By Richard Sloggett | 14 April 2021

This year there are a record number of Mayoral races. West Yorkshire is the latest addition.

The West of England was a narrow Conservative victory last time. It is likely to be closely fought again.

By Harry Phibbs | 2 April 2021

Richard Holden: This spring’s local elections. For levelling-up to work, we need local councils and leaders who back it.

The sad truth is that many local Labour councils and local bureaucracies don’t want it: they’re scared of it.

By Richard Holden MP | 29 March 2021

By Charlotte Gill | 4 March 2021

Ben Houchen: The Budget. On Wednesday, Sunak must hear the voice of the North – and kickstart a new era of job creation.

The “Red Wall” communities in my area overwhelmingly backed Johnson in the last election, and it’s essential that the faith they put in him is returned.

By Ben Houchen | 26 February 2021

Harry Fone: Reserves should be used to limit Council Tax rises. If this isn’t a “rainy day”, what is?

Labour council leaders’ resistance to local lockdowns gives Starmer a dilemma

Neil O’Brien: The next algorithm disaster – coming to a Conservative constituency near you. This time, it’s housing growth.

By Neil O Brien MP | 24 August 2020 | 94 comments

Neil O’Brien: No, more economic prosperity doesn’t depend on more social liberalism

I hesitate to disagree with Daniel Finkelstein, but city growth has been powered more by smalltown commuters than flat-cap wearing uber-boheminans.

By Neil O Brien MP | 13 July 2020 | 27 comments

By Ryan Stephenson | 4 June 2020 | 20 comments

James Frayne: Nine thousand jobs lost at Rolls Royce. The damage that the virus is wreaking on provincial Britain is terrible – and will last
