By Paul Goodman | 25 May 2018 | 141 comments

John Glen: How the Government is cracking down on loan sharks

As Conservatives, we have a duty to protect and defend people who have historically been left without access to legal credit.

By John Glen MP | 25 April 2018 | 16 comments

Whatever happened to the Big Society? 1) Steve Moore: It could have worked had spending been cut Canada-Style

Nicky Morgan: It’s too soon to abandon fiscal discipline, but the Spring Statement is a chance to communicate our vision

Day-to-day spending being brought back into balance is good news, and it makes some spending decisions easier, but beware hype about the ‘end of austerity’.

By David Willetts | 8 February 2018 | 67 comments

John Penrose: Why we need a Sovereign Wealth Fund

Economically, it could be transformational, as it has been in Norway, which established its fund back in the early 1990s. It is now worth over a trillion dollars.

By John Penrose MP | 8 December 2017 | 29 comments
