Robert Halfon: Seven education heroes of the lockdown. All credit to them for putting the interests of children first.

They followed the guidance from Sir Nicholas Winton: “if it is not impossible, there must be a way to do it”.

Andy Street: Coventry could provide a blueprint for the nation’s city centres

A proposed transformation would move away from the reliance on big anchor stores and create 1,300 new homes – all on reclaimed brownfield sites.

Neil O’Brien: Introducing the new Levelling Up Taskforce – and its first report on how we can measure progress

So how do we get more good, high-paying jobs into poorer areas? One specific opportunity relevant in a lot of Red Wall seats is advanced manufacturing.

Iain Dale: Good luck to Robbie Gibb’s prospective challenger to the BBC and Sky. And to News UK if it has a go, too.

Plus: Russia’s opposition leader was poisoned, so now slap Magnitsky sanctions on Putin. And: Phil Collins’ ungracious departure.

Henry Hill: After decades on the defensive, Westminster is finally gearing up to counter-attack the SNP

The Nationalists’ campaign has been so successful that leading pro-UK campaigners shy away from saying ‘Britain’. That isn’t sustainable.

Stephen Booth: With four months left to get a Brexit deal, state aid is the major stumbling block for the UK and EU.

At the start of the summer there were reasons for optimism about an agreement. However, the mood appears to have turned.

Ryan Bourne: A message for Johnson and Sunak on tax rises. Not now. And not these.

Modest consolidation over decades is one thing; large increases over a Parliament would be quite another.

Let’s have a no-holds-barred strategic review which asks how we can best defend our interests given the vertiginous acceleration of military technology.

James Frayne: Big tax rises would make Tory campaigning impossible – in Red Wall seats as well as traditionally blue ones

The public would catch up when growth slowed and redundancies rose. It would become clear that raising taxes on employers doesn’t help anyone.

Radical: Five questions for Richards and Kearns about trans. Do they accept the difference between sex and gender?

The serious consequences and abuse that too many – from JK Rowling on – have faced for discussing these issues are worrying and wrong.

Howard Flight: From rising demand for out of town housing, to increases in savings, the Covid trends to look out for.

I expect the UK to emerge from this economic and health shakeup with permanent major changes of behaviour.

Richard Holden: The Government must hold firm and stay on course as the Commons returns this week

We’re crafting together a response to a question for 2024: “who do you want to be governing the country for the next four or five years?”

David Gauke: We’re urged to return to the office – but Ministers must face the fact that the world of work is changing.

Plus: On Last Night of the Proms, I get in touch with my inner Farage. And: On Brexit, it’s crunch time as the end of transition approaches.

Iain Dale: Davey is the new LibDem leader. But only 57 per cent of his party’s members could be bothered to vote.

Plus: Any Questions, Cross Question, why Williamson and Gibb should go – and why Johnson’s masks policy isn’t a U-turn.

Henry Hill: SNP abandon ‘economic case for independence’ as GERS reveals that they don’t have one

But with the Scottish Government’s ratings apparently impervious to its record, the real question is whether these damning figures will make any difference.
