    November 14, 2023

    Rishi Sunak's reshuffle was his third attempt to relaunch the Conservative Party, and this time he's also reheating David Cameron's career, writes Will Cooling

  • We’re living in a spreadsheet-crazy world, it’s time we wised up on data

    November 9, 2023

  • Even on their favourite battlegrounds, the Conservatives have no new ideas

    August 31, 2023

  • Even hiking their fees might not be enough for universities to turn a profit

    August 17, 2023

    Universities are in an existential crisis, losing money and the quality of their teaching. But even the option of hiking fees doesn't look feasible at the moment, writes Will Cooling
