Rebecca Lowe: The May portrait protests. Roll up the map on these Oxford geographers.

Claiming that there’s only one acceptable way of thinking about anything sets us rolling down a slippery slope towards destruction.

James Frayne: To contest big state ideas, small state conservatives need to get to grips with the detail

They must also rediscover the interests of the consumer – and be better at engaging working class voters on social issues.

Rebecca Lowe: Gender pay, childcare, flexibility, robots – and the future of work

To my mind, once some kind of base fairness has been established, then it’s best to leave cultural transformations down to demand.

Whatever happened to the Big Society? 3) Peter Franklin: The values of the all-consuming state or market both deaden the human spirit

Even in an age of austerity, government has plenty of power and assets, which it could on a small-scale, experimental basis transfer to the control of community groups.

In her belief in “the good that government can do”, she is quite unique in terms of UK political post-war history.

James Frayne: Right or wrong, most people bitterly oppose MPs having “second jobs”
