Our top ten picks of the week
This deserves loud pushback.
Why the Conservatives need new faces again
Tali Fraser
“Reform’s recruitment of old Tory names has handed Kemi Badenoch a chance to draw a clear dividing line – if she is willing to be bold with her newest MPs.”
—
The New Right, then and now
Karl Williams
“The most intense intellectual innovation happens around fissures where thinkers are in conscious tension with one another. But this process could also be seen as creating the soil in which new and hybrid ideas can take root and grow.”
—
All out council elections offer better value than electing in thirds
Elliot Keck
“Of the ten councils who spend the most on their local elections, all but one elects by thirds, with only Croydon, the tenth most expensive, electing in wholes.”
—
The past is a foreign country
Henry Hill
“Few of the revenants rallying behind Prosper UK’s grave-linen standard need much explaining. Most were backers or beneficiaries of David Cameron’s ‘modernisation’ efforts; they were, almost definitionally, the future. Now they’re not. ”
—
MPs who defect will find it harder to make a difference outside the Opposition

Peter Franklin
“Gorton and Denton is stony ground for the Conservatives. If we’re nowhere near to recovering the Red Wall, then this contest offers no hope at all. So, from our point of view, what would be the best of all realistic outcomes? The Greens?”
—
It seems Starmer wants a deal with China at any cost – and he may have already paid for it
Giles Dilnot
“The strong suspicion is Starmer bought his ticket to China by his government putting their thumb on the scales on a number of issues where the eventual outcome was of benefit to the Chinese. Moreover will any deal actually be worth what it promises?”
—
Thanks, Ruth and Andy – but the era of managerialism is dead
James Wright
“If we retreat into the comfort of 2010s nostalgia, we will abandon the future to the radicals who are waiting to fill the void.”
—
The Conservatives can afford to live longer if they ‘Prosper’
David Gauke
“Prosper UK wants to give voice to a yearning for politics that is serious, realistic, and pragmatic. …
