This is the second in a three-part series on how to boost our economy after Coronavirus.

The Education Endowment Foundation estimates that ten years of progress in closing the attainment gap has been reversed by school closures.

Neil Shastri-Hurst: Turkey and Hungary cannot be allowed to continue to contravene the principles of NATO

There is a Russian bear sitting behind the desk of the Kremlin; we must not let its cubs play in our midst.

Javid delivers the Budget he never got a chance to – via the Centre for Policy Studies. He wants to go for growth.

It’s a good thing for former senior Ministers to keep thinking, going and contributing, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see a comeback to government.

It should take advantage of the current macro-economic environment afforded by low borrowing costs, to provide stable – and sizeable – funding.

Howard Flight: There’s reason to believe that the recovery will proceed better and accelerate faster than many anticipate

The pundits have the UK’s lost output at up to 30 per cent of GDP: personally, I anticipate it to be less, and closer to 10 per cent to 15 per cent.

If it proves a temporary blowout rather than permanent, accumulated debt levels being modestly higher looks manageable.

Julian Knight: Coronavirus presents a more complex economic challenge than when the Coalition took office

With no fiscal leeway for stimulus spending, a bold supply-side programme will be crucial for the UK.
