David Gauke: A traditional southern Conservative supporter ponders how best to vote

Economic competence has been the cornerstone of the Conservative appeal. Remove that cornerstone and the entire structure becomes fragile.

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.

David Gauke: Whatever briefings from Downing Street may claim, an election fought on a No Deal platform would be disastrous

Let me give seven examples of principles that most Conservatives would support. I struggle to reconcile them with those pursuing a No Deal Brexit at any cost.

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.

Ryan Bourne: In America, public spending conservatism is being lost. It could happen in Britain.

Former Government advisers see an opportunity to steer the party towards a “bigger government” vision for the party they’ve always spoiled for.

So we’ve had NHS, policing and immigration plans from Johnson. Stand ready for a schools spending pledge.

He committed during the leadership election contest to raise it to £5000 per pupil – and level up outside London.

“To literally feel terror”

Patel’s aim and Johnson’s announcements will be difficult to deliver, but he is intent on proving that his Government is “on your side”.

John Penrose: The conventional wisdom is wrong. Hunt’s spending plans are neither unaffordable nor irresponsible.

Hammond and the Institute for Fiscal Studies are simply mistaken to suggest otherwise. It’s not as though we’re still living in 2010.

Johnson’s August 3) Delivering campaign pledges – in so far as he can without a durable majority

His time and room are very constricted, but he can at least demonstrate his domestic priorities – police and schools.

Iain Mansfield: Brexit by October 31. Stop using the Left’s language. And stand for skilled workers. Essentials for our next Prime Minister.

Which candidate can devise and push through the policies needed to unite the Tory shires with the Leave voters of the north?

Mark Harper: If the Conservative Party is not the party of sound money, then what on earth are we for?

Between them, the two remaining candidates have already clocked up tax and spending promises of around £51 billion per year.

Robert Halfon: Old Etonian Johnson now drives a white van

Raising national insurance, fewer “sin taxes”, public sector pay rises, more schools spending – all are part of his programme.

Tax cut promises, spending hike pledges – and an air of unreality

We apologise for not being swept away by the mania for new announcements that infests this leadership contest.

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.

ConservativeHome’s leadership election panel. “The next Tory leader’s task is to fashion a home for “decent populists”

Each week, our panel of John O’Sullivan, Rachel Wolf, Trevor Phillips, Tim Montgomerie and Marcus Roberts will analyse and assess what’s happening.
