Budget 1) This was less a Conservative Budget than “the People’s Budget”. From a Vote Leave Government – not the usual Tory one.

It may be necessary, given the Coronavirus, and could even work. But Britain has a long, long record of state spending failing to turbo-charge growth.

Budget 2) John Glen: The challenges we face of the virus and of weak productivity can’t be met by the repetition of small state mantras

The Chancellor’s measures leave us well prepared to tackle its short-term challenges as well as helping to shape the long-term trajectory of the economy.

By John Glen MP | 12 March 2020 | 17 comments

James Blagden: How to level up – and get growth going across the whole of the country

We can’t continue to favour projects such as Crossrail over developing infrastructure in other parts of the country which generate much greater relative returns.

By James Blagden | 6 March 2020 | 9 comments

Ryan Bourne: The core challenge that Johnson’s Government won’t face up to. Boosting growth.

Ministers have been asked to push the Government’s priorities – tackling crime, funding the NHS, “levelling up”. How can these be effected without faster growth?

By Ryan Bourne | 5 February 2020 | 48 comments

Carol Matthews: We need fairer investment and supply to level up housing in the North

In the second piece in our mini-series, the Chair of Homes for the North argues that driving public investment in housing towards the South East is not sustainable.

WATCH: Johnson 1) “It’s not for government to step in and save companies that simply run into trouble”

Asked about the future of Flybe, the Prime Minister adds he does “want to ensure regional connectivity”.

14 January 2020 | 40 comments

Eddie Hughes: Yes, let’s move CCHQ resources to the regions. But do so authentically.

If we really are becoming the Party of Blue Collar Conservatives, our Party must become the change that we want to see.

By Eddie Hughes MP | 11 January 2020 | 58 comments

Judy Terry: How councils can do more to attract inward investment

Regulations should be applied lightly and Business Rates cut. Improving transport links must be championed.

Damian Green: Labour’s dishonest attack on us this week will only work if we narrow our appeal

The Conservative Party has been at the forefront of reforms which have helped the disadvantaged. Modern history is full of evidence of this vital strain of conservatism.

By Damian Green MP | 23 September 2019 | 158 comments

Neil O’Brien: How to rebalance Britain’s unbalanced economy – by levelling up, not levelling down

Ever since the EU referendum, there’s been renewed focus on how to help poorer places. Helpfully there is decades of evidence about what does and doesn’t work.

By Neil O Brien MP | 23 September 2019 | 27 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 | 9 comments

Andy Street: The spending round must be about generating money as well as allocating it

The UK needs a state-of-the-art ‘gigafactory’, and it should be built here in the West Midlands alongside our established automotive cluster.

By Andy Street | 10 September 2019 | 46 comments

Andy Street: My seven tests to find the right Prime Minister for the West Midlands

They are chosen not from a factional or ideological standpoint, but from what I see while doing the job of Mayor.

By Andy Street | 4 June 2019 | 42 comments

Anthony Browne: Policy Gains from Brexit 5) Making regional development more effective

The then EU Budget Commissioner told me that giving control of this funding to national governments would make it subject to “democratic whim”.

By Anthony Browne | 24 May 2019 | 20 comments

Neva Sadikoglu-Novaky: Leaving the EU is an opportunity for greater localism, and to adapt our laws to suit our interests

The threshold for public procurement misses the point that purchasing power greatly varies. A fair price in one country may seem very expensive to others.
