Our last pre-election Cabinet League Table. It’s a near-tie at the top: Javid, Gove, Johnson, in that order.

Whilst individual ministers rise and fall, overall the Government goes to the polls with a lot of goodwill from grassroots Conservatives.

Lord Ashcroft’s Conference Diary: Perhaps Johnson really is the British Trump. And voters like it.

And: Gove says MPs can sit at weekends to get a deal through. Plus: Brisk business at the bookstall – and the menace of the “offence archaeologists”.

WATCH: “We will see what the legislation says.” Gove ducks question about abiding by a new Brexit law.

Andrew Marr asks him what will happen if Parliament passes a measure preventing a No Deal Brexit.

Nick Faith: Osborne, Javid – and why Conservatives now welcome state intervention

They both effectively argued that free market capitalism, left to its own devices, is its own worst enemy.

Reasons to be Tory 3) Gove’s exam reforms

They have helped to spread opportunity, raise life chances and make a difference.

Iain Dale: How I helped to rig an election phone-in

Plus: CCHQ goes all Goebbels. I announce my peerage – replacing Lord Ashcroft. My political bias. Good luck to agents. And: am I an egotistical knob?

Why has Birmingham Council not been challenged more over the “Trojan Horse” scandal?

Assuming local authority “oversight” protects against Islamist extremism is misguided.

John Bald: Turning the Tide in Tottenham?

Michael Gove is entitled to feel a strong sense of satisfaction at this outcome at Harris Philip Lane Academy

Gove plans to encourage retired workers to go into teaching

Defeating The Blob means breaking the PGCE monopoly in teacher

Islamism is far from being the biggest extremist threat to our schools

Leftwing extremists have waged a relentless campaign to spread their insane ideas throughout the state education system

Cllr Chris Whitehouse: Challenging policy-based evidence making to deliver Gove’s policies

Hampshire County Council should allow popular schools to grow.

John Bald: Mr Blunkett’s Prefects

Blunkett made it very difficult for schools to deal with poor behaviour

Gove should broaden the Tories school choice offer

New grammar schools and a revived Assisted Places Scheme should be part of the mix

The alleged “Trojan Horse” takeover of Birmingham schools is a minefield Gove must clear

If the claims are true, they must be dealt with for the good of pupils and the principle of the Gove reforms.

Climate change on the curriculum – education or brainwashing?

Michael Gove has made clear that for schools to promote a particular political or ideological viewpoint is against the law.
