The post Matthew Jeffery: The Long Read –  Kemi, it’s time to shuffle the pack appeared first on Conservative Home.

Thomas Heald: Scotland’s hospitality sector needs breathing space, not more burdens

David Gauke: The political lessons of the murder of Henry Nowak, are not just about policing and the law

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.

Jessaline Caine: One issue should unite the Right – tackling and ending the grooming gang scandal

Victims need evidence, prosecutions, proper safeguarding, transparent data and accountability for the adults who failed them. They were not symbols, slogans or props in someone else’s political war.

Lana Hempsall: The verdict on the government’s Right to Try regulations is that they need to try harder

The government’s new disability work regulations don’t go nearly far enough. Rather than picking up where Mel Stride left off and doing the hard work of getting the regulations right, they have simply grabbed the idea off the shelf, rushed it into policy, and called it done. The post Lana Hempsall: The verdict on the government’s Right to Try regulations is that they need to try harder appeared first on Conservative Home.

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.

Daniel Dieppe: Social media ban? We’re not even getting the basics right

While an Australia-style ban should probably be our end goal, our myopic-like view on the matter is yet another example of Britain’s painful parochialism stifling important political debate. By all means, introduce social media regulation, but let’s walk before we can run. The post Daniel Dieppe: Social media ban? We’re not even getting the basics right appeared first on Conservative Home.
