Callum Price: Is Britain Broken? We decided to find out

The question about whether Britain is broken or not is then effectively moot. Few dispute that there are serious problems that need solving. What matters is what they are and how we solve them. The ‘what’ is easy, the ‘how’ is somewhat trickier. The post Callum Price: Is Britain Broken? We decided to find out appeared first on Conservative Home.

Badenoch’s response to the Nowak murder is proof she is the serious candidate on the right

The message that Badenoch must send is that she will put country before party, and principles before political point scoring. 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.

John Oxley: When underfunded risks being undefended, missing a deadline can be deadly

We are already years behind in properly and adequately funding defence for the challenges we face. Deferring comes with real costs to both our armed forces and the companies that supply them.

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.

Kitty Thompson: Finally, a ‘Cool Britannia’ we can get behind

Adaptation demands abundance. More trees, windows, water, shade - and more cool air. Above all, it requires policymakers to stop treating comfort as frivolous.

Miriam Cates: Can anything be done to stop Britain’s right-wing splintering?
