Andrew Gimson’s PMQs sketch: Davies wonders whether the Prime Minister is a Conservative

Starmer attacked Johnson for promising not to cut the size of the Army, yet now doing exactly that.

Clark Vasey: Welcome to the Blue Collar Conservatism relaunch

Esther McVey with the support of MPs from across the party is refreshing and renewing the project.

Interview – Davies & McVey. They back May’s deal. “I don’t try to persuade Esther that she shouldn’t do something, and she doesn’t persuade me that I should do something.”
