Trump, Parler, bias, free speech, incitement – and regulation. Beware of the cure being worse than the disease.

State action to regulate social media is unproblematic in principle, but deeply problematic in practice – and the law of unintended consequences applies.

By Paul Goodman | 12 January 2021 | 85 comments

Neil O’Brien: Trumpism in Britain. It’s time to call out those in the media who cynically feed the cranks, rioters and conspiracists.

One of our best selling papers recently ran a piece promoting the views of an “NHS worker” who claimed hospitals were “empty” and Covid was a “hoax”.

By Neil O Brien MP | 11 January 2021 | 123 comments

Iain Dale: The social media companies claim that they aren’t publishers. But their ban on the President proves that they are.

Plus: Biden won fair and square, Trump’s allegations of fraud have been dismissed by the courts – and one can be a conservative and say so.

Debbie Flint: Winning the social media war in Devon

Identifying heart-warming human interest stories boosts our councillors’ name recognition.

By Debbie Flint | 17 December 2020 | 12 comments

A Conservative leader can afford to take on his left or his right – but not the 1922 Committee’s Executive

The Brady amendment is part of the developing story of a clash between leaders and backbenchers over Party management, culture and MPs’ status.

Kate Dommett and Sam Power: We must act now to protect our elections from foreign interference

We are seeing the rise of the outrider. These ‘non-party campaigns’ often spring up in and around elections – with the public in the dark about their funding.

By Dr Kate Dommett and Dr Sam Power | 25 September 2020 | 69 comments

Linden Kemkaran: How our pop-up Summer Academy is providing what most schools didn’t during lockdown

We’re aiming to go over work that our children would have been doing, had they been at school – and get them ready for September.

By Linden Kemkaran | 30 July 2020 | 9 comments

Facebook, Liz Truss and future challenges with the internet giants

The difficulties the Government has had with Apple and its contact tracing app demonstrates the need to break up power in big tech.

By Charlotte Gill | 3 July 2020 | 79 comments

Luke Evans: What social media says about the Government and the virus. And what my constituents actually said when I asked them.

Independent retailers told me that the Government, though no means has been perfect, has supported them through the darkest of times.

By Dr Luke Evans MP | 24 June 2020 | 16 comments

Nat Wei: How the internet could have been used to protect lives and livelihoods during this crisis. And how we can do better.

More emphasis could have been put on local delivery of services, drugs, and even treatment using mobile medical equipment and remote consultation.

By Lord Wei | 20 May 2020 | 20 comments

Bob Seely: What the Isle of Wight has learned from trialling the NHS’s Coronavirus App

If enough of us download this app, we can, through our joint endeavours and the trace and test programme, suppress the virus.

By Bob Seely MP | 20 May 2020 | 35 comments

Damian Green: Our approach to China may now have to be more like our attitude to Russia during parts of the Cold War

My own experience when I was a minister showed two institutions which really didn’t care very much what we thought: the Chinese government, and Google.

By Damian Green MP | 31 March 2020 | 88 comments

Damian Collins: Social media. We should act now to make the big tech companies more responsible.

A small community radio station with a few thousand listeners requires a license, but a social media channel with millions of individual subscribers does not.

By Damian Collins MP | 9 March 2020 | 52 comments

James Frayne: The BBC’s growing problem isn’t public hostility. It’s apathy. Fewer people see the point of it.

The trust factor is simply less relevant, because fewer people are accessing the Corporation’s output in the first place.

By James Frayne | 18 February 2020 | 70 comments

Matt Kilcoyne: Giving Ofcom power over the internet will hurt the Conservatives

It will mean woke bureaucrats censoring Tory activists, undermining entrepreneurs, and threatening our free press. Time to drop it once and for all.
