Today, arguing the rights and wrongs of the Middle East’s problems, especially if those rights are Palestinian and the wrongs anybody with the remotest connection to a being jewish, is made both virtuous and acceptable in a newspaper and our wider public discourse.
ConservativeHome’s round-up of ten of our best articles from the preceding week.
If we can all find a way to choose candidates and foster MPs who are skeleton and even closet free, and just a bit more ‘normal’ to a majority of the electorate, we wouldn’t be doing ourselves a favour. We’d be doing everyone a favour.
A due diligence report to Starmer spelt out the reputational risks in plain English. The real question is not what the Prime Minister didn’t know. It is why, having been told what he did know, he went ahead anyway.
Nobody sane likes war, and those that do seldom fight them. Badenoch isn’t itching to ‘do war’. She’s advocating defending British interests, and if you think Starmer hasn’t damaged those then you are living in an isolationist virtue bubble.
The failed Labour leader, now Energy Secretary, is increasingly tipped as a possible Chancellor in a post–Keir Starmer world. But we may not need to speculate about what he would be like in No11. In many ways, the Miliband chancellorship is already on display.
43.7 per cent of members said it was likely there would be more defections of senior Tories and 12 per cent highly likely. Which begs the question: of those 57 per cent, who exactly do they think it might be?
ConservativeHome’s round-up of ten of our best articles from the preceding week.
Support for the Tory leader climbs in our latest ConHome survey, with more than 80 per cent now wanting her to lead the party into the next election – despite divisions over a Reform UK pact.
The Conservative leader is literally leading from the front, with one of her highest results in our league table. But the ‘Badenoch bounce’ remains about her, and getting any translation into a rise for the party is still gruelling ongoing work
Churchill fought a war having argued for years that Britain was economically and militarily unprepared. Starmer is trying not to fight a war arguing via his Chancellor that never before has so much been promised for defence. For so little return when it matters, it seems.
As their pay rises above £100,000, MPs will feel the full absurdity of Britain’s hidden 60 per cent marginal rate. They may finally rediscover the case for growth.
Those appeasers of the Ayatollahs who are self-styled “progressives” should be treated with derision.
