MP for Devizes, Danny Kruger, has released a new book aiming to demonstrate how the Conservative Party can consolidate its new class coalition and govern for all classes and communities.

'Covenant' examines the most fundamental questions of love, sex and death, ranging from marriage to assisted dying.

‘For all our longing for adventure… most people simply want places they live in to be lovable; to be safe, healthy and beautiful, and offer a good range of ordinary opportunities. And most people want their natural affections and loyalties to be honoured and endorsed, not despised, by the culture and the government.'

The co-chair of the New Conservatives makes the case for a new conservatism that restores the sources of virtue and belonging that underpin the good life.

"We must resist the ceaseless move towards obsessive autonomy and self-worship, exemplified in the ‘social contract’ and revisit a social covenant centred around families, places and communities.

"Supporting these key institutions can make modernity safe, fruitful and prosperous."

Danny Kruger is the MP for Devizes and has worked for a succession of Conservative leaders and Prime Ministers, including as Political Secretary to Boris Johnson.

He is the founder and former chief executive of two charities working with prisoners and young people at risk.

He said: "We are witnessing a powerful popular and intellectual resurgence within conservatism, back to the fundamentals of the creed and forward to a meaningful engagement with the tech-driven challenges of the new century.

"Today’s ‘new conservatives’ are less concerned with maximising opportunities for individual freedom than with shoring up the conditions that make freedom possible.

"These conditions are the institutions of social life: families, communities, nations, and the virtues that sustain them.

"Put most simply, we need to strengthen the economic, social and cultural forces that make good people."

The hardback of 'Covenant' is priced at £20.
