Andrew Gimson’s PMQs sketch: What has Oltep done to offend May?

The Prime Minister’s failure to talk about the dependence of the NHS on the economy is bizarre.

More money for the NHS? Don’t forget another big spending pressure point. More money for defence.

Brexit has transformed the context in which we plan our security. Commitments to our European neighbours and Global Britain require more money.

Education, housing, the environment: May’s campaigning priorities. And there is an NHS row. But what about the economy?

The Government had next to no living standards message at the election. It needs one now – and to explain how it fits in with those three priorities.

List of PPS’s

It doesn’t seem to be complete yet, but here are as many of the appointments as have been released to date.

Natalie Elphicke: Not since the moon landings have we built 300,000 houses a year. Here’s how that target can be met.

Right now, a whole host of things are said to be top infrastructure priorities. Yet, remarkably, housing is not among them. This needs to change.

Higher and technical education. No young person left beHinds, er, behind.

Yes, we need a resource shift to technical education. But the loss of the Tory majority last June will make it very slow going.

Interview: Boles says that National Insurance should become National Health Insurance – and fund the NHS

“We need to give it its own clear funding stream that is then permanently separate. For all its flaws, is almost the only bit of the British state that is genuinely loved.”

Alex Morton: Why the Tory tendency to bash our friends and back our enemies – for example, over student immigration numbers?

The Conservatives need to support genuine allies – such as savers, home owners, small businesses, and the armed forces.

There is scant evidence that May is about to u-turn on the Customs Union

The Prime Minister has made the freedom to strike trade deals, so important to key allies and the membership, a cornerstone of her strategy.

The triggering of Article 50 came top as the Political Event of the Year in our survey

The lacklustre General Election campaign was consigned to second place. Donald Trump’s inauguration was a distant third.

Our survey. Next Tory leader. As last month, Rees-Mogg leads and Gove is second.

Our take is that our panel is waiting to see what happens next, and suspending judgement as the political cycle and Brexit negotiations continue.

Watch Hunt – now up to second in our final Cabinet League Table of 2017. Gove keeps the top spot.

Davidson and Mordaunt also score highly, whilst the Chancellor and Chief Whip both languish with negative scores.

James Arnell: Brexit. What we should do now

We need a new negotiating team – who will come in hard, making it clear to the EU that we are not going to roll over.

Mordaunt takes an immediate bronze in our Cabinet League Table

And after hitting a personal low last month, the Budget seems to have got the Chancellor (just) back into the membership’s good books.

Our message to Williamson’s allies: grow up

And we will have one for Hammond, for what it’s worth, if the armed forces are refused further cash that they need.
