James Frayne: To contest big state ideas, small state conservatives need to get to grips with the detail

They must also rediscover the interests of the consumer – and be better at engaging working class voters on social issues.

Andrew Selous: Government needs to go further to curb junk food advertising to children

Enforcing a pre-watershed ban is an important step towards the sort of cultural change we need for a healthier population.

The Chequers summit agrees the Davis solution

What was sketched out yesterday, boiled down to essentials, sounds a lot like his Canada Plus Plus Plus. But no decision yet it seems on the Customs Union.

Stephen Booth: A possible Cabinet Brexit compromise is brewing. It would mean mirroring parts of the Customs Union.

When ministers meet at Chequers this week, they must find a solution to the seemingly intractable question of whether to align or diverge from the EU.

Alex Morton: We could have had a radical Brexit. But we’re out of time for one – for the moment.

We are likely to get a deal with something for everyone – a ‘softish’ Brexit with May-style immigration controls. But the longer-term offers great opportunities.

Patrick Minford: More compliance. Lower productivity. Reduced growth. Why we must free ourselves from EU regulation.

If we do, we could reverse at least some of the six per cent hit to GDP it has caused so far. If we don’t, we could continue to lose productivity growth of 0.2 per cent a year.

Martin Callanan: The Government welcomes peers’ razor-sharp scrutiny of the EU Withdrawal Bill

The Bill is not a vehicle for pursuing policy changes, nor is it about the shape or type of Brexit we deliver. It is about delivering smooth legal continuity.

If making a final decision seemed too risky for the Prime Minister, her deliberate indecision has now proved even more dangerous.

Henry Newman: The Brexit regulation debate pits short-term disruption against future prosperity

Even Whitehall’s fiercest advocates of the need to stay as close as possible to the EU recognise that there are risks in being a rule-taker not a rule-maker.

Howard Flight: Brexit offers the chance of a renaissance for the City

The alarmism of Osborne and others has proved to be baseless – instead, our existing strengths in financial services position us to grow even stronger.

Mark Hoban: Why the regulatory deal on leaving the EU should be based on mutual recognition – and no material regulatory divergence

Because Britain and the EU both want to maintain high levels of access to each other’s markets, a bespoke deal is needed: there is no off-the-shelf solution.

Owen Paterson: To make Brexit a success, we must break free from the over-taxed, over-regulated European model

That means taking back full control – then using our new-found independence to its greatest possible benefit.

The ghost of Social Chapter policies past haunts the forthcoming Brexit row about labour regulations

Those who are pro-Brexit and those who oppose it have to negotiate the pitfalls of their own previous positions on red tape.

Howard Flight: We should be more enthusiastic about post-Brexit opportunities for Britain

I understand the Government’s keenness to achieve a free trade agreement with the EU, but we need to be careful that the price is not too high.
