ConHome's tweet card. The story highlights the necessity for increased vigilance when making appointments for all positions of influence within the ranks of the Civil Service, the Spads and Party employees.

A reshuffle without a story: Tories left unmoved by Badenoch’s shadow cabinet tweak conservativehome.com/2025/07/25/a-r…

ConHome's tweet card. The pervasive feeling at the heart of many Tory nerves is that "she just doesn’t have the knowledge of where to go next".

From @fletcher_rt: Britain should learn from Singapore that history is essential to cementing a state conservativehome.com/2025/07/25/raf…

ConHome's tweet card. Instead of drawing on our national story, we’re embarrassed by it and instead compress our identity into a narrative barely older than Singapore’s independence. We’re a much older country with a much...

From @matthew_elliott: Reeves needs urgently to make it easier for business to create jobs conservativehome.com/2025/07/25/mat…

ConHome's tweet card. Tackling welfare and getting Britain working shouldn’t be seen a party-political matter, but instead as a national mission.

From @JohnBaldLangLit: Reflections on the Gove/Cummings legacy for our schools conservativehome.com/2025/07/25/joh…

ConHome's tweet card. Cummings and Gove have the satisfaction of knowing that Labour has accepted their main policy objective - academy trusts; is not ditching phonics; and seems unlikely to bring back the AS examination.

From Alex Cobb: If the centre-right wants to win again, it needs a digital reboot conservativehome.com/2025/07/24/ale…

ConHome's tweet card. Digital infrastructure supports and scales your campaign. If your activists can’t find campaign events, if new members can’t get involved, and if young people feel alienated by bad websites and...

From Sanjoy Sen: Getting public transport back on track conservativehome.com/2025/07/24/san…

ConHome's tweet card. It seems the British public have lost faith that governments can deliver decent public transport for their cities. Once upon a time, the Conservatives were actually pretty serious about all this.

From @callumtprice: If Labour wants growth, it should scrap the Employment Rights Bill conservativehome.com/2025/07/24/cal…

ConHome's tweet card. It cannot be right that our regulatory system means that courts decide if wages are fair rather than a market based on mutual agreement; it certainly isn’t productive.

Badenoch, Milei, and the conservatism of words versus deeds conservativehome.com/2025/07/24/bad…

ConHome's tweet card. She has purchased unity at the price of perpetuating the irreal politics of hoping to deliver transformational change without having to actually change very much.

From @Mr_John_Oxley: Dodgy high-street shops are emblems of our backwards approach to enforcing the law conservativehome.com/2025/07/24/joh…

ConHome's tweet card. Britain has become addicted to heaping ever-more onerous compliance burdens on the law-abiding whilst refusing to actually enforce the rules on those that break them.

From @VictoriaAtkins: Rural and coastal communities cannot withstand the battering Labour is giving them conservativehome.com/2025/07/24/vic…

ConHome's tweet card. Improving rural life - from economy and infrastructure to housing, education, and healthcare - needs a joined-up government approach. We are working to build that. And I want to hear from you.

From @ElliotKeck: We need a referendum cap on tax rises from parish councils conservativehome.com/2025/07/24/ell…

ConHome's tweet card. In Taunton, the parish council precept increased by 173 per cent from £110 to £299. That is more in both percentage and nominal terms than the increase levied by the unitary authority which they sit...

From @gracelunn2: Reform can't admit that immigration is merely a symptom of Britain's real problems conservativehome.com/2025/07/23/gra…

ConHome's tweet card. It's easier to peddle easy answers than ask voters to confront the fact that, too often, imported workers are simply doing jobs locals refused.

Thomas Borwick: Votes at 16 displays a glaring policy gap conservativehome.com/2025/07/23/tho…

ConHome's tweet card. While the moral and democratic arguments for lowering the voting age are widely discussed, far less attention is paid to the practical consequences.

From @jamespriceglos: What Alex Burghart’s speech tells us about the Tories intellectual firepower conservativehome.com/2025/07/23/jam…

ConHome's tweet card. More doom was to come during this funny, detailed speech, delivered with no notes from a rising star of the party, sometimes described as the de facto deputy leader.

The Tories and Labour are ‘making plans for Nigel’ but only one might scupper ‘what’s best for him’ conservativehome.com/2025/07/23/the…

ConHome's tweet card. Could it be that as one prominent shadow cabinet member puts it, and that ardent Reform fans will no doubt relish, that the fight in a few years becomes increasingly between the Tories and Reform?...
