How The Conservatives And Business Need To Work Together To Save The Job Creating Sectors

Should Fred Goodwin have lost his knighthood? Should Stephen Hester have been forced to give up his bonus? Should the Coalition be proposing new taxes on the wealthy? Individual pro-enterprise people will answer these individual questions in different ways but the climate adds up to something that’s not attractive to investors, risk-takers and job creators. [...]

Which Senior Ministers Are In Line For Cabinet Promotion?

Chris Grayling and Damian Green popped up in the Daily Telegraph earlier today, publishing a joint article about immigration and benefits. It is unusual for a paper to carry an article by Ministers of other than Cabinet rank. So one might have expected the joint by-line to be that of their two Secretaries of State, [...]

Roundtable Event with 2010 Intake

ConservativeIntelligence hosted a lunch for Silver and Dining Club Members with guest speakers: Margot James MP, David Nuttall MP, Priti Patel MP and Dominic Raab MP.

It’s Miliband, not Salmond or Osborne, who holds the Union’s future in his hands

“Who’s winning the battle for Scotland?” There are two starkly different answers to the question after last weekend’s move by George Osborne and Danny Alexander to carry the fight over Scotland’s future to Alex Salmond. The first is that to date the UK Government is the winner: that the ambush mounted last weekend over the [...]

Back To Earth After The Veto

Have you taken your decorations down? It’s twelfth night. Christmas is over. It’s wet, windy, cold and we’ve all headed back to work. The joy of the Christmas break becomes the January of credit card bills. I’ll stop there before I depress you further! My laboured point is that, despite Cameron’s very upbeat new year [...]

Angry Lib Dems Will Get Their Revenge But Perhaps Not On Europe

Cameron got his best ever reception at the 1922 Committee of Tory backbenchers on Wednesday night. They thumped their desks with a passion that they’d never done before and I mean ‘never’. The warmth with which Cameron was received by the ’22 was by all accounts unique during his leadership. Receiving the applause he apparently [...]

Cameron’s Steeplechase by Moonlight

The core of the argument for Britain’s EU membership is that we must be at the heart of Europe to enjoy prosperity and influence. The heart of Europe is now set to be the 17, not the 27 – or, to be strictly accurate, perhaps more than 17 (perhaps as many as 26) or perhaps [...]

Members Post Autumn Statement Q&A

ConservativeIntelligence Members were invited to a Post Autumn Statement briefing and Q&A. The ConHome team, together with James Forsyth, Political Editor of The Spectator, and Andrew Lilico of Europe Economics, reviewed the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement and the impact of current measures being taken by the Government, along with other topics. Here is Tim’s survey of 1,340 [...]

How Cameron Will Try To Fight The 1992 General Election In 2015

Most elections pare down to two primal instincts – hope and fear. The Opposition’s goal is to evoke hope: as Tony Blair put it in 1997, “Things can only get better”. The Government’s aim is to stir fear: “Britain is booming. Don’t let Labour ruin it”, as John Major countered. And the classic aim of [...]
