Tony Devenish: To win in the capital, Conservatives need policies that show we are on Londoners’ side

My polling shows how a Tory candidate for Mayor of London could use a consumer-led approach to politics – as Margaret Thatcher did.

Guy Senior: Labour councillors in Wandsworth vote against new libraries, new houses and a health centre

Over 60 per cent of the homes being built will be “affordable” under Khan’s definition. This is well above the usual target of 35 per cent – yet they still oppose.

Ed Cox: The North has taken a step closer to getting the transport infrastructure it deserves

Transport for the North can now set its own priorities and make its own plans – but Westminster must devolve more powers to allow it to reach its full potential.

Khan attacked by Labour councillors for cuts to Taxicard funding

The proposal is criticised for hitting the vulnerable and breaking an election pledge. Local transport schemes are also being hit.

Labour members can shout down Corbyn’s critics at Conference

Plans to give much more time for rank-and-file speeches may be why Khan and Burnham are having a hard time getting speaking slots.

Alex Crowley: The Conservative Party in London must learn from Davidson’s success in Scotland

We face the prospect of extinction in our nation’s capital if we do not take steps to arrest a decline that has been underway for some years.

If I know Osborne, he will be thinking ahead – and mulling his chances of editing the Times

It is doubtless bad manners to ask, on day two of his new job, what he will do next. But posing the question and trying to answer it is irresistible.

Roger Evans: Six months of Mayor Khan

Promises have already been abandoned – on transport fares, housing, policing. Even trees.

Gareth Bacon: Khan needs to get serious about rail devolution

The Mayor of London is still in campaign mode – he should switch to governing mode.

Daniel Kawczynski: It’s time the Polish airmen who fought for Britain had their memorial

Despite the significant Polish contributions over the generations, one will be hard pressed to find any commemoration of their efforts and sacrifice.

Jonathan Glanz: Mayoral devolution risks letting our cities fail

Wales has shown Labour failure and a lack of true accountability.

Johnson has more urgent business to hand than running the country

The most senior Minister in place at home has a great task before him – helping his country find a new international role (and restoring the morale of an exhausted department).

Amy Yiannitsarou: Might Adonis ditch Osborne for Khan?

The peer is meant to be heading up the Chancellor’s flagship National Infrastructure Commission, but may be joining the new Mayor’s transport team.

Salvatore Murtas: Khan’s challenge to secularism

Labour’s mayoral candidate put his faith at the centre of his candidacy. Do we want religion creeping back into our politics?

Iain Dale: Vote Leave should stop fretting about Farage – who’s likely to be a better debater than Boris or Gove.

Plus: Hooligans shame the name of West Ham. Team Corbyn spins the local elections. And: Is Ruth Davidson actually Alec Douglas-Home in disguise?
