Making the case for positive Conservative ideas that work for everyone in all parts of our great country.
All regions. All generations. All communities.
There has been too little focus on what the Conservative family agrees on in recent days, so I have written for @WholeNationCons on the big picture vision we share, how Kemi's red lines fit within it, and why we should disagree in a more constructive way

Breaking:
Al Carns has refused to take a role in Burnham’s government - he says that the defence issue has not been ‘settled’
Puts more pressure on Burnham to set out a path for spending 3 per cent of GDP on defence
‘To take another role now, in another department, would suggest that it has. Until the country is spending what it needs to spend on its own defence, my job is to keep making that case, honestly and constructively, from the backbenches’
Kemi is spot on to recognise that it is the common ground we must speak for rather than the so-called centre ground. Great to see lots of alignment with the priorities I highlighted for @WholeNationCons yesterday 😀
After a bit of a break, @WholeNationCons returns with my take on the challenges to @Conservatives from both flanks in recent weeks, why we still have the best claim to the common ground, and where @KemiBadenoch should go from here.

Great to write for @WholeNationCons about some really foundational problems we're walking into: the vanishing common ground, the communication trap and the demographic time bomb 👇
There's trouble ahead...
This week @IgraineGray outlines three political icebergs that look set to sink us if we do not learn our lessons 👇

Lots of headlines this week on the unaffordable nature of our current spending commitments so interesting to think about what the focus of the state should be for this week's @WholeNationCons piece
This week @MirandaJupp gives a very topical look at what the role of the state should be in an era of economic uncertainty and growing demographic pressures 👇

Great to write for @WholeNationCons this week about how we must stop creating political sacred cows if we are to deliver for the British people & keep on delivering.
Whether it be the NHS, the Triple Lock, the ECHR or the Greenbelt, we cannot continue shutting down debate.
We must stop making a single policy measure the embodiment of our principles, it's making us poorer and ineffectual @IgraineGray writes this week 👇
