62 comments

The Conservatives must resist any temptation to get greedy in which seats they target

At the last election strong early poll leads seduced them into shifting resources from marginals into far more hostile territory, with disastrous results.

By Mark Wallace | 28 November 2019 | 77 comments

Sunder Katwala: Childcare, not Kashmir. Neither Narendra Modi nor Imran Khan are candidates in this election.

Treat claims of a communalist election with suspicion. The evidence suggests that ethnic minority voters prioritise domestic issues over foreign policy ones.

By Sunder Katwala | 15 November 2019 | 6 comments

Jeremy Hunt: Progressive Conservatives have no cause for concern – this is not a pact with Farage

There has been no agreement between the two parties. And the whole thrust of our campaign is to colonise the centre ground, not retreat from it.

By Jeremy Hunt | 12 November 2019 | 161 comments
