John Penrose: Grassroots Tories, the Conservative Policy Forum needs you

Our Party’s internal think-tank offers has a crucial role to play in broadening our appeal and devising a winning policy programme.

Andrew Green: The Tories’ immigration policy is weak and could easily fail

The most serious risk of all is the clear possibility that the new regime will lead to a massive increase of immigration.

Ian Warren and Will Jennings: Addressing the needs of towns is key to winning this election

Otherwise the Left will continue to dominate much of civil society and public life.

Penny Mordaunt: We must reunify the country – and MPs can start by helping, not hindering, Brexit

Let’s get a good deal, let’s end the toxic tribalism affecting our parties and our politics, and start the healing.

The first writer in our mini-series is concerned that the Conservative education policy is at risk of neglecting the important lessons of the Gove years.

Alex Morton: To restore purpose, legislate for England

It was once said that the secret of Thatcher’s success was moving steadily on multiple fronts so that her enemies did not know where to focus their attention.

Alex Morton: As she prepares to shape her own spending review, May’s influence could last much longer than you expect
