Robert Halfon: The Government was wise to give way to Rashford. Now let him head up the Social Mobility Commission.

Plus: vision from the top for left-behind pupils, a National Education Broadcasting Service, and Alan Turing summer schools.

Darren Grimes: Since we must use coal, why import it all – when we could instead create jobs by mining it in the North-East?

In 2018, just to transport 4.7million tonnes of Russian coal was equivalent to a whopping 130 jumbo jets whizzing, non-stop, around the globe for a year.

Luke Evans: The Coronavirus, my Bosworth constituency, reporting, risk – and the persistence of uncertainty

What I learned after a local Labour activist wrote to me on the basis of a newspaper report about the virus locally.

Andy Street: With more shops opening again, here are high street lessons we can learn from the last recession

At John Lewis where I was a new MD, we decided to put our trust in technology – to build a business model for the future.

Neil O’Brien: Like fax machines, pagers and your old macarena CD, it’s time to bin the 1990s

The ideas of that decade are still with us, staggering around like a zombie in a garish “Global Hypercolor” t-shirt.

Iain Dale: Gandhi was racist against black Africans. So by the rioters’ own reasoning, his statue should come tumbling down.

Sitting in a park is selfish, but organising a mass demonstration in a park is wonderful, and schools should still stay closed. Seriously?

James Frayne: We should prepare ourselves to hear horrifying tales of what’s happened in lockdown Britain

Getting the economy moving won’t even begin to give the Government political momentum. It will need to conduct its own Fairness Audit.

Emma Webb: Scotland’s new Hate Crime Bill imposes a new system of blasphemy. It urgently needs rejecting.

The legislation is aimed at stopping prejudice, but it can easily be used to silence debates on gender identity.

Richard Holden: Why we need Parliament back to deliver immigration control, trade deals, levelling up – and much more.

More delay would playing into the hands of the SNP and other opposition parties who claim that ‘Westminster isn’t delivering.’

David Gauke: The Prime Minister will regret not requiring Cummings’ resignation

Iain Dale: The EU’s insipid response to China’s Hong Kong aggression. Another reason to be glad we’re leaving.

Plus: Trump. Racist, divisive, narcissistic. I can say that – but Johnson can’t. And: the return of the #virtuesignallingtastic Gardiner.

Henry Hill: Do Johnson’s two Scottish Office appointments show he’s taking the SNP more seriously?

For all that Downing Street sources dismissed Douglas Ross as ‘Mr Nobody’, the Prime Minister has decided to replace him with two people.
