Ros Altmann: Ministers must think again about abandoning manifesto commitments to pensioners

It is right that younger generations pay the soaring costs of unfunded commitments to older citizens, that is how it has always been.

By Baroness Altmann | 11 November 2021

Health and Social Care 3) Ryan Bourne: The battle for spending control and lower taxes appears to be lost

By Ryan Bourne | 8 September 2021

Andrew Griffith: Unpick the triple lock – because it’s unfair for pensioners to gain from the misfortunes of others

Our manifesto couldn’t reasonably be expected to predict the freak consequences of Covid in terms of rapid wage growth.

By Andrew Griffith MP | 24 August 2021

David Gauke: There are signs that the Treasury is winning – and that more tax rises are coming.

The overseas aid and Universal Credit decisions suggest that, for the first time in a while, the cause of fiscal conservatism is gaining the upper hand.

By David Gauke | 19 July 2021

Chris Whiteside: Scrapping the pensions triple lock would be wrong, but not reforming it would be a missed opportunity

We should base it on an index of cumulative change in wages.

By Cllr Chris Whiteside | 12 July 2021

Calls for care home equipment must be heard. But they mustn’t be allowed to panic residents and loved ones.

By Charlotte Gill | 15 April 2020 | 37 comments

James Kanagasooriam: The left-right age gap is even worse for the Conservatives than you think

It’s also more pronounced than for Leave-Remain. We are about to see a disproportionately Tory cohort succeeded by a disproportionately Labour one.

By James Kanagasooriam | 8 April 2019 | 197 comments

Bob Seely: Yes, Brexit and leadership are important. But so’s everything else. Here are some ideas for the future.

Scrap HS2. Integrate social care. Abolish NI. Reverse police cuts. Consider a new Bill of Rights. And much, much more.

By Bob Seely MP | 18 September 2018 | 40 comments

The Government needs to consider three strands if it is to offer a comprehensive solution: state support, private assets, and individual planning.

By Damian Green MP | 3 August 2018 | 49 comments

Alex Chalk: If British values are to be realised, Conservatives must fight for legal aid

If ‘fair play’ is to mean anything, then it is vital that legal redress is available to all – regardless of income or background.

By Alex Chalk MP | 9 June 2018 | 73 comments

Howard Flight: Local elections should be about local government

All teenagers should be taught at school about the structure of the British constitution – this would help improve the engagement and basis of knowledge for local government elections.

By Lord Flight | 7 May 2018 | 30 comments

Guy Opperman: Automatic enrolment is five years old. And it’s changing saving for the better.

By 2018, we expect that figure to rise to 10 million employees newly saving or saving more – rivalling the combined populations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

By Guy Opperman MP | 15 December 2017 | 8 comments

Stamp Duty punishes those who could help free up the housing supply.

By Harry Phibbs | 17 August 2017 | 56 comments
