Caroline ffiske: How non-crime hate incidents came into force. And why they should be reformed – or scrapped altogether.

Introduced with the best of intentions, they have grown and morphed beyond reason – more so than Macpherson could surely have imagined.

Esther McVey: We should honour our manifesto commitment to close the digital divide. Especially during this time of Covid.

The levelling up agenda depends upon nation-wide digital inclusivity. If we give up on this, we will be trying to deliver it with one hand held behind our back.

Andy Cook: To help reduce mass unemployment, back up Universal Credit with Universal Support

The first in a mini-series of pieces from the Centre for Social Justice on Covid-19 – and helping those in deep poverty.

Philippa Stroud: The Coalition stopped officially measuring poverty – which left its successor unsighted over free schools meals

We are allowing others to create a narrative for us, and in the absence of an agreed poverty measure and subsequent strategy, we always will.

Maria Miller: Domestic abuse can stretch on for a lifetime. So why do we stop recording it after the age of 74?

I urge Ministers to make one simple change to the Domestic Abuse Bill – to start the necessary recording of data of victims and survivors.

Phillipa Stroud: Coronavirus has hit those in poverty hardest. The Government must support employment, fast.

The next step is for a commission to be established that can develop solutions to the current inequalities we have seen.

Victoria Borwick: Ministers must act to stop vulnerable people falling through the gap of the Covid-19 safety net

The Government needs to expand the definition of ‘vulnerable’ to include carers and families with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities).

John Hayes: The plan to impose abortion on demand on Northern Ireland by the end of this month – and why it should be stopped

To respect devolution, the UK Government must not impose such a drastic development on the Province. Is this a test run for England?

Emily Farley: To close the disability employment gap, we need the voluntary sector’s ‘little platoons’

The Government’s current approach to contracts locks out small, specialist providers in exchange for a handful of multinationals.

Robert Halfon: Let licence fee payers vote for the BBC’s next Director-General.

Plus: More Ronseal, please. And: If the Treasury wants to flick multiple V-signs at blue collar voters, it will put up fuel duty.

Northern Ireland Bill 1) Maria Caulfield: Damaging, opportunistic, anti-democratic. The Commons should reject these abortion amendments

There has been no consultation with those who live in the part of the UK that these changes would affect.

Mark Harper: Social care. It’s not all about the elderly. Let’s meet the needs of disabled people of working age too.

The former Minister for Disabled People contributes the first article in a three-part mini-series on reform to the adult social care system.

Robert Halfon: Under our new leader, we must prize social justice above social mobility

We must tackle causes of poverty, not symptoms: educational failure, worklessness, family breakdown, debt, addiction, disability, exposure to crime, poor housing.

Philippa Stroud: Now that we can measure poverty, we can work together to tackle it

For too long, much of the political and policy debate on this has not been focused on the action needed to drive better outcomes for the most disadvantaged in our society.

Edward Davies: The next Conservative leader must make social justice their top priority

Government should be passionate about self-reliance, but we must also recognise the transformative power of an enabling state.
