Liz Truss, having been elected by 0.3 per cent of the country, is now Prime Minister. Truss’s record, combined with scrutiny of her policy proposals, suggests she will be an utter disaster in office. She is ideologically committed to making life worse for the majority of people. Truss was elected MP for South West Norfolk in 2010.

Is the Conservatives' Future Tied to Honouring Climate Commitments?

The UK Conservative Party has been in something of a civil war as it seeks to select its new leader and the nation’s prime minister.

No Contest of Ideas

The race is on. Boris Johnson didn’t even have time to resign before the first Cabinet minister had declared their candidacy for the leadership of the Conservative Party.

Opinion: Redirecting NHS funding to social care makes sense if hospital backlogs are to be tackled

Labour will regret its rejection of low-hanging fruit

Labour’s manifesto explicitly states that its ambition is for people to have a fair chance in life. In fact, Keir Starmer, in his introduction to the document, claims that “if you work hard then - whoever you are, wherever you started in life - Britain is a country that will respect your contribution and give you a fair chance to get on”.

Ignoring housing will mean decades out of power for the Tories

The Conservative Party is facing electoral oblivion. This isn't a comment on the nature of the polls for the next election but rather a reflection on its ageing voter base.
