Nick Hargrave: The Conservative split is coming. Indeed, it is already here. Unless…

Perhaps, against all the odds, we will find a way of muddling through and preserve our broad church for a time after the era of Brexit has passed.

Nicky Morgan: The only credible alternative plan is Norway Plus. And that may well be what Parliament ends up supporting.

But it could take the ruling out of all other options before we get there. And if MPs ends up reaching a consensus view, then the Government will have to adopt it.

Howard Flight: The best part of a week on, we can see that last week’s Budget was a popular one

The Chancellor has been fortunate that the public finances have improved substantially at a particularly convenient time.

George Freeman: There was much to cheer in the Budget. But now we need an inspiring programme for growth.

At the moment, we are treading water and appear to be relying on popular support for Brexit, and the threat of Corbyn, to keep us in office.

Alex Morton: This week, Hammond’s Budget. Next year, the Spending Review. It must focus on gaining more growth.

Will Tanner: The Budget choice on ending austerity. Raise taxes – or ease up on deficit reduction.

In the final article of our mini-series, the Onward Director says that there must also be a new strategy to help boost Britain’s productivity rate.

Robert Halfon: Here’s the Worker’s Budget we need next week

In the second article of our mini-series, the Harlow MP calls for a relentless focus on the cost of living, a skills-based economy, social injustices and affordable housing.

Andrew Lilico: Next week, Hammond must present a Budget for Brexit

In the first article of a new mini-series, the economist urges the Chancellor to deploy the savings and revenues secured by leaving the EU.

Chloe Westley: In praise of the small business people I met, who help create the wealth which keeps public services going

During this Budget run-up, many of those I met raised business rates as a killer, plus council tax, the apprenticeship levy, parking charges and corporation tax, too.
