The Politics of And. Growing the Majority 3) Further education and higher education

There are three main issues for us. The HE/FE balance, making all students welcome on campus and the Conservatives’ own internal housekeeping.

“Get out of London.” Now watch Johnson and Cummings turn the country upside down. Or try to.

Don’t expect Downing Street to bother too much about what MPs or the media think as it prepares to shake up government and Whitehall.

The election in which the Conservatives finally waved farewell to Thatcher’s ghost

Johnson is a self-described “Brexity Hezza” and now has the chance to mould a Party and country in his own romantic image.

We placed our trust in Johnson. Whatever happens on Thursday, he has kept faith with us – and with Britain.

A Black, sorry, Red Swan may carry him off. But in less than six months he has rescued the Conservatives, and is on the brink of delivering the referendum mandate.

The ConservativeHome columnists and the Conservative Party manifesto

We unleashed Nick Timothy on the world as a columnist. Meet the husband-and-wife combo of Rachel Wolf and James Frayne.

The three finalists for tomorrow’s candidate selection in Meriden

The Secretary General of Muslims for Britain; a Birmingham City Councillor; and a former Joint Chief of Staff to Theresa May will fight it out tomorrow.

Even Corbyn’s Labour is wary of assaulting his free school and academy legacy directly.

Rachel Wolf: In defence of Cameron

My local secondary schools were no-go areas and no one from my primary school went to one. That won’t be my children’s experience, and he can take a lot of credit.

The end of the Conservative Party as we have known it

Today, its future looks less economically and socially liberal; its flavour less southern and more northern; its replacement MPs more committed to Brexit. Will that work?

Ryan Bourne: In America, public spending conservatism is being lost. It could happen in Britain.

Former Government advisers see an opportunity to steer the party towards a “bigger government” vision for the party they’ve always spoiled for.

Hammond complains about a No Deal Brexit – a policy to which he was signed up if necessary. And undermined.

He suggests that Johnson is acting dishonestly in claiming that he wants a deal.  But with all respect to the former Chancellor, he is throwing stones from a glass house.

May’s premiership. How a loner leader met an isolated end.

The more centralised her decision-making became, the less control over events she actually had.

Risking our security. Risking our alliances. Opening our infrastructure up to China is a risk too far.

There are no certainties – at least, until it’s too late – so the UK should err on the side of caution.

May walks a red tape tightrope on workers’ rights and regulations

In trying to find a way across, and to secure the votes she needs from Labour MPs, the Prime Minister risks unintended consequences.
