Charlotte Pickles: Ten million people are at risk of becoming unemployed. They must be Sunak’s priority this week.

The Chancellor should use his statement on Wednesday to announce a comprehensive and ambitious plan to counter the threat.

Neil O’Brien: We are on a terrible course. But some people are still messing about as though this were a game.

With the bazooka being well-wielded by Sunak, it seems almost churlish to suggest some further things the Treasury could do. But here are three.

The economy and the virus. Tear up the rulebook – we need Big State Government on a scale unknown in modern times.

The implications of the crisis are such that Johnson and Sunak need not so much to think outside the box as to trample it to tatters altogether.

Ryan Bourne: The real Budget question on borrowing is not “could we?” but “should we?”

My answer would be “maybe, provided the spending or tax cuts significantly improved our growth potential.”

Neil O’Brien: So you want to level up. In what way? And how will you do it?

Measuring people’s incomes needs to be part of measuring progress – but we need to be careful, because different measures give different results.

Ben Brittain: Get Brexit Done and innovate like Israel

Its success in innovative industries is based on an R&D-intensive, novel-product-based, export-oriented business model. One that the UK should adopt.

Robert Halfon: For years, I’ve urged that the Conservatives become a Workers Party. Now it is one.

As the Prime Minister said, many people have lent us their vote, and they won’t be so generous next time if we get it wrong.

Tom Clougherty: Unless Labour resorts to printing money, higher income tax, NI or VAT are coming – for the many, not the few

That’s a legitimate political agenda, and people are quite welcome to vote for it. But they deserve to know what’s coming.

Phoebe Griffith: To end austerity finally, Johnson needs more than a quick splash of populist spending

The third piece in our series this week about what the Conservative Manifesto should look like.

Nadhim Zahawi: Let’s get Brexit done – and so empower businesses to deliver

Our businesses have the ingenuity, skills and talent to succeed, but they need to know what the future will hold before they can invest, hire and deliver.

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.

Neil O’Brien: Corbynomics – and why it means that your house, business and savings don’t really belong to you

In his eyes, you have them only as long as the Government suffers you to have them, and they can be retrospectively taken away if he sees fit.

Nicky Morgan: The danger of Putin and the danger of populism

Our future Conservative Party leadership needs to address quickly and effectively the problems which have led to the latter’s rise.

Pauline Latham: Why I am voting for McVey

Esther is one of the rare politicians I’ve met who is able to communicate authentically with voters in all parts of the country.

Potemkin legislation

There is a mismatch between Government announcements and Commons realities. It cannot attempt reforms without risking them being amended out of recognition.
