Why did the general election go wrong for May?

“The low point of the Conservative campaign has followed the manifesto launch,” we wrote. “The social care policy tanked, and Tory poll ratings fell with it.”

J.P.Floru: How to inoculate your children against socialism

What can parents do? Avoid reading Robin Hood as a bedtime story? I asked around, and came up with a few answers.

What price democracy?

YouGov characterises those people who think democracy is more important than money as “extremists”.

ConservativeHome’s new monthly survey is out

We now have eleven runners and riders in our Next Tory Leader section…with another 15 candidates standing by. Watch this space.

Next Tory leader. A YouGov poll echoes ConHome’s survey result: Davis first, Johnson second, and none of the above beating both.

These are early days. But, on these findings, it isn’t worth commissioning expensive polls when one can simply read our survey each month for free.

Nadhim Zahawi: While Corbyn plays to the gallery, we Conservatives have work to do

The Queen’s Speech provides concrete facts to grip on to and analyse, and a clear indicator of how the Government intends to lead our country.

The Party is damned if she goes quickly, and damned if she doesn’t. And, all the while, the threat of a no confidence challenge hangs over her head.

Gimson’s election sketch: On the morning after, the press revels in a great story

No word of sympathy for Theresa May could be heard. The speculation was whether David Davis or Boris Johnson would succeed her.

Iain Dale: No, Corbyn hasn’t pulled off a triumph. A defeat is a defeat is a defeat.
