Sajid Javid: Housing First helps to break the cycle of rough sleeping. So let’s scale it up and finish the job.

The Centre for Social Justice’s new report sets out in detail how the programme could be increased from 2,000 to 16,500 places.

By Sajid Javid MP | 19 February 2021

Paul Howell and Heather Wheeler: Full HS2 is critical to our election commitment to rebalance the economy

We cannot waste the opportunity that our Government’s high-speed rail investment plans presents.

By Paul Howell and Heather Wheeler | 16 February 2021 | 23 comments

Laura Blumenthal: The University of Leicester’s changes aren’t woke. They’re about driving down standards to save money  

The heart of this issue isn’t culture wars or dropping student numbers – it’s about giving a poorer education because they feel they can get away with it.

By Cllr Laura Blumenthal | 9 February 2021 | 23 comments

Robert Largan: Cutting Council Tax would do more to level up than cutting Corporation Tax

We need to look seriously at how our tax system works and whether the burden is spread fairly across the whole country.

By Robert Largan | 18 January 2021 | 27 comments

Whatever happened to the Covid marshalls?

Local councils in England received £30 million in funding to help them put together teams of compliance officers. So how has it been used?

By Charlotte Gill | 6 January 2021 | 15 comments

Nick King: Johnson’s Reset. The Government needs business if it’s to build back better.

The final article in ConHome’s series on the Prime Minister’s Reset Moment – and what should follow from it.

By Nick King | 22 November 2020 | 43 comments

David Skelton: It was working class voters who delivered this majority – and Johnson must not abandon them now

The second of a ConHome series this week on the Prime Minister’s Reset Moment – and what should follow from it.

By David Skelton | 17 November 2020 | 70 comments

Damian Green: Why a forced choice between a Brexity North and a Globalist South would be a false one – and damage our Party

The first of a ConHome series this week on Boris Johnson’s Reset Moment – and what should follow from it.

By Damian Green MP | 16 November 2020 | 27 comments

Rachel Wolf: Johnson’s re-set choice. He can focus on the Just About Managing. Or go after Affluent Britain. But not both.

The manifesto path means doing things now. The Cameroon path relies on a public rejection of much said before. A vague agenda in the middle won’t cut it.

By Rachel Wolf | 14 November 2020 | 124 comments

James Frayne: Perhaps the Conservatives should simply revert to being southern and posh

If they can’t make a real impact on the lives of working class voters in provincial seats, Johnson will meet the same electoral fate as Trump.

Like the virus itself, and like other restrictions, this shutdown will come down hardest on the deep poor

Duncan Smith names “five giants”: family breakdown, worklessness, serious personal debt, addiction and educational underachievement.

By Paul Goodman | 2 November 2020 | 71 comments

Andy Street: It’s time to accept that HS2 is a done deal – part of caring for livelihoods as well as lives in our region

As the short-term economy comes under immense strain, we should support the UK’s biggest single long-term investment.

By Andy Street | 20 October 2020 | 57 comments

Simon Fell: Why there should be a permanent cut to business rates for retail

New research today by WPI Strategy categorically proves that the business rates burden is highest in northern towns such as Barrow and Leigh.

By Simon Fell MP | 19 October 2020 | 20 comments

James Frayne: Coastal towns – next for the Conservatives after the Red Wall seats. And essential for a shore-to-shore majority.

I will be returning regularly to this theme: the need to create a mainstream English and Welsh majority from shore to shore.

By James Frayne | 13 October 2020 | 52 comments

Ian Howells: Hybrids are the key to delivering the Government’s climate transport goals in the UK

The UK can and should achieve its ambitious emissions reductions targets. But it will only get there by making the most of all energy sources and technologies.

By Ian Howells | 13 October 2020 | 25 comments
