Posts Tagged: Esther McVey MP

There’s no majority in this Commons for anything. This Conservative contest is faltering because candidates won’t face that fact.

None are willing to admit that an election is likely, and set out how on earth they would win it with Brexit undelivered.

Rachel Wolf: Would-be Prime Ministers should be wary of the long-term cost of short-term policy pledges

Campaigning through policy might be effective, but each promise made by a leadership candidate with little time for thought or research is a hostage to fortune.

Our survey. Next Tory Leader. So much excitement, so little change. Johnson maintains his lead.

He, Raab and Gove are in the same order as last month – first, second and third. No other candidate reaches double figures.

Matt Kilcoyne: The debate over British Steel puts a spotlight on Tory divisions

Is the party about protecting British industry, prioritising the environment, or unleashing the free market? The leadership contest must answer the question.

WATCH: McVey says that the Cabinet may “want to dismantle Brexit and get Remain through a back door”

There are too many Conservative leadership candidates

The contest may or may not produce a Snow White.  But statistically, there are bound to be more than seven dwarves.

Mordaunt becomes the first ever woman Defence Secretary

This is the post she has long wanted, and will have been disappointed not to get last time round.

Next Tory Leader. Our Survey. Johnson dominates the table. He puts on ten points and leads by eighteen.

The pattern of results over many months suggests that the worse the position of the Conservatives, the better he does.

Clark Vasey: Welcome to the Blue Collar Conservatism relaunch

Esther McVey with the support of MPs from across the party is refreshing and renewing the project.

By Clark Vasey | 1 April 2019 | 52 comments

Next Tory Leader. It’s Johnson first, Raab second and Gove third in our first survey since May’s pledge to quit.

Next time round, we will try run-offs between some of the main candidates, which are a bit ovedue.

They’re off! (Well, perhaps.) Twelve questions for leadership candidates.

Such as: do you see Brexit as a help or a hindrance – and what’s your vision for our post-Leave country?

By Paul Goodman | 28 March 2019 | 148 comments

Interview – Davies & McVey. They back May’s deal. “I don’t try to persuade Esther that she shouldn’t do something, and she doesn’t persuade me that I should do something.”

“We’ve both been on a very different journey…our views have aligned.”
