Robert Halfon: I’ve been told that, if Corbyn wins, the Conservative Party and I will be sued for negligence

“Now I want a nice clean game from all of you” – so said Madam Hooch in Harry Potter. The reality is, it’s not going to happen.

Phoebe Griffith: To end austerity finally, Johnson needs more than a quick splash of populist spending

The third piece in our series this week about what the Conservative Manifesto should look like.

Nadhim Zahawi: Let’s get Brexit done – and so empower businesses to deliver

Our businesses have the ingenuity, skills and talent to succeed, but they need to know what the future will hold before they can invest, hire and deliver.

Patrick Spencer: Some advice for the new Conservative leader. Stick to these three ideas to boost productivity.

The new Chancellor should stick to the basics of cutting taxes, spending more on education and rebalancing growth outside of London.

Tom Clougherty: Make Work Pay. A new agenda from the CPS for fairer taxes – including an end to pernicious marginal rates.

If one of a couple claiming the marriage allowance becomes a higher rate taxpayer, there is a 23,800 per cent marginal tax rate on the first penny over the threshold.

The second piece in our series on reducing taxes also argues that in the longer term we should seek to return to a two-rate Income Tax system.

George Maggs: How to reform the NHS. It needs independence. Hypothecated funds. And a constitution.

People will not accept any arrangement that isn’t funded through the tax system and free at the point of use. So we have to find a way of making the current model work.

Robert Halfon: My budget for the workers

Cutting the cost of living. Building more houses. Protecting the NHS. Developing skills. A draft of the proposals Hammond should deliver.

Spreadsheet Phil must become Storyteller Phil – if his Budget is to succeed where the Tory conference failed

The Chancellor needs to help deliver the sense of direction so strikingly absent in Manchester last month, and indeed since last June’s election.

Iain Dale: Wotcha, Peston. WTF are you on?

My TV omnipresence. After The News. Two wheezes from the Chancellor. Will he be fired in a reshuffle? Oh, and p.s: it could take place on Monday.
