Harris defends the deal Chamberlain struck with Hitler at Munich

His new thriller is readable, but lets the British Prime Minister and Establishment of 1938 off far too lightly.

That pitiable conference, this directionless party – and the tale of Johnson’s lion and May’s frog

We have our reservations about the Foreign Secretary, but concede that he alone, of those Ministers who spoke this week, made the Tory message sing.

Why are May and capitalism worth conserving?

The Prime Minister must explain today how reforming the system will deliver more gains for workers and familes than tearing it up.

John Bald: The Conservatives have tangible achievements in education

The phonics check for six year olds and the free schools programme are genuine breakthroughs.

Race to the bottom

May’s audit of ethnic disparities could blight her planned relaunch – and, more importantly, produce policy that sets back social justice rather than takes it forward.

Our CCHQ election audit: the rusty machine, part one. Why the operation that succeeded in 2015 failed in 2017.

One senior official put it to me starkly: “We should ask a question of the team – are you ready to fight another election in two years? If the answer is yes, then it’s a lie.”

In the wake of A-level results, the focus is on Universities. But we need a technical education expansion.

As the Conservatives anxiously mull their prospects with younger voters, shouldn’t they think a bit more about the two-thirds who don’t go to University?

The Chancellor has not always been well treated by his neighbour, and deserves support over public spending. But he has mishandled his internal position over Brexit.

If Timothy wants to salvage Mayism, he must help build the coalition it so lacked in June

Can the Prime Minister’s vision be rescued from the wreckage of the campaign?

Embracing this crude Marxist fiction has put the Conservative Party at risk of lasting electoral damage, particularly in London.

Revenge-and-tell? Perhaps. But Nick Timothy’s return to journalism promises much more.

For all his manifesto mistakes, his core take is correct. The key people in elections are who he has always said they are: lower middle-class, provincial, home-owning voters.

42 per cent and no majority 3) May should send for winners, having not won herself – and call in the Vote Leave team.

On the anniversary of the EU referendum, the party leadership needs an audit of what went wrong this month, and a plan for the Tory future in this Parliament.

Luke de Pulford: The Tories must urgently address their brand problem

Even in an age where institutional attachments run shallow, too many young people are coming to share a deep-seating dislike of our Party.

Terry Barnes: May would have seen her snap election fiasco coming, if only she’d looked abroad to…Australia

A massive poll lead. Going early. A wooden leader. Mindless mantras. A despised opposition. And then collapse. The parallels are uncanny: why didn’t Crosby warn her?

Nadhim Zahawi: Our policies were right. But we didn’t sell them.

Despite the outcome, our manifesto was a step in the right direction, from which we must not retreat backwards.
