Grieve is right. The logic of a Government defeat today leads to a change of leadership – and a general election

Neither Tory MPs nor voters want a poll, but a paralysed Government and Parliament would make one all but unavoidable long before 2022.

James Frayne: The NHS spending announcement should be a medium-term winner for the Conservatives

There is zero chance that the public are going to back any meaningful reform of the service any time soon.

James Price: More borrowing and higher taxes are not the only – or even the best – way to free up more money for the NHS.

But some of the reforms listed above would improve the quality of healthcare, save money and set the service on a more long-term footing.

Dominic Cummings, NHS hero

The Vote Leave director is the onlie begetter of this cashfest. But we’ve said it before and say it again: Britain can’t tax its way to prosperity – or a better health service.

Ara Darzi: The Government must end the cycle of feast and famine for the NHS

It’s time for a big investment to secure the long-term future of medical and social care free at the point of delivery.

If ‘fair play’ is to mean anything, then it is vital that legal redress is available to all – regardless of income or background.

Alex Morton: Don’t review spending before first reviewing government – and how it doesn’t work

Its failures begins with the machinery of Government – the core civil service itself. This must be fixed.

Former Downing Street adviser Sean Worth notes that “the NHS is currently more productive than it’s ever been”.

We can’t just tax our way to a better NHS

Yes, some rises are inevitable. But they must be balanced by spending reductions elsewhere if economic policy is to be practicable and coherent.

Philip Booth: Why the Universal Basic Income is a very bad idea

Money would go from one person through a bureaucracy to another person in the same household – who probably holds a joint bank account with the first person.

We have not adjusted to what an ageing society means or requires. Green’s speech on social care – full text

“Using their own money would enable older people to take greater control over their care options.”

Paul Maginnis: My manifesto for boosting social mobility

It has fascinated me since growing up in a single parent family on the outskirts of Belfast – before attending the lowest-performing secondary school in Northern Ireland.

Helen Harrison: The Government should back the Bill to scrap hospital parking charges

It’s wrong to be using these fees as a stealth tax which squeezes people at times of great stress – and this legislation will leave hospitals no worse off.

Alistair Lexden: Neville Chamberlain – the unappreciated merits

The work done in partnership with Baldwin, and by Chamberlain alone after 1937, gave Britain some of the best welfare services in the world.
