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

From magic circle to one member one vote: a short history of Tory leadership contests

The present election will turn on whether MPs and activists put national popularity before ideological soundness.

Profile: Amber Rudd – moderation-preaching, whip-defying, No Deal-opposing. And sought by leadership contenders for support.

She is one of the few Cabinet members who does not give the impression of having had her personality flattened by the sacrifices demanded by a ministerial career.

Our view of May’s deal

Hers or Letwins? That’s what the choice is narrowing down to. From the point of view of trust in politics, how MPs vote will now make little difference – if any.

Conservative education policy is up for grabs

We trail a mini-series on what might happen next amidst a sense of uncertainty about will follow the Gove reforms.

Lewis Baston: Butler, pioneer of both the study and coverage of British politics

Drawing on decades of experience and friendships from all parties, Sir David – inventor of the swingometer – founded the UK’s psephological profession.

Education, housing, the environment: May’s campaigning priorities. And there is an NHS row. But what about the economy?

The Government had next to no living standards message at the election. It needs one now – and to explain how it fits in with those three priorities.

Interview: Kemi Badenoch – “I’m not really left-leaning on anything…I always lean right instinctively”

She voted for Davis in 2005, and her hero is Airey Neave: “The escape from Colditz is I think probably the coolest thing any British politician has ever done.”

Sam Gyimah: The time to develop a bright vision for post-Brexit social reform is right now

We must follow the example of Beveridge, Butler and Willink.

Reconstructing May 1) She won’t win the battle for the future if Corbyn defines the battles of the past.

The Prime Minister has a long story of progressive toryism to tell. Moral authority must not be conceded to Labour.

To help win a new generation of young voters, the Conservatives need a new Swinton College – or a modern equivalent

It was the brainchild of Rab Butler, set up to educate Tory members. 54,000 Conservative activists, agents and other students took courses.
