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.

By Dean Godson | 21 November 2020 | 17 comments

James Frayne: Our national political conversation is unrepresentative. Metro London is heard loud and clear. The provinces, scarcely at all.

They don’t talk about politics in daily life; don’t write to local or national newspapers; most importantly, they’re not politically active online.

By James Frayne | 18 August 2020 | 94 comments

David Lidington: My friend David Gauke is wrong. Liberal Tories should still feel at home in the Conservative Party.

Our electoral success has rested in large measure on an ability and willingness to adapt to the realities of social and economic change.

By David Lidington | 7 July 2020 | 88 comments

This is the most socially liberal Conservative government in history

We give you divorce reform, abortion law in Northern Ireland, citizenship rights for three million Hong Kongers, and the rainbow flag.

By Paul Goodman | 6 July 2020 | 213 comments

Neil O’Brien: The New Puritans want to tear down our liberal settlement. Here’s what they think – and why they must be resisted.

Countries need a balance of self-criticism and self-confidence. People are often called on to act for a greater good. But if Britain is shameful, why bother?

By Neil O Brien MP | 29 June 2020 | 131 comments

Conservative MPs must be ready to keep Sunday special

A limited suspension is one thing, lasting change would be another. And so often, nothing is so permanent as the temporary.

By Paul Goodman | 7 June 2020 | 157 comments

Trump’s brutal response to the riots puts him closer to the people than his liberal opponents

American liberals have a fervent belief in equality, and will do everything they can for the American people short of spending any time with them.

By Andrew Gimson | 2 June 2020 | 233 comments

James Kanagasooriam’s Twitter thread on why the link between freedom and prosperity is breaking down

Is economics the key after all – driving the culture wars in western liberal democracies?

20 April 2020 | 40 comments

A book which sees the ultra-liberals as a threat. But doesn’t recognise that they’re not having it all their own way.

The Conservative victory in the general election of 2019, on a promise to Get Brexit Done, was a crushing defeat for them.

By Andrew Gimson | 21 March 2020 | 62 comments

How Trump made himself the champion of America’s Christian evangelicals

The authors of a new book trace the enduring influence of American Puritanism, and explain how the President appeals to it.

By Andrew Gimson | 22 February 2020 | 117 comments

Chris Bullivant: If free market and social conservatives find common ground, they could be unstoppable

The schism between between Tory Eurosceptics and Europhiles has been overcome; now another divide must be healed.

By Chris Bullivant | 21 February 2020 | 57 comments

Daniel Hannan: Identity politics threatens modern civilisation

It is a reversion to the old tribal idea: this people good, that people bad. It challenges the notion that we are all individuals, responsible for our own behaviour.

By Daniel Hannan | 5 February 2020 | 89 comments

Ryan Bourne: Johnson’s policy prospectus is tainted by interventionism, statism, collectivism – and could be a lot worse.

We economic liberals should be cautiously thankful for the stay of execution that his leadership and manifesto have given us.

By Ryan Bourne | 11 December 2019 | 13 comments

Neil O’Brien: Fifty shades of conservatism

It’s a bit like the roof of Parliament’s Westminster Hall: which is held up by a lot of huge, ancient beams all resting on each other.

By Neil O Brien MP | 7 October 2019 | 48 comments

Ryan Shorthouse: Brexit is seeing struggle enough. Communitarians and libertarians don’t have to be in conflict.

Interdependence and independence need each other, and the Conservative Party should stand for both.

By Ryan Shorthouse | 3 October 2019 | 48 comments
