Why does anyone take Restore Britain seriously?

The results in Manchester, and Rupert Lowe’s stunt, will be seized upon by many as proof that the right must unite, and that the Conservatives are dead. Both conclusions are wrong. Bowing to the demands of tacky populists would be the ultimate humiliation, and one by-election result in a Labour heartland should not dictate the Tories’ direction of travel.  The post Why does anyone take Restore Britain seriously? appeared first on Conservative Home.

Rick Moore: Spite dressed up as policy – why Reform’s detention centre plan is is wrong on so many levels

Reva Gudi: No ID is required for NHS care, but GP receptionists should not be immigration officials

NHS care may be free at the point of use, but it is never free to provide. This is not an argument about immigration.

The post Reva Gudi: No ID is required for NHS care, but GP receptionists should not be immigration officials appeared first on Conservative Home.

Jon Hollis: Why the tigers on the Right can’t ‘all just get along’

Conservatives need to persuade decent Reform supporters that they should vote for the Conservative Party.
