It will probe whether or or not Sunak can prepare the country for that future – and perhaps succeed Johnson himself, “one fine day”.

Neil O’Brien: Tomorrow’s Covid vote. We must stick to the plan – and stick together.

Every MP wants to make sure restrictions in their area are as limited as possible. But we’re close to the end now. Let’s not fall near the finish line.

Mak is co-Chair of the new Conservative Party Policy Board

O’Brien has arrived to find the MP for Havant already in place, who though not a former think tank head is no policy slouch.

David Gauke: Next week’s spending review – and why our holiday from spending restraint is coming to an end

Pressure rises on Ministers to publish assessments of the impact of lockdowns, restrictions – and Covid itself

We urged the Government last week to do so. Others are also on the case – and the Daily Mail this morning publishes its own findings.
