Georgia Gilholy: The assisted suicide lobby is desperate but we shouldn’t give in

The country has more urgent concerns: immigration, crime, energy, industry, housing. It is extraordinary that, at the whim of one backbencher and a well-funded lobby, Labour seems destined to be drawn into wasting time tearing itself apart still further over radical social change. The post Georgia Gilholy: The assisted suicide lobby is desperate but we shouldn’t give in appeared first on Conservative Home.

Brandon To: As an immigrant I’d say Britain’s policing isn’t “two-tier” – it’s too terrified

By reforming the guidance that currently paralyses our frontline, we can restore the confidence of our police officers. True anti-racism in policing should not be hesitation, but confidence that when the police act, they do so with the full, unbiased weight of the law behind them. The post Brandon To: As an immigrant I’d say Britain’s policing isn’t “two-tier” – it’s too terrified appeared first on Conservative Home.

Sarah Ingham: The past is the past and sometimes, when it comes to policing, it’s best left there

Today’s powder-keg Britain demands focus on resolving today’s problems. Social conditions in 1948 are irrelevant.  The public wants to be on the side of Police officers. For the country’s sake, the Police need to stay present.

Andrew Gilligan: No, Kemi, a social media ban won’t work

Just as we have the criminal law, and a police force to protect us from criminals, we need to decide as a nation what we want and do not want from social media, then set up an expert enforcement body – an algorithm patrol - and specialist court to see that we get it.   The post Andrew Gilligan: No, Kemi, a social media ban won’t work appeared first on Conservative Home.

The post David Gauke: The political lessons of the murder of Henry Nowak, are not just about policing and the law appeared first on Conservative Home.

Nick Timothy: You cannot treat people equally by treating them differently, that doesn’t make sense

Even in law enforcement and the criminal justice system – where officers and prosecutors and judges have a high degree of autonomy for obvious reasons – there must be accountability. Public authorities cannot be used to advance political agendas without consent.  The post Nick Timothy: You cannot treat people equally by treating them differently, that doesn’t make sense appeared first on Conservative Home.

Badenoch’s response to the Nowak murder is proof she is the serious candidate on the right

The message that Badenoch must send is that she will put country before party, and principles before political point scoring. It is not a complicated formula, and it will draw a very important, and necessary dividing line between her and any who seek to claim the Right as their own. The post Badenoch’s response to the Nowak murder is proof she is the serious candidate on the right appeared first on Conservative Home.
