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.

Jamie Whyte: The Conservatives didn’t win because they rejected Thatcher’s beliefs – a small state and free markets

The “modernisers” think that people with clear principles are cranks. In five years, they may find themselves queuing for food at their local Red Star state supermarket.

WATCH: Ici Londres – There really is no magic money tree, says Hannan

“Austerity is not a choice. Austerity is what happens when you have a deficit. And we still have one of £50 billion.”

Margot James: We need to make the case for wealth creation to a new generation of young people

Labour’s handouts must be exposed as a self-defeating deception – as must the danger of what happens when “there is no money left”.

Nicky Morgan: This is Labour’s Momentum Election – nasty, intimidating, abusive and troll-ridden

Corbyn isn’t some misguided but well-meaning old man, but a deeply committed socialist intent on crashing our economy.
