Frank Young: This election’s Breadline Battleground

Our analysis shows that any political party will struggle to win a working majority if they fail to connect with the poorest voters across Britain.

Rachel Wolf: In defence of Cameron

My local secondary schools were no-go areas and no one from my primary school went to one. That won’t be my children’s experience, and he can take a lot of credit.

Damian Green: The state pension offers us a model for reforming social care

The former Work and Pensions Secretary gives his view in the final article in a three-part mini-series on reform to the adult social care system.

Mark Harper: Social care. It’s not all about the elderly. Let’s meet the needs of disabled people of working age too.

The former Minister for Disabled People contributes the first article in a three-part mini-series on reform to the adult social care system.

Dom Morris: A National Welfare Council, uniting disparate departments and agencies, could greatly alleviate poverty

This strategic approach has brought sizeable benefits in the field of security, and could work for welfare, too.

Ryan Shorthouse: How to add contributions and incentives to the benefits system

Working-aged benefits have been deeply and disproportionately cut. But if the welfare system is to be suitably resourced in the future, the public need to believe it is fair.

Anvar Sarygulov: Here’s how the Government can improve Universal Credit

A ‘helping hand’ payment for new claimants, more disability advisers, and an obligation for the state to pay out on time would all help.

Rachel Wolf: On policy, it’s not the Independent Group that’s driven to the margins. It’s the Conservative Right.

The new group’s platform is not very inspiring. But its biggest problem is it they won’t be very different from the Conservatives’.

The defectors are wrong. The Conservatives aren’t shifting to the right. They are mired in the mixed middle.

No less than the ERG, the group of three sees everything through the prism of Brexit – which, let it not be forgotten, they voted to support themselves.

25 questions about (another) early general election – and the horror show it could be for the Conservatives

The more one thinks about it, the more problematic it becomes.

David Burrowes: It’s time to make work really pay for low-income families

Cripplingly high effective marginal tax rates, and other imbalances, are skewing the tax system against the things we care about.

Dan Watkins: Six reasons why the Conservatives deserved to win that no confidence vote yesterday

It’s not hard to find reasons to be frustrated with the Government, but we are still delivering for the British people.

Gareth Streeter: Three facts which suggest a rise in food bank use is not just down to Universal Credit

If we continue to scapegoat welfare reform, we will never gain the depth of understanding we need to truly make poverty history.

Universal Credit. Noble aim, thorny problems – and Rudd’s decision. If the scheme is to work properly, it must be paid for.

If you appoint Duncan Smith to the post she now holds, as Cameron did in 2010, it follows that you must fund his plan fully.

Five years on, cutting the spare room subsidy has been vindicated

Work has been rewarded. Predictions of rent arrears increasing have been proved false. The number of households penalised has fallen from 660,000 to 381,000.
