Alistair Lexden: Heath, the “almost great” Prime Minister who became the crosspatch of the century

This unusual leader still evokes passions in his Party even decades after his surprise election victory.

Blair Gibbs: Legalising cannabis for medical reasons doesn’t have to lead to recreational use

After, say, five years, we will have ample evidence of the social and economic effects. Enough to give legislators the confidence to go the next step – or not.

Sarah Stook: Mental health. More money alone won’t guarantee more quality care. Here’s how to help get it.

When the most vulnerable in society are not being helped properly, we need to look at ourselves. Educating both staff and the public can begin to create change.

Peter Lilley: Sovereignty or prosperity? It’s a false choice. They go hand in hand.

Not being able to blame Brussels for our problems nor look to the EU for solutions will be immensely reinvigorating.

Rob Wilson: How government must change to deliver real social reform

It is too fragmented to deliver this successfully – so a senior Cabinet minister should be tasked with bringing about change.

Neil O’Brien: We Conservatives need to refresh ourselves to stop Corbyn. That’s why Onward is being launched.

Even in lefty France, socialist policies are now being dumped by Emmanuel Macron in favour of free markets. Now is the time to develop our next round of big ideas.

Votes loom on the EU Withdrawal Bill in the Lords. Which places a big responsibility on Labour’s leader there – Angela Smith.

Crossbench votes are always crucial in the Upper House as it now is. But the decisive role in the Bill’s consideration may well be played by the Official Opposition.

Jonathan Clark: How should we reform our tax system after Brexit?

In the post-leave springtime, it will be worth considering what would happen if all three were abolished and replaced by a single Turnover Tax.

Albie Amankona: We need a real National Health Service – to make healthy living easy and unhealthy living difficult.

There needs to be a paradigm shift in policy and culture. Our state should work to keep us healthy and allow us as individuals to be responsible for our actions.

Leigh is right: Parliament must be repaired, but not emptied

It would be a huge waste to spend huge sums restoring the body of Westminster whilst decanting – probably permanently – its spirit.

Daniel Kawczynski: The Polish Government is right to pursue judicial reform

Law and Justice’s agenda is being wildly misunderstood – or misrepresented – by its critics and enjoys the strong support of the voters.

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.

Charlie Elphicke: Keeping order at the border – to prepare for a smooth Brexit

Too often it seems as though our perimeters are seen as a problem to be patched-up rather than an asset to be fully modernised.

George Freeman: We need a new Chairman and team at CCHQ to lead a radical programme of Conservative renewal

Let’s have Policy Board outside of the constraints of the Government machine – and a commission on what Britain should look like post-Brexit.

Lewis Baston: Disraeli’s “leap in the dark” towards modern democracy. 150 years on from the 1867 Reform Act.

Two cheers for a measure that, though mostly about managing, dividing and taming popular opinion, remains a reforming landmark.
