Matthew Eason: That was your prime ministerial life, Sir Keir

The man who came to power on the backs of other politicians’ failures – successful solely at not being his opponents, has proven unable to use his majority to set or stay true to any policy agenda. A PM who had to back down and support the election of the rival who has forced him out. The post Matthew Eason: That was your prime ministerial life, Sir Keir appeared first on Conservative Home.

Matthew Jeffery: The Long Read: Defining ‘Kemistry’ – what might Badenochism be?

The question Badenoch keeps returning to is disarmingly simple: can government still do what it says it will do? That may prove to be one of the defining political questions of the next decade. Kemistry is her answer, and the standard by which it will ultimately be judged. The post Matthew Jeffery: The Long Read: Defining ‘Kemistry’ – what might Badenochism be? appeared first on Conservative Home.

Liz Truss: ‘There’s no political party at present in Britain that represents exactly what I think’

Truss made it clear that to, in her words, “save Britain” and to “save the west” that “very bold change” is needed. Who this change comes from is anybody’s guess, but she is confident that a conservative solution to the issues currently facing the country “needs to be possible.”  The post Liz Truss: ‘There’s no political party at present in Britain that represents exactly what I think’ appeared first on Conservative Home.

Katie Lam: What did Starmer actually achieve?

Regardless of the churn at the top, the fundamentals remain the same. Labour will not secure our borders, they will not cut our ballooning welfare bill, and they will not do what’s necessary to keep our country safe. They are simply not dispositionally or ideologically capable of making the trade-offs that we need to make in order to fix any of these problems.

Mario Creatura and Oliver Middleton: Aspiration must be at the heart of Conservative renewal

Under Kemi Badenoch’s leadership, Conservatives have an opportunity to rebuild around the things that have always made our party strongest, including work, ownership, enterprise, family and responsibility. Aspiration can turn those beliefs into something voters immediately understand.

Andrew Johnson: We may be preparing for the wrong election

Political history is littered with leaders who sought to capitalise on favourable conditions rather than wait for them to deteriorate. Elections are rarely called because circumstances cannot get worse, they are called because prime ministers believe circumstances are unlikely to get better. The post Andrew Johnson: We may be preparing for the wrong election appeared first on Conservative Home.

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.

Rob Marston: Looking after our veterans is part of looking after our national security

We cannot ask more of our Armed Forces without doing more for those who have served. If we want future generations to join the Armed Forces, they must be shown that they will be properly supported when their service ends.

Rory Broomfield: We need to look forward and seize some of the Brexit opportunities that remain untouched

Adopting an open, market-based approach could offer a refreshing alternative to the status quo. The future can be a great one - only if the Brexit opportunities are embraced. The political party that does could very well win the next General Election. The post Rory Broomfield: We need to look forward and seize some of the Brexit opportunities that remain untouched appeared first on Conservative Home.

The ‘mastermind’ of Brexit looks back – 10 years later

Having gone through 6 prime ministers and 3 general elections, it would be foolish to deny that Brexit has had a lasting impact on Britain. Whether such an impact has been positive or negative is for the public to decide, but Lord Elliott most definitely believes that it has been a positive experience.

David Willetts: A decade of Brexit reverberations have hampered growth and may have made Britain harder to govern

Right now the big question is how to tackle the poor performance of the British economy and the reasons behind it. Not all are Brexit related, but it's important to address those that are. We aren't going back in, but we should still investigate, for our own good, the Brexit effect.
