Will Green: I’m a Labour supporter – but here’s why I believe that Universal Basic Income wouldn’t work

Effectively, for much of the population, UBI would merely take their money and then give it back to them. What’s the point?

David Gauke: The virus – and my journey from serving as Lord Chancellor to volunteering to stack shelves

Plus: Treasury and Work & Pensions lessons. Greenlighters v the rest. Remembering Attlee’s surplus. And: the key question now is “how”, not “what”.

The economy and the virus. Tear up the rulebook – we need Big State Government on a scale unknown in modern times.

The implications of the crisis are such that Johnson and Sunak need not so much to think outside the box as to trample it to tatters altogether.

Budget 1) This was less a Conservative Budget than “the People’s Budget”. From a Vote Leave Government – not the usual Tory one.

It may be necessary, given the Coronavirus, and could even work. But Britain has a long, long record of state spending failing to turbo-charge growth.

Robert Halfon: The Budget we need today is for social as well as physical infrastructure

Plus: As of writing, I’ve had hardly any communications at all from constituents about the Coronavirus.

Ryan Bourne: The real Budget question on borrowing is not “could we?” but “should we?”

My answer would be “maybe, provided the spending or tax cuts significantly improved our growth potential.”

Reshuffle 1) The lesson of this PJ Masks shakeup. For Johnson and Cummings, it is truly Do or Die.

We cheer the mission. But government needs more compromise, art, tact and accomodation than campaigning alone allows.

Ryan Bourne: The core challenge that Johnson’s Government won’t face up to. Boosting growth.

Ministers have been asked to push the Government’s priorities – tackling crime, funding the NHS, “levelling up”. How can these be effected without faster growth?

The election in which the Conservatives finally waved farewell to Thatcher’s ghost

Johnson is a self-described “Brexity Hezza” and now has the chance to mould a Party and country in his own romantic image.

Jack Airey: The next Government should revitalise Key Worker Housing

Vital public services face a recruitment crisis because the cost of living deters applicants. Our report shows how the Tories can address this challenge.

Matt Kilcoyne: The Conservative manifesto. Wooing Labour heartlands with socialist policy is a doomed strategy.

The first piece of a series this week about what the Conservative Manifesto should look like.

Robert Colvile: Here’s how to show that the Left doesn’t have a monopoly on compassion

My new pamphlet for the Centre for Policy Studies sets out a programme which would empower voters truly to Take Back Control.

Rachel Wolf: In defence of Cameron

My local secondary schools were no-go areas and no one from my primary school went to one. That won’t be my children’s experience, and he can take a lot of credit.

Iain Mansfield: Brexit by October 31. Stop using the Left’s language. And stand for skilled workers. Essentials for our next Prime Minister.

Which candidate can devise and push through the policies needed to unite the Tory shires with the Leave voters of the north?

Sajid Javid: I’m in this race because I want to level the playing field, to lower the ladder to everyone.

I am used to people trying to tell me what I can’t do, and I’m used to proving people wrong. I know that our party can fix the problems the nation faces.
