Nick Bourne and Ros Altmann: Ministers must take decisive action to support the rented housing sector

We are calling for the development of a hardship loan scheme for tenants, similar to those in Wales and Scotland.

Mark Bridgeman: If Ministers really want to build back greener, they need a scheme to help homes that works

The Green Home Grant Scheme wasn’t ambitious enough – and their willingness to give up on it speaks volumes.

I love my new flat. But I’m also sick of moving. We renters need a Greta Thunberg of the housing crisis.

MPs seem to think ‘it doesn’t affect me, so I’ll think about it later’ when they hear complaints from Generation Rent.

Chris Town: It’s wrong for Ministers to shift the responsbility for renters in need onto landlords

The best protection for the latter would be Government-guaranteed hardship loans.

Richard Holden: My young constituents want to pay less tax and afford a home. We must lift the University debts that hold them back.

A major part of the problem is high tax rates driven by borrowing for higher education courses that they’d be better off not taking.

Ros Altmann: What Ministers should do to ease the plight of small landlords

Four proposals to help engender a sustainable balance between the rights of landlords and renters.

Phillipa Stroud: Coronavirus has hit those in poverty hardest. The Government must support employment, fast.

The next step is for a commission to be established that can develop solutions to the current inequalities we have seen.

Alex Morton: We need a Help to Build plan to save building new homes from collapse

By using the new grant as an incentiv those who are looking to buy would be more likely to buy a new build, enabling supply to continue.

James Frayne: More welfare spending. A business tax avoidance clampdown. The new economic policy that voters will want.

One area that has had relatively little attention, but could get much more, is the behaviour of commercial landlords across the country.

Graham Gudgin: Speed, scale, simplicity. Three principles for further action by Ministers to protect jobs and help people.

The job now needs to be completed by shoring up workers’ incomes and firms’ revenues to as close to 100 per cent as is practical.

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?

Neil O’Brien: How the Conservatives can do better with younger voters. And remain a compassionate party.

After crushing Labour last year, it might be tempting to rest on our laurels. But we need to act now to keep the extreme left locked out of Number 10.

Neil O’Brien: Five ways to help resolve the housing crisis

If we’re really going solve it and “build better” as Scruton wished then we need massive changes.

“My Government will embark on an ambitious programme of domestic reform”. The Queen’s Speech – full text

Although Brexit is the headline, the spotlight is on a range of measures aimed at schools, the NHS, the police, and the justice system.

Ryan Bourne: To help grow prosperity, let’s focus on people and not places – such as towns

Bowman and Westlake’s policy ideas are perfectly compatible with this end, but pitching them as a city and town agenda risks creating a false impression.
