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.

Andy Cook: Give the poor a pay rise? Boost their productivity.

The Government must do much more to promote universities, apprenticeships and FE colleagues equally to ensure that young people get the skills they need.

John Blake: This week, A-levels. Next, GCSEs. Now we need to know what the next Tory education reforms will be.

It should focus on improving vocational training for people who are not going to university – and on getting primary as well as secondary education right.

In the wake of A-level results, the focus is on Universities. But we need a technical education expansion.

As the Conservatives anxiously mull their prospects with younger voters, shouldn’t they think a bit more about the two-thirds who don’t go to University?

Nick Faith: To deliver world-class vocational education, May must take on the higher education establishment

The second part of a ConHome mini-series on the future of technical education after this general election.

Nadhim Zahawi: This is not a manifesto that plays it safe. But it’s the right one for Britain.

There is a radical, ambitious zeal evident throughout the document, and it is shown again in the desire to end iniquitous disparities between the generations.

Alice Barnard: You want better vocational education? Then drop the fixation with the EBacc.

Retail – and why the Conservatives should turn their focus to how Corbyn would plunder your purse, wallet and savings

May has a campaign for the country. She must complement it, as best she can, with one for you and your family.

We asked for Grown-Up Government. Now we’ve got it.

May’s manifesto is real politics – that’s to say, a serious attempt to prepare Britain for the post-Brexit challenges of the future.

Stephen Purvis: A five point plan for a Blue North of England
