Why pro-Leave MPs should prepare to back the Chancellor next week

Letting disagreements about Brexit leak into the Budget’s treatment could deal the Government irreparable damage – and voters much harm.

Ideas for the Budget 5) James Kirkup: Ditch the surplus target. Build new towns. Raise inheritance taxes and boost universal credit.

The Social Market Foundation isn’t tied to any party. We’re centrists – our advice and ideas on offer to anyone who wants to put common sense ahead of ideology.

Howard Flight: Young people are better off than they were. But they face two specific problems.

Young people eat out, often several times a week – my fiancée and I could only afford to eat out once a month at most. They are also better paid, absolutely and relatively.

The Radicrats or the Demicals – or how to create a Two Nations Party

The simultaneous creation and collapse of a new force has been written off an establishment failure. The truth is more interesting.

Is the Government prepared for the political pressures of a rise in interest rates?

Not only would many borrowers feel pain, but the Opposition might well be tempted to seize the chance to pile on the pressure.

Richard Short: Student loans – change the title, change the narrative

We need to look at the write-off threshold more than the repayment threshold or bottom line fees to make a difference that young graduates can relate to.

Reconstructing May 2) No panic announcement on tuition fees. But a proper medium-term plan.

Our take is that what matters to students at least as much as their finances in the future is their finances now. Miinisters should mull a universal maintenance loan.

Lord Ashcroft: The general election. How the Conservatives damaged their reputation for competence without gaining one for compassion.

Nearly everything believed to exercise Labour more than the Tories was also named more often as a priority for “me and my family” than for Britain as a whole.

Ryan Shorthouse: Universities have enjoyed a leap in funding – vice-chancellors must act responsibly in return

It is wrong for those at the top to take advantage of the generosity of government, students, and other, far less well-remunerated, academic staff.

Students and money. Let’s help them with their current costs – not fixate on their future ones

A review of student finance, to report before Brexit, would be a better way of proceeding than panic announcements at next month’s Party Conference.

Richard Ritchie: Was the election result really such a disaster for the Conservatives?

By 2022, Corbyn will no longer look ‘new’, and that he came close to winning in 2017 should mean that he will then be exposed to far greater scrutiny,

John Baron: It’s time to embrace the One-Nation message – and win

As possibly the only Brexiteer in the Parliamentary Party’s One Nation group, I am also only too aware that this message must be accompanied by a successful EU negotiation.

The great Conservative student panic

The next manifesto might propose breaking the link between student maintenance costs and parental income by introducing a universal loan.

Corbyn’s idle promises on student debt come back to bite Labour

That the Opposition are willing to risk alienating key supporters even whilst preparing for an early election shows how dangerous they think this policy is.

Rebecca Lowe Coulson: At what point would Remainers give up on the EU – if ever?

Unresolved questions about refugees, debt crises, security, and general financial instability will force these questions on more people, and not just Britons.
