Ryan Bourne: To help grow prosperity, let’s focus on people and not places – such as towns

Bowman and Westlake’s policy ideas are perfectly compatible with this end, but pitching them as a city and town agenda risks creating a false impression.

Chloe Westley: Public sector pay – and why centralised bargaining must end

On the whole, pay rises should go to those on the frontline, or be used for recruitment and retention, or be based on performance.

Clark Vasey: Only Johnson can deliver Blue Collar Conservatism

He is the only candidate who can further the work of the project to which Esther McVey and I are so committed.

James Frayne: What polling does and doesn’t tell us about voters and the environment

What changed? When did we lose the global vocation that infused the Cabinet, Leavers and Remainers alike, two years ago?

Ze’ev Portner: The Conservatives could win over lifelong Labour voters, like me, by championing those trapped on low wages

Middle class Corbynistas are more concerned with the rights of Palestinians than they are with working conditions to be found in an Amazon warehouse in Staffordshire.
