Nicky Morgan: This contest must be about much more than Brexit

Any candidate who focuses solely on leaving the EU will hit a brick wall with the Parliamentary Party.

Charlie Elphicke: It’s time to check the use of taxpayers’ money before it’s spent – not afterwards

We need a powerful Parliamentary spending watchdog, a Budget Committee, to stop hard-earned public cash being wasted.

Nicky Morgan: Let Hammond and the Treasury lead our Conservative programme for national renewal

Levels of trust between Numbers 10 and 11 Downing Street may be low, but the latter holds the key to helping create an economy and society that works for everyone.

Kevin Hollinrake: Why is the regulator protecting RBS – instigator of the greatest banking scandal in Britain’s history?

Ultimately, the only way properly to determine the extent of both this and wider problems is through a full public inquiry.

Nicky Morgan: Women on boards. We need fair access – not positive discrimination. And no more evasive excuses.

“Not enough senior women”…” “Not enough interested women”… “All the good ones have been snapped up”… “We already have one”… “No vacancies”…

Nicky Morgan: Ministers and whips may welcome this delay. But as the new Chair of the Treasury Select Commitee, I don’t.

The process of choosing members is taking a long time. Some will wonder how departments can continue without full scrutiny for almost four months.

Iain Dale: The biggest gossip in politics is interviewed by the biggest gossip in politics and names the biggest gossip in politics

Plus: The decline of books. Morgan sees off the cult of Mogg. Why I won’t fly RyanAir. And: As I reach a significant birthday, I mull writing my autobiography…

Tugendhat, Morgan, Halfon elected. The new power of the Select Committees.

Nothing is more permanent than the temporary. The pluses, minuses and paradox of an interim deal.

The Chancellor suggested that thoughtful politicians incline to one. But the more thoughtful one is about it, the more problematic it looks.
