Conor Short: A minimum wage is a worker’s right. So why can’t every worker have it?

I suggest exploring the possibility of categorising self-employed work into two categories – self-employed work, and agency-supplied self-employed work.

Nadhim Zahawi: Unfussily, quietly and impressively, Hammond’s Budget has prepared the ground for national recovery

The Chancellor has not suddenly changed who he is; he has carefully analysed the issues we face and plotted out a course of action to build a Britain fit for the future.

May has a campaign for the country. She must complement it, as best she can, with one for you and your family.

Ryan Bourne: May has chosen to occupy the centre, rather than try to shift it. This bodes badly for Britain, Brexit – and the economy.

The basic principles of limited government, economic and civil liberties, freedom and equality under the law are almost entirely absent from her programme.
