The election in which the Conservatives finally waved farewell to Thatcher’s ghost

Johnson is a self-described “Brexity Hezza” and now has the chance to mould a Party and country in his own romantic image.

Howard Flight: The Party must have an elected Chairman – and local Associations that take back control

The truth is that the Conservative system was not broke before 1998 and didn’t need fixing; and that the 1998 constitutional reforms were a failure.

John Strafford: The Conservative Party no longer belongs to its members. No wonder it faces an existential crisis.

If we do not leave the E.U. on terms that are acceptable to the members of the Party, large numbers will leave it. Here’s how we got here.

Profile: David Lidington – the Tory loyalist diverging from his leader over Brexit. And now tipped as her successor.

At the heart of May’s operation, this staunch Conservative is now mulling potential ways to a second referendum with Labour MPs.

Iain Dale: The Prime Minister put in a superb Parliamentary performance yesterday

Plus: But her deal’s so bad I’d rather Remain. Robbins is the real Rasputin, not Timothy. Would I really vote Tory tomorrow? And: Carry on Cocks and Dicks.

Changing the Prime Minister, in itself, would solve nothing

A new leader would need a new plan to reverse this evident humiliation of May’s leadership and of British statecraft.

Andrew Green: Norway, for now or forever, isn’t the way to travel. It would mean no real control of migration from Europe.

There are indeed mechanisms for mitigating damaging immigration flows, but these are tightly constrained.

May’s Brexit plan raises UKIP from the dead

And, late in the day, the Prime Minister bows to our advice, and rushes on to Marr, today, to make the case for her new proposals.

Tim Bale: Why the real Conservative membership figure matters to the whole country – not just the party

Sooner or later, it will hold a leadership contest in which its members will actually get to decide the winner – and perhaps our next Prime Minister.

Peter Franklin: Ruling political tribes 2) The Conservatives. Gove is now in a position to emerge as kingmaker – or, just maybe, as King.

But unless his fully-developed vision of the future can capture heart-and-minds, I’d expect control of the party to stay with the mainstream.

Iain Dale: Fox was right. Most European countries need to bury their twentieth century history.

Plus: Hammond’s blunder. Peers’ folly. Stephen Hawking is not, repeat not, controlled by MI5. And: my inner Mary Whitehouse meets Katie Hopkins’ slack vagina.

Johnson has more urgent business to hand than running the country

The most senior Minister in place at home has a great task before him – helping his country find a new international role (and restoring the morale of an exhausted department).

Fiona Bruce, Fiona Hodgson and Benedict Rogers: The new Government should speak out on China’s human rights abuses

Human rights should be at the very heart of foreign policy.

Cameron’s last full day as Prime Minister. At his best, he made very difficult things look easy

The media never understood him, and was surprised both by his successes and his failures.

Peter Lilley, champion of the NHS

Far from being a johnny-come-lately to the cause of defending the National Health Service, support for it once cost the former Cabinet Minister his job.
