The virus. Why Johnson fell. Why Johnson flourished. Two first drafts of history from 2024.

Two extreme versions of what happens next in Britain. Events are more likely to end up somewhere in the middle.

Robert Halfon: The Budget we need today is for social as well as physical infrastructure

By Robert Halfon MP | 11 March 2020 | 4 comments

David Jeffery: Why I am standing to be Voluntary Director of the Conservative Policy Forum

By Dr David Jeffery | 9 March 2020 | 29 comments

Andrea Leadsom: The legacy that I’ve left my successor at the Business Department

Our priorities were: tackling global climate change, solving Grand Challenges and making the UK the best place in the world to work and to grow a business.

By Andrea Leadsom MP | 9 March 2020 | 60 comments

Free speech is in crisis at universities. Just ask Rudd.

Students are the next round of lawyers, politicians and other key decision-makers. That’s why we must tackle their censorious ways.

By Charlotte Gill | 6 March 2020 | 127 comments

Peter Ainsworth: The truth is that universities do not offer value for money

By Peter Ainsworth | 3 March 2020 | 64 comments

Neil O’Brien: How the Conservatives can do better with younger voters. And remain a compassionate party.

After crushing Labour last year, it might be tempting to rest on our laurels. But we need to act now to keep the extreme left locked out of Number 10.

By Neil O Brien MP | 24 February 2020 | 123 comments

Ben Gadsby: Yes, the tuition fee system is working. And, no, there aren’t too many young people in higher education.

Too often, discussions about the sector generate more heat than light – and the light falls in the wrong place. We can do better.

By Ben Gadsby | 23 February 2020 | 89 comments

Rebecca Lowe: The Right cannot afford to duck the debate about trans, sex and gender

Julian Brazier: Universities in the bottom half of the sector would howl. But here are the reforms we should make to the system.

Anna Firth: We need a plan to regain the university seats, and win over the students who flocked to Corbyn

By Anna Firth | 23 January 2020 | 129 comments

Jonathan Clark: I have gazed not on Workington, but on Wokeington – and seen the future

The former may have won a battle, but the latter will win the war. Diverse, inclusive, victimhood culture is the future.

By Jonathan Clark | 22 January 2020 | 23 comments

Robert Alden: CCHQ should be relocated to Birmingham

Good quality office space is far cheaper in Birmingham than London, and the quality of life is higher. The West Midlands is full of battleground parliamentary seats.

By Robert Alden | 16 January 2020 | 39 comments

Darren Grimes: These devalued degrees are infantalising a generation of young people

There are now so many of them that the degree itself has less impact on employability – this ensuring that they become less economically valuable.
