James Frayne: So how should the Conservatives talk with working class voters about the environment?

There is no reason a green agenda can’t be a winner in the Red Wall, but not if it’s just the usual bundle of middle-class concerns.

By James Frayne | 24 November 2020 | 54 comments

Robert Halfon: Who’s up for a Southern Research Group?

There is deprivation and lower educational attainment in the southern new towns, coastal communities, inner cities and rural coldspots.

By Robert Halfon MP | 18 November 2020 | 69 comments

Ryan Bourne: A British overspill from America’s result. Why the debate on the right over economics will now intensify.

Stateside narratives have a tendency to be imported into UK politics – one of the knock-on effects of this messy Presidential election outcome.

By Ryan Bourne | 11 November 2020 | 11 comments

James Frayne: Perhaps the Conservatives should simply revert to being southern and posh

If they can’t make a real impact on the lives of working class voters in provincial seats, Johnson will meet the same electoral fate as Trump.

By James Frayne | 10 November 2020 | 40 comments

James Frayne: Coastal towns – next for the Conservatives after the Red Wall seats. And essential for a shore-to-shore majority.

I will be returning regularly to this theme: the need to create a mainstream English and Welsh majority from shore to shore.

By James Frayne | 13 October 2020 | 54 comments

Darren Grimes: Out of office but in power. How the Left keeps losing elections, yet gets its way nonetheless.

Each time rioting is ignored by the police, we move one stop closer to allowing a tyrannical Twitter-dwelling minority to become very powerful indeed.

By Darren Grimes | 26 August 2020 | 101 comments

James Frayne: Our national political conversation is unrepresentative. Metro London is heard loud and clear. The provinces, scarcely at all.

They don’t talk about politics in daily life; don’t write to local or national newspapers; most importantly, they’re not politically active online.

By James Frayne | 18 August 2020 | 94 comments

Johnson benefits from the scorn of critics such as Parris, for it suggests the Prime Minister is still an outsider

I have decided to write a second volume of my life of Johnson, who has always been an affront to serious-minded people’s idea of politics.

By Andrew Gimson | 28 July 2020 | 127 comments

Raghib Ali: Systemic classism, not racism. Why the main factor in health and educational inequalities is deprivation, not race.

There is now no overall ‘white privilege’ in health or education or overall ‘BAME disadvantage’. These categories are outdated and unhelpful.

By Dr Raghib Ali | 21 July 2020 | 15 comments

Alex Story: The Government needs to end the State’s fixation on race

Poor, white, working-class children are the group most in need to help. But theirs is not a fashionable cause.

By Alex Story | 2 July 2020 | 45 comments

Anand Menon: Our latest research finds that the Conservatives are divided on economics, but united on culture.

The Tories have an interest in a focus on values. Reports suggest that some in Downing Street are encouraging Johnson to launch a ‘war on woke’.

By Anand Menon | 30 June 2020 | 49 comments

David Skelton: Snobbery against the white working-class is all too common on the Left

In many cases, they are ridiculed, stereotyped and portrayed as somewhere between bigoted and racist.

By David Skelton | 25 June 2020 | 105 comments

For Johnson and the Conservatives, the power of patriotism is a plus

As with Brexit, the fundamentals of the Tory position are much stronger than they may seem to be.

By Paul Goodman | 22 June 2020 | 289 comments

Neil O’Brien: Like fax machines, pagers and your old macarena CD, it’s time to bin the 1990s

The ideas of that decade are still with us, staggering around like a zombie in a garish “Global Hypercolor” t-shirt.

By Neil O Brien MP | 15 June 2020 | 49 comments

Race and justice – not just a black and white issue

As a rule, the Conservatives are unclear about the politics of equality and identity. But there’s at least one Minister who isn’t.
