Georgiana Bristol: It’s oil and gas wot won it

Whilst the impact of energy policy is felt more keenly on the ground in Aberdeen than anywhere else, there are lessons that the Conservatives can take from this. A relentless focus on good jobs.

Now what are we to ‘Makereth’ of all that? The Tories win, Reform don’t, and yet both might take a hit from this

Burnham won. He didn't squeak it. Restore in the end were as irrelevant as the Tories. And the Tories beat the odds and the SNP in Aberdeen. So if you've been told for two years that the Conservatives are 'dead, finished, over' - the results this morning are Lab 1, Cons 1, Reform 0. The post Now what are we to ‘Makereth’ of all that? The Tories win, Reform don’t, and yet both might take a hit from this appeared first on Conservative Home.

Reva Gudi: When told ‘this is not how we do it in the NHS’ – I’ve started asking ‘Why not?’ even if that’s risky

Despite decades of 'reforms' that weren't really, the fundamental problems - waiting lists, workforce shortages, broken relationship with social care and the list goes on- are largely intact. All of this in the face of growing demand and finite resources. The post Reva Gudi: When told ‘this is not how we do it in the NHS’ – I’ve started asking ‘Why not?’ even if that’s risky appeared first on Conservative Home.

James Fisk: The clock is ticking for Tories to properly embrace TikTok or kiss advantage goodbye

We are and have been the most successful political party in the world because of our ability to adapt. TikTok is where voters are. This is not going to change, and as Tiktok continues to grow the case against talking to voters where they are active, and engaged becomes indefensible.

Emma Revell: The tribunal system has morphed from escape valve for the courts into a grievance machine

The entire system has become swollen, costly and damaging to growth and contains a fundamental mismatch of incentives. Indeed, even the judges themselves haven’t held back from expressing their frustration with the system.

Will Makerfield force the Right to unite?

John Oxley: ‘Hear that internet curfew bell toll? It tolls for thee, kid, even if we think you can vote’

If 16 and 17-year-olds are deserving of the franchise and capable of choosing, the state should start from that assumption. In that world, internet curfews for almost adults make little sense. But if being online in the evening imperils them, then keep harmonising things around age 18. The post John Oxley: ‘Hear that internet curfew bell toll? It tolls for thee, kid, even if we think you can vote’ appeared first on Conservative Home.
