Resetting national-local relationships
Recent months have been difficult for Conservatives, particularly in local government. We lost some great Conservative councillors during the local elections in May, and we experienced an incredibly gruelling general election campaign.
Largest number of MPs ever
The general election was historic: it created an earthquake across every region of the country, with the Liberal Democrats making gains from Yorkshire to Dorset, Norfolk to Wales, Inverness to Sussex.
A better focus on the local
Congratulations! What an election for our group members.
Closing the transport accessibility gap
The UK has a proud history of making transport more accessible for disabled people.
A workforce strategy for adult social care
Last autumn, Skills for Care announced ambitious plans to develop a new and comprehensive workforce strategy for adult social care.
Helping councils to deliver
Astonishingly, by the time you read this, we will already be half-way through the general election campaign.
A serious and long-term plan for change
The general election is finally here, with PM Rishi Sunak finally bowing to pressure and giving the country the chance to change.
Securing the priorities of Conservative councillors
With the general election now well under way, I am sure many of you will have already hit the doorsteps to support Conservative candidates standing in this election, including a number of brilliant Conservative councillors who are candidates.
Impressive gains in local elections
In many places, we’re now calling the shots, thanks to yet another round of impressive gains.
