Howard Flight: Today’s Mayite Conservatives have embraced a socialist ethic – with wishy-washy, opportunistic policies.

Mercifully, there remain a few Thatcherites, even in the Cabinet, who believe in the power of liberty, responsibility, commerce and voluntary action.

Lord Ashcroft: The general election. How the Conservatives damaged their reputation for competence without gaining one for compassion.

Nearly everything believed to exercise Labour more than the Tories was also named more often as a priority for “me and my family” than for Britain as a whole.

James Bundy: Schools, housing, social mobility – and the passionate case that Scottish Conservatives must make

Voters aren’t focusing on the constitution, but on the SNP’s record in Government. We must be ready to capitalise on this by telling then the truth.

Put aside the Westminster politics, and ask: on Brexit policy, is the Foreign Secretary right?

Britain could flourish under the minimalist WTO-type settlement that seems to be his bottom line. But it is not the optimal outcome, and threatens a significant downside.

Terry Barnes: British conservatives should watch the New Zealand election campaign closely

A solid but unspectacular centre-right Prime Minister, with a good economic record, is trying to fight off a charismatic, high-spending challenge from the left.

Howard Flight: So who’s to blame for our productivity problems? Step forward, Gordon Brown

Between 1997 and 2005, public sector spending rose from £336 billion to £517 billion a year. But its output has increased little, so its productivity has fallen dramatically.

Richard Ritchie: Was the election result really such a disaster for the Conservatives?

By 2022, Corbyn will no longer look ‘new’, and that he came close to winning in 2017 should mean that he will then be exposed to far greater scrutiny,

John Baron: It’s time to embrace the One-Nation message – and win

As possibly the only Brexiteer in the Parliamentary Party’s One Nation group, I am also only too aware that this message must be accompanied by a successful EU negotiation.

How Hammond could raise his ratings

The Chancellor has not always been well treated by his neighbour, and deserves support over public spending. But he has mishandled his internal position over Brexit.

Chris Grayling: Don’t claim that I didn’t warn you about Corbyn

When I wrote on this website last year that we should not underestimate him, some ridiculed my argument. Now we have to educate a new generation about the dangers of Labour.

Kieron O’Hara: Seven ways to reach younger voters. Including, as May is doing today, reaching out to other parties.

If the Conservatives spoke a progressive alliance, and meant it, they might be able to make some progress – and break down virulent anti-Toryism.

Daniel Hannan: Sooner or later, you run out of spending other people’s money. And it’s young people who foot the bill.

The left cries “Growth not austerity”. Seriously, comrades, if it were that easy, don’t you think someone would have done it by now?

Robert Halfon: Being a Workers Party means being a party for lower taxes too

We should put the proceeds in a special Redistribution Fund to spend either on public services, or on poorer communities, or cutting taxes for the lower paid.

Voter satisfaction with public services – higher under the Conservatives than Labour

The Corbynite-Momentum-Left movement is trying to bluff Tory MPs and activists into believing that public support for its hysterical worldview is higher than it really is.

May’s Calendar Girl Queen’s Speech

A lot on Brexit; not much elsewhere. The lack of a majority leaves the Prime Minister exposed – whatever may happen with the DUP.
