Mick Collins: This rate rise is wrong – and the Bank of England must be reformed

Perhaps we will never be able to return it to political control, but decisions like this must be made more accountable to ministers, businesses, and consumers.

James Arnell: Ready on Day One for Brexit. 1) Money. If there’s no deal, and the EU fails to play fair, we shouldn’t pay it a penny.

I would propose that we pay a total of €12 billion as our “divorce bill” – even if there’s no FTA. But subject to three conditions.

Nicolas Clark: Society and government must do more for our veterans

Failing to help them transition to civilian life is not only a betrayal of those who serve, but a huge waste of their skills and expertise.

Andrew Green: Do we really need yet more EU workers?

Some employers have been doing very nicely out of labour which puts up with low pay, poor conditions and little flexibility in their hours.

Why are May and capitalism worth conserving?

The Prime Minister must explain today how reforming the system will deliver more gains for workers and familes than tearing it up.

Owen Meredith: Policy reform can unite the party ahead of Manchester

Employment, taxation, and three environment are three areas where we can show the Tory agenda is bigger than Brexit.

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.

James Morris: We need to refocus our domestic agenda now, and quickly

The Government must highlight its achievements and spell out how it will build on them, or the public will stop listening.

Nick Faith: Four lessons from last June’s election for the Conservatives

They include both the working class vote being up for grabs…and the Party adapting to the changing nature of modern Britain.

James Bundy: Schools, housing, social mobility – and the passionate case that Scottish Conservatives must make

Voters aren’t focusing on the constitution, but on the SNP’s record in Government. We must be ready to capitalise on this by telling then the truth.

Andy Cook: Give the poor a pay rise? Boost their productivity.

The Government must do much more to promote universities, apprenticeships and FE colleagues equally to ensure that young people get the skills they need.

Heidi Allen: Ministers must make a priority of closing the disability employment gap

This Government must be about more than Brexit, and there are a range of practical steps we can and should take straight away.

Alex Morton: Identity politics is wrong – and bad for Tories, too. So if May is staking a revival on it, her difficulties will deepen.

The idea that all groups should have the same outcomes is just an update of the old socialist idea of equality of outcome – ignoring the choices that individuals make.

Chloe Smith: My experience as a disabled person of Access to Work. What it does right. And how it could do better.

Making the scheme more accessible and user-friendly would help, as would supporting unpaid internships, work experience placements and volunteering.

Antoinette Sandbach: We won’t make a success of Brexit if we don’t boost productivity

We should seek the closest possible relationship with the EU and an open trade policy. Firms need confidence to invest.
