Tobias Ellwood: To flourish, our Party must stay in the centre ground – not march off to the right

We regularly describe ourselves as a broad church – and correctly so. Any alignment with the Brexit Party would see that width of appeal narrowed.

By Tobias Ellwood MP | 6 September 2019 | 229 comments

Lewis Baston: Disraeli’s “leap in the dark” towards modern democracy. 150 years on from the 1867 Reform Act.

Two cheers for a measure that, though mostly about managing, dividing and taming popular opinion, remains a reforming landmark.

Lewis Baston: Election gambles that worked. And those that failed – like May’s this year.

And those that never were, such as 1978, 1991 and 2007. Prime Ministers tend to make the opposite error to that of their predecessors.

Michael Tomlinson: The Conservatives – delivering to improve workers rights for over a century

As the Commons prepares to debates the effects of Brexit on these rights, here’s the story of how the Party has supplied them from Peel through to Cameron.

MPs will betray Britain’s future if they force May to show her negotiating hand. Now her supporters must fight back.

The key point at stake is not what Parliament has a right to do, but what it is wise to do – in the wake of the most emphatic popular vote in modern history.

The wit and wisdom of Nick Timothy. 9) Europe. Tory splits don’t just lose us elections; they mess up the country.

Lloyd George introduced a non-contributory system – unlike the contributions-based proposal from Chamberlain – and its legacy endures today.

By Paul Goodman | 14 July 2016

Lewis Baston: The Balfour Gambit failed altogether in 1906. But don’t rule out a future Prime Minister trying it again.

There may be a strange applicability for the future in the circumstances that led to the Liberals’ sweeping electoral triumph in 1906.

Lewis Baston: The General Election of 1900 – the narrow Conservative win that turned out to be an illusion

We cannot know yet whether 2015 was the start of a new ascendancy or whether, like 1900, it is an anomaly that posterity hardly notices.

By Lewis Baston | 12 June 2015 | 9 comments

Lewis Baston: When nationalists helped to pitch out a minority Conservative government. The general election of 1892.

Think of today’s two main parties led in 2015 by Nicholas Soames and Denis Healey and you are part of the way there.

By Lewis Baston | 17 April 2015 | 2 comments

Ed Miliband MP: To help realise Disraeli’s One Nation vision, you should vote Labour next week

My party seeks to build an economy which works for the many, not for the few.

By Ed Miliband | 15 May 2014 | 67 comments
