Garvan Walshe: How the majority needed to deliver Brexit will thwart the reform needed to make a success of it

A new Conservative Government will need to transform the economy. It remains to be seen whether this be done with a majority based on northern, post-industrial Britain.

By Garvan Walshe | 5 December 2019 | 81 comments

Joe Shalam: A New Homes Network and a Boris Builds scheme. What a Conservative housing policy should look like.

It was described earlier this week as ‘the election issue yet to bark’. But it seems that this sleeping dog has finally awoken.

By Joe Shalam | 24 November 2019 | 38 comments

Andy Street: Brownfield First works in the West Midlands. The Conservatives should commit to rolling it out elsewhere.

Our pledge has been to look first to these former industrial sites, to reclaim them and clean them up, when developers come knocking on the door.

By Andy Street | 5 November 2019 | 4 comments

Matt Kilcoyne: The Conservative manifesto. Wooing Labour heartlands with socialist policy is a doomed strategy.

The first piece of a series this week about what the Conservative Manifesto should look like.

Neil O’Brien: How we can win support from younger voters – and turn our present strength into an enduring majority

For me, the most concerning thing wasn’t being behind among the very young, but being behind among everyone under age 47.

By Neil O Brien MP | 21 October 2019 | 66 comments

Matthew Lesh: The radical neoliberal programme which can revitalise the Conservatives

The Neoliberal Manifesto, a joint project between the Adam Smith Institute and 1828, champions an approach based on freedom, markets and choice.

By Matthew Lesh | 9 October 2019 | 43 comments

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.

By Ryan Bourne | 18 September 2019 | 10 comments

Bob Seely: Scrap the automatic Right to Buy. And nine other ideas to make housing sustainable.

The rest of our economy is shifting to greater sustainability. The system to provide places to live should do the same.

By Bob Seely MP | 15 July 2019 | 80 comments

George Freeman: Our new book. In which forty Tory MPs band together to help revive conservatism.

Britain Beyond Brexit, a New Conservative Vision for a New Generation, is published today by the CPS.

By George Freeman MP | 10 June 2019 | 31 comments

Howard Flight: Ministers must embrace supply-side reform to revive home ownership

That means easing onerous planning restrictions and ending George Osborne’s misguided crackdown on buy-to-let landlords.

By Lord Flight | 3 June 2019 | 38 comments

The local election aftermath. May and Corbyn are like two spooked children, drawing nearer for comfort as the thunder rages.

Will they now seek to appease turbulent voters by rushing her-deal-plus-the-Customs-Union through the Commons?

By Paul Goodman | 4 May 2019 | 368 comments

Simon Cooke: Who owns England? Not, it would appear, big business after all.

A Guardian author suggesting otherwise is wrong. The picture we get is of mostly stable land ownership.

By Cllr Simon Cooke | 20 April 2019 | 37 comments

Richard Ehrman: How building beautiful homes can make good economic sense

The key to better quality and design is to go one step further back to the developers’ raw material – land.

By Richard Ehrman | 1 February 2019 | 11 comments

Nicholas Boys Smith: Why do we build fewer homes proportionally than most other countries? Where’s the smoking gun?

We should move from a planning permission-led system to a building permit-led system. Design rules should be strict, clear, but limited.

By Nicholas Boys Smith | 7 December 2018 | 20 comments

Joel Charles: After May’s conference speech and Hammond’s Budget, opportunity must be our core objective

We have a habit of looking back at policy platforms pursued by previous Conservative Governments, and attempting to bring back popular policies like a poor Hollywood remake.

By Cllr Joel Charles | 31 October 2018 | 55 comments
