Bob Seely: Yes, Brexit and leadership are important. But so’s everything else. Here are some ideas for the future.

Scrap HS2. Integrate social care. Abolish NI. Reverse police cuts. Consider a new Bill of Rights. And much, much more.

Penny Mordaunt: The twelve new rules of politics

Ideas and vision are necessary, but they are not sufficient. People need to see results and to achieve them they need to take part.

Nicholas Daniels: Britain should pursue a more disruptive aid strategy

The Department for International Development should focus on building up the private sector in developing economies.

Theo Clarke: Our army and our aid workers are both essential to the UK’s security

DfID and the MoD are most effective when they work together, not when they fight one another for resources.

Robert Halfon: What Hunt has done for the NHS, Hinds must do for schools. We need textbooks, not tanks.

Plus: beware of claims that we’ve reached Peak Corbyn. Don’t raise fuel duty. Scrap hospital car parking charges. And: Hands keeps his promises.

Chris Skidmore: How the Conservative Party’s new Policy Commission will work

Five task forces cover energising our economy, transforming our public services, building a fairer society, sustaining our democracy and shaping a Global Britain.

“Where’s Penny?” The International Development Secretary is biding her time, and choosing her words carefully

Mordaunt – like Patel before her – is effective, ambitious, and keenly aware that many Conservative voters are not natural fans of aid spending.

Jeremy Lefroy: Why we will need a new development bank post-Brexit

Such an institution would not only replace the European Investment Bank but give us an opportunity to demonstrate expertise and innovation.

Alex Chalk: If British values are to be realised, Conservatives must fight for legal aid

If ‘fair play’ is to mean anything, then it is vital that legal redress is available to all – regardless of income or background.

Chloe Westley: Enough talk of tax rises from Tory Ministers. Let’s have tax cuts instead. Or else what are they for?

The Conservatives are not going to win the hearts and minds of the British people by proposing Labour-lite policies. There must be something different on offer.

Alexander Woolf: How young people could help the Government transform aid

Funding an ‘apprenticeship with a heart’ could help broaden access to overseas service whilst getting more money to the front line.

Nicholas Daniels: Investment should play a much greater role in British overseas aid strategy

Supporting businesses and innovators can generate scalable, sustainable returns whilst bypassing corrupt middle-men and avoiding white elephant projects.

Alex Morton: It’s time to turn the Department for International Development into a Department for Humanitarian Relief

At a time when austerity continues, we need to be explain that we are not wasting taxpayers’ money on a grand delusion that we can create prosperity.

James Frayne: Those who use the Oxfam scandal to bash overseas aid risk looking opportunistic in the extreme

While polls show that clear majorities believe the aid budget to be too high, they continue to pour their own money into international development charities.

The withdrawal of public funds is the best thing that could happen to Oxfam

Taxpayers’ money has sapped the independence, and the moral responsibility, of our great charities.
