Anand Menon and Matt Bevington: Will Johnson really be able to level up?

Our research with low-income voters in some of these areas revealed that many are not expecting miracles. They simply want better local services.

James Heywood: The case for public sector pay restraint is founded on fairness

The Government will need to think carefully about how any change to policy is presented, and the approach should be nuanced and flexible.

Neil O’Brien: The plans we must make now to ensure that our ship doesn’t hit the rocks

These are my starters for ten – so it’s over to you. What are the biggest choices? What are the problems that we have to get ahead of to keep afloat?

Ryan Bourne: If you want to feed hungry children, don’t target food poverty. Aim to reduce poverty as a whole.

Together with tax cuts and less regulation, higher or more extensive benefits look like better support for hungry children than vouchers.

Our campaign for Government assessments of lockdown effects on lives and livelihoods begins to pay off

If this morning’s reports are correct, Sunak should be congratulated for starting to take action.

Alex Morton: How Sunak can save £30 billion a year

The first group of savings are about making the state more efficient, the second about creating a state focused on the core tasks of government.

David Willetts: The Government is wrong to propose cutting back on Universal Credit while the triple lock remains untouched

And when it comes to paying for the crisis measures, as we must, taxes must not fall on younger workers.

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.
