Andy Street: Our blueprint setting out the economic ambitions of the West Midlands

This ambitious business case is based on our experiences not only of recovering from the last downturn, but on the successes of the last three years.

Polling snapshot. Is the statues and history fracas helping to solidify the Conservative vote?

The blue share in the poll of polls hit 43 per cent on June 2 and hasn’t moved the best part of a month later.

David Gauke: Big Government is back. It didn’t work before. It may not now. Here’s why we should be wary of it.

Post-Covid, the environment is likely to be egalitarian and interventionist. For libertarian, small state Eurosceptics, this must come as a disappointment.

Andy Street: With more shops opening again, here are high street lessons we can learn from the last recession

At John Lewis where I was a new MD, we decided to put our trust in technology – to build a business model for the future.

Ray O’Rourke: A technological revolution is underway in construction. Here’s how the Government can speed it up.

A new approach has allowed building work to take place offsite, leading to gains in productivity and creating long-term, well-paid jobs.

Colin Clark: If the Scottish Tories stay in the middle of the road, they’ll get run over

In 2016, 38 per cent of voters in Scotland backed Brexit. So why is the Party currently stuck at 23 per cent in the polls for next year’s Holyrood election?

Nick Herbert: Whitehall musn’t return to business as usual after Coronavirus. We need radical, energetic, can-do fusion government.

Reshaping Whitehall must be sanctioned by the Prime Minister, but he can empower the Government’s proven reformer, Michael Gove, to drive change.

Nat Wei: How the internet could have been used to protect lives and livelihoods during this crisis. And how we can do better.

More emphasis could have been put on local delivery of services, drugs, and even treatment using mobile medical equipment and remote consultation.

Bob Seely: What the Isle of Wight has learned from trialling the NHS’s Coronavirus App

If enough of us download this app, we can, through our joint endeavours and the trace and test programme, suppress the virus.

Sunder Katwala: Strengthing social capital in more deprived areas during the age of Coronavirus

There are still five million adults – around one in ten – who are not online. Twice as many lack the skills and confidence to navigate the online world effectively.

Guy Mansfield: Overt digital surveillance can be justified in a crisis. But it must be time-limited.

Contact tracing will help the Government to take control of Covid-19. It must ensure the system does not continue indefinitely, however.

Benjamin Barnard: The policy implications of the Government’s controversial track and trace app

Although NHSX’s approach involves a degree of centralisation, it is important to remember that the identifiers uploaded to the server will remain anonymous.

Howard Flight: There’s reason to believe that the recovery will proceed better and accelerate faster than many anticipate

The pundits have the UK’s lost output at up to 30 per cent of GDP: personally, I anticipate it to be less, and closer to 10 per cent to 15 per cent.

Matt Kilcoyne: Can privacy be secured in the era of the track-and-trace app?

Fortunately, a decentralised solution has come forward that will allows epidemiologists and Health Departments to access the data they need.
