John Redwood: Manchesterism won’t work

If Mr Burnham really wants to go for growth he will need lower taxes, cheaper energy, a roll back of net zero self harm, and more incentive for people to get a job and set up businesses. His wannabe advisers want more spending, more borrowing, more benefits, more socialism. That did not work in the 1970s and will not work now.  The post John Redwood: Manchesterism won’t work appeared first on Conservative Home.

Miriam Cates: Kim Leadbeater, like Keir Starmer, needs to be told the game is up

In this context, facing likely defeat and provoking certain division, it would be madness for Lauren Edwards’ new Bill to pass. It is time a delegation paid Ms Leadbeater and Ms Edwards a visit and put their Bill out of its misery. Andy Burnham would breathe a sigh of relief.

Chris Philp: Labour Ministers are weakening our borders as they pander to the left. Only the Conservatives have a plan to fix this

My message to Andy Burnham is this: stick with the ILR policy Labour copied from us last autumn. Don’t weaken it. And adopt the tough further measures the Conservatives have set out.

Lord Ashcroft: ‘Who is this person?’ – My focus groups on the Starmer Burnham transition

My latest focus groups took place in Plymouth, Exeter, Mansfield and Rushcliffe, where voters from a range of political backgrounds reflected on Keir Starmer’s resignation, the ascent of Andy Burnham, and whether any of it would make any difference.

Brandon To: Why the Thames Water crisis is a failure of market accountability

Conservatives should not abandon their belief in free markets because of Thames Water. But we should remember a lesson that even Adam Smith would have recognised: capitalism requires competition, and where competition is impossible, accountability becomes even more important. The post Brandon To: Why the Thames Water crisis is a failure of market accountability appeared first on Conservative Home.

Whilst Burnham plays buzzword bingo, Badenoch offers a breath of fresh air

It was a ponzi scheme of policy, with each successive idea being bolstered not through substance but yet more buzzwords. A sort of Jenga tower of ideas, the base of which is weak and faltering, preparing to collapse under the weight of public scrutiny at any moment. The post Whilst Burnham plays buzzword bingo, Badenoch offers a breath of fresh air appeared first on Conservative Home.

Peter Franklin: One big decision Burnham may yet surprise us with brings bigger risks for the Conservatives

Badenoch has gone out of her way to reject any deal with Reform. Her exact words on the possibility are "no, no, no, no, no, no, no". This really doesn’t look like a mere delaying tactic. Indeed, I’d suggest it’s an integral part of a survival plan for an early general election.

Peter Bedford: Controlling and reducing the welfare bill is not austerity but an act of fairness

When someone works overtime and ends up worse off than the household next door that does not work at all, fairness hasn't bent, it's snapped. Faced with a chance to bring welfare increases under control, Labour chose to duck the hard choice and hand the next generation the bill.
