Robert Halfon: Do Barwell’s bean-counters lack the vision to see why Tories must campaign for social justice?

Plus: why John Bald is wrong to be critical on this site of the Education Select Committee’s report on school exclusions.

Natalie Elphicke: The private renting experiment has failed six million people. Here’s an alternative approach.

There is compelling evidence that there are only two tenures – social housing and home ownership – by which wellbeing of people is supported effectively.

Andrew Potter: Attractive new homes can also be energy efficient

We offer social housing with traditional design and also saving our tenants around £500 a year on fuel bills. The Government should back this approach.

What Brokenshire is up to as Communities Secretary, sorry, Housing Secretary, sorry, Communities Secretary

He wants to take people with him in his quest to hit the Government’s target. But will radical policy ideas fit with his emollient political approach?

Right to buy sales are delivering replacement homes

Since 2010 there have been 90,730 sales through Right to Buy and councils have delivered 94 per cent of the replacements required to meet the one-for-one target.

Bob Seely: My housing challenge to think tanks. Devise a strategy that will prize social justice above economic liberalism.

In my constituency, we have a target of just over 640 homes a year. Our housing waiting list is 3,000.

Adam Wildman: How we respond to tragedies like Grenfell defines us – complacency and neglect must end for good

Maybe it’s because I grew up next to the tower, or that I lost a member of my family in the fire, but next week’s anniversary of the tragedy has an added poignancy for me.

Robert Halfon: It’s time for Ministers to let local authorities build more council homes, and borrow to do so

We need more houses, not just to buy, but to rent – truly affordably, as well. This is a social justice issue.

Blaming Tory councillors with double-barrelled surnames for the Grenfell tragedy was unjust

A powerful analysis by Andrew O’Hagan for the London Review of Books also contains serious criticisms of senior Ministers.

Richard Tice: Let’s all do our bit to end the scourge of knife crime

It’s not just about police numbers – the key is to focus relentlessly on results and efficiency, freeing officers to get out on patrol.

The Conservatives must press on with giving housing association tenants the right to buy

A right to shared ownership would also be welcome. Boldness is needed to prevent a Corbyn Government.

What a pro-consumer Conservative housing strategy might look like

The Government has to balance the need to get lots more houses built with its duty to protect buyers from unscrupulous builders.

Ross Archer: Why I am standing to be Mayor of Lewisham

Under Labour the local football club has been treated appallingly and crime has been allowed to rise. The Conservatives offer a bold and positive alternative.

Tim Pollard: In Croydon, Labour is going through a tortuous process to block the right to buy for future council tenants

They are also failing to bring local communities with them. Development must be attractive to win support for the new homes we need.

Bob Blackman: Today, at last, my Homelessness Reduction Act comes into force

It is not a fix-all, but I hope its measures will produce a real improvement in the number of people who become homeless in the first place.
