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 at 11:00 am | 52 comments

James Frayne: Covid-10. Seven action points for Ministers – as pressure rises on the Government

Forget the polls. Be honest about risk. Understand the English. Use scientists less. Deploy Sunak more. Drop the technical language and work with others.

James Frayne: Do voters care about breaking international law, and if so, how much?

An important point to consider is whether or not respect for the way all law works has declined.

James Frayne: Big tax rises would make Tory campaigning impossible – in Red Wall seats as well as traditionally blue ones

The public would catch up when growth slowed and redundancies rose. It would become clear that raising taxes on employers doesn’t help anyone.

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 at 12:00 pm | 94 comments

James Frayne: Churchill – and why the conservative movement would win a culture war. But it would be unpleasant and divisive.

Voters will support a balanced narrative about Britain’s past in our schools, but they will want children to feel mostly pride in our past.

James Frayne: We should prepare ourselves to hear horrifying tales of what’s happened in lockdown Britain

Getting the economy moving won’t even begin to give the Government political momentum. It will need to conduct its own Fairness Audit.

By James Frayne | 9 June 2020 at 10:30 am | 75 comments

James Frayne: Nine thousand jobs lost at Rolls Royce. The damage that the virus is wreaking on provincial Britain is terrible – and will last

It’s not only a matter of highly-skilled jobs for working class people. Firms like these gives cities like Derby a sense of immense civic pride.

By James Frayne | 26 May 2020 at 10:30 am | 57 comments

James Frayne: More welfare spending. A business tax avoidance clampdown. The new economic policy that voters will want.

One area that has had relatively little attention, but could get much more, is the behaviour of commercial landlords across the country.

By James Frayne | 12 May 2020 at 11:00 am | 68 comments

James Frayne: The Coronavirus will radically recharge our national debate about fairness and justice

The mass of the public will demand answers to questions that previously had relatively limited appea – such as: why the postcode lottery in healthcare?

By James Frayne | 28 April 2020 at 11:00 am | 105 comments

James Frayne: Public opinion on the lockdown is a rapidly ticking timebomb

If employers consider themselves to be heading for catastrophe, it suggests that the wider public will catch up before too long.

By James Frayne | 14 April 2020 at 11:00 am | 49 comments

James Frayne: Public opinion is solidly behind the Government – for the time being, at least.

Very few businesses could survive a lockdown of the type we’re currently in for six months. A sustained one will have to be more focused.

By James Frayne | 31 March 2020 at 11:00 am | 102 comments

James Frayne: The challenges of the Coronavirus to working families outside the prosperous South East

What about the impact on domestic violence, with everyone stuck in their own homes? And on those with serious but non-life threatening health problems?

By James Frayne | 17 March 2020 at 10:30 am | 21 comments

James Frayne: The BBC’s growing problem isn’t public hostility. It’s apathy. Fewer people see the point of it.

The trust factor is simply less relevant, because fewer people are accessing the Corporation’s output in the first place.

James Frayne: Seven non-Leave players who helped to make Brexit happen

All those named inadvertently paved the way for Britain’s exit. They feature an American President, a Supreme Court judge – and a quango.
