Sorry, Matthew, but there’s a Centre Party already – Johnson’s Conservatives

The centre isn’t where he or ConservativeHome or anyone else wants it to be. It’s where it is – “Far From Notting Hill”.

By Paul Goodman | 3 May 2021

Dean Godson: It’s easier for the right to move left on economics than for the left to move right on culture. That’s a plus for Johnson.

The sixth piece in a ConHome series this week on the Prime Minister’s Reset Moment – and what should follow from it.

The Conservatives should watch for a rival to their right

That was the norm of the past ten years, in the form of Farage’s parties. There’s no reason to assume that a new challenger won’t emerge.

Sunak’s measures: What do they look like, where’s the money coming from – and how do they compare to other countries’?

While the Chancellor’s recovery measures look drastic, they are “middle of the pack” when compared to others in the world.

By Charlotte Gill | 9 July 2020 | 71 comments

Anand Menon: Our latest research finds that the Conservatives are divided on economics, but united on culture.

The Tories have an interest in a focus on values. Reports suggest that some in Downing Street are encouraging Johnson to launch a ‘war on woke’.

Philip Booth: Coronavirus is no excuse for surrendering to the Left on economics

Unfortunately, the crisis we face will lead to decisions having to be made which will be more difficult than those taken in 2010.

By Philip Booth | 19 June 2020 | 118 comments

Ray O’Rourke: A technological revolution is underway in construction. Here’s how the Government can speed it up.

A new approach has allowed building work to take place offsite, leading to gains in productivity and creating long-term, well-paid jobs.

By Ray O’Rourke | 8 June 2020 | 10 comments

This really is the time to let the deficit grow big enough to look after itself

If, that is, interest rates carry on at rock bottom rates. But we have to take a chance on growing our way out of this crisis.

By Paul Goodman | 15 May 2020 | 110 comments

Sam Robinson: How can the UK pay off its Coronavirus bill? A carbon tax and reformed wealth taxes would help.

The Government has to generate revenue quickly, but austerity and spending cuts are not viable options.

By Sam Robinson | 14 May 2020 | 208 comments

Imagine a Cabinet Minister claiming that the Government is “guided by the economics”

The decision that Boris Johnson must make after his return this week is and can only be political – not scientific.

By Paul Goodman | 26 April 2020 | 205 comments

WATCH: Sunak declares that “we will do whatever it takes.” The Government’s Coronavirus press conference.

“We must act like any war time government, and do whatever it takes to support our economy.”

Ryan Bourne: Five myths about the Labour manifesto

Who will their taxes really hit? How much will they truly raise? And can this really be described as a ‘moderate’ agenda?

By Ryan Bourne | 27 November 2019 | 18 comments

The Labour manifesto: “incredible”/”simply not credible”, “fully costed”/not fully costed

Their manifesto doesn’t provide any costings for their most expensive plans. The IFS says their tax pledge is not believable. But will they get away with it?

By Mark Wallace | 21 November 2019 | 97 comments

McDonnell’s promise of a four-day working week with no loss of pay is an attempt to defy economic gravity

The workers being promised fewer hours for the same money would also have to fund huge increases in the cost of public services.

By Mark Wallace | 23 September 2019 | 78 comments

WATCH: Javid – “No department will be cut next year…that’s what I mean by the end of austerity”

“Britain’s hard work has paid off,” the Chancellor told the Commons.
