Nick Timothy: You cannot treat people equally by treating them differently, that doesn’t make sense

Even in law enforcement and the criminal justice system – where officers and prosecutors and judges have a high degree of autonomy for obvious reasons – there must be accountability. Public authorities cannot be used to advance political agendas without consent.  The post Nick Timothy: You cannot treat people equally by treating them differently, that doesn’t make sense appeared first on Conservative Home.

Jessaline Caine: One issue should unite the Right – tackling and ending the grooming gang scandal

Victims need evidence, prosecutions, proper safeguarding, transparent data and accountability for the adults who failed them. They were not symbols, slogans or props in someone else’s political war. They were children. And the adults failed them. The post Jessaline Caine: One issue should unite the Right – tackling and ending the grooming gang scandal appeared first on Conservative Home.

You shuffle if you want to, but the ‘lady’ isn’t dealing right now

Right now, who is going to bet that any of the current Cabinet will be in their current role by the end of this year. Whatever happens in the Labour civil war, the Opposition shouldn't interfere, and simply adapt to what emerges at the end of it all.  The post You shuffle if you want to, but the ‘lady’ isn’t dealing right now appeared first on Conservative Home.

George Beglan: The tax system has a hidden free-rider problem

Child-rearing generates massive public returns. We price it as a private cost. That is not sustainable. A tax system designed in the mid-twentieth century for a very different demographic trajectory is producing predictable results.

Laurence Fredricks: Building in Britain could have a Burnham problem

The answer is not to berate the commodification of housing, or treat housing as a public service to be commanded into existence. It is to fix the planning system, restore viability, and give the market the conditions it needs to deliver. The post Laurence Fredricks: Building in Britain could have a Burnham problem appeared first on Conservative Home.

Ranj Alaaldin: Why Kemi should lead the Tories into the next two elections

The surest way to lose the electorate is to repeat the mistake of believing that a different face at the despatch box will save the party. Let Kemi finish the job of rebuilding and rehabilitating the party, and to give voters a reason to come home. The post Ranj Alaaldin: Why Kemi should lead the Tories into the next two elections appeared first on Conservative Home.

James Mahone: The £4.6 Billion of public money distributed by Arts Council England and the questions nobody is asking

Public trust depends on transparency. We currently have billions of pounds of our money being distributed by an institution that is refusing to explain decision making patterns. The refusal also included not disclosing even coded or anonymised rejection reasoning. The post James Mahone: The £4.6 Billion of public money distributed by Arts Council England and the questions nobody is asking appeared first on Conservative Home.

Charles Amos: In defence of the driving test touts

This change to driving tests will not help the genuinely needy, its ambition to fairness is irrelevant, and, the exploitation mentioned is overstated at best to non-existent. Ultimately, price caps don’t work – and a driving test price cap is no different.  The post Charles Amos: In defence of the driving test touts appeared first on Conservative Home.

Our Survey: Could Conservatives bring themselves to vote tactically or back a pact?

Twin by-elections have unleashed a fresh discourse: should there be some sort of electoral pact between the Tories and Reform? The option has been floated by two Conservatives – one current MP, one former MP – as a way of consolidating the right and holding back Burnham, whom they regard as disastrous for the economy.

Our Survey: Tories expect Burnham to lead Labour to the next election but would ‘prefer’ Starmer did

For Conservative members Andy Burnham was out in front, ten points ahead of Keir Starmer, as to whom they expected to lead into an election, and that was before the rows of this week, but who'd they'd prefer to lead told a different story. Not one Starmer would enjoy. The post Our Survey: Tories expect Burnham to lead Labour to the next election but would ‘prefer’ Starmer did appeared first on Conservative Home.

Benjamin Elks: Last year, a record 4,733 council employees earned over £100,000

320 council staff had higher salary entitlements than the prime minister’s £172,153. Whatever you think of the current occupant of Number 10 (however long he has left), most people will find it hard to understand why someone working at their local council is getting more than he is.
