Matthew Taylor: Why I’m standing to be the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk

Whether the role survives beyond 2028 is, in one sense, beside the point. The people of Norfolk still deserve someone prepared to spend every day of the next two years making their communities safer.

Andrew Murrison: No Sir, THIS is your country!

Britain does not need more sensitive foreign policy. It needs a robust and serious one. We can acknowledge our history without being imprisoned by it. We can act ethically without surrendering strategically. But we cannot continue with a diplomatic service that seeks absolution where it should be seeking advantage.

Charles Amos: Your ex-girlfriend may soon be allowed to legally steal your furniture

Lammy’s proposed reforms simply amount to legalising theft by long-term girlfriends from their long-term property-owning boyfriends. Every argument in favour of it, from fairness as household contribution, fairness as equality to protecting vulnerable women is spurious. The post Charles Amos: Your ex-girlfriend may soon be allowed to legally steal your furniture appeared first on Conservative Home.

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

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.
