George Freeman: The industrial strategy reforms I led helped to deliver Britain’s vaccine success. Now for the next phase.

I’m delighted to have been asked to help set up the new Taskforce for Innovation and Growth through Regulatory Reform.

Ryan Bourne: Calm down, stay cool – and drop this talk of tax rises. It’s too early to know how everything will settle down.

It’s baffling why think-tanks are taking the OBR assessments as truth, given its prediction record.

Liam Fox: Today, the Chancellor should aim to boost an unambiguously private sector-led recovery

Before pumping more funding into the public sector, we must restore the habit of making sure we have the money in the bank before we start spending it.

David Gauke: Next week’s spending review – and why our holiday from spending restraint is coming to an end

Plus: Johnson’s sub-optimal Brexit trade deal choice. I’m not dreaming of a normal Christmas. And: green jobs – overall, a cost not a benefit.

Alex Morton: How Sunak can save £30 billion a year

The first group of savings are about making the state more efficient, the second about creating a state focused on the core tasks of government.

David Gauke: Covid-19. Conservative MPs should fear for their seats if they push for a Sweden-style policy – just as deaths are rising

If it it takes hold, people will not want to go to pubs, cinemas, shops or offices, so economic normality will be impossible anyway.

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.

Sunak’s measures: What do they look like, where’s the money coming from – and how do they compare to other countries’?

While the Chancellor’s recovery measures look drastic, they are “middle of the pack” when compared to others in the world.

Sunak whistles in the dark

The Chancellor is groping his way, knowing well that the future is unknowable, trying to hold on to as much of the past as he can.

Sunak’s statement tomorrow. How much like the Old Normal can we afford to make the New Normal be – or try to?

Given the Coronavirus uncertainties, whatever he announces could be even more provisional than most schemes of most Chancellors. 

“Take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.”

The big picture is that Johnson is dashing for growth. We devoutly hope it works but the precedents aren’t promising.

James Heywood: Johnson – “Brexity Hezza” or liberalising Thatcherite? Our new report sets out how he can be both.

At the Centre for Policy Studies, we’ve teamed up with Sajid Javid to come up with a comprehensive set of ideas for tackling the challenges ahead.

Warwick Lightfoot: The Government must borrow more to boost the post-Coronavirus recovery

After a decade of forward guidance, credit easing and quantitative easing, it was clear even before the Covid-19 crisis that monetary policy had run out of road.

This really is the time to let the deficit grow big enough to look after itself

If, that is, interest rates carry on at rock bottom rates. But we have to take a chance on growing our way out of this crisis.

Owen Paterson: Cameron’s Coalition was formed ten years ago today. It left us a message of hope that we should honour.

As a member of his first Cabinet, I was tested in Northern Ireland – as elsewhere the new government reduced the defict and reformed public services.
