Andy Street: The BBC’s Birmingham plans represent a cultural levelling up that this country needs

There are very, very few shows where you can see life here on your screens, or hear our accents.

Neil O’Brien: Lessons we can learn from fast-growing countries to help us to grow faster

Japan, Korea, Taiwan and now China, have all invested heavily in new technologies – through government support for new industries.

Jonathan Werran: The Union and the English question. The answer is to let a hundred localist flowers bloom

The first in a five-part ConHome series this week on the future of the United Kingdom.

John Stevenson: Property tax reform is key to levelling up the country and the Conservatives’ electoral chances

Council tax and stamp duty are confusing, unpopular, unequal and unfair – so it’s time to replace them.

Ben Southwood: The Government’s housing plans need to be refined – not scrapped. They will work if the detail is got right.

These figures will change substantially in the final version of the algorithm, especially because it will take into account green belt restrictions.

Neil O’Brien: The next algorithm disaster – coming to a Conservative constituency near you. This time, it’s housing growth.

Andrew Mitchell: I used to be adamantly opposed to all forms of assisted dying. Here’s why I’ve changed my mind.

I hesitate to disagree with Daniel Finkelstein, but city growth has been powered more by smalltown commuters than flat-cap wearing uber-boheminans.

Alexander Stafford: PPE – and how our throwaway culture is endangering our national security

The production of reusable PPE in such places as Rother Valley would tie in with the North’s vital role in the UK’s green recovery.

James Blagden: How to level up – and get growth going across the whole of the country

We can’t continue to favour projects such as Crossrail over developing infrastructure in other parts of the country which generate much greater relative returns.

John Fareham: The Humberside mindset must go

It was a failed county. An abomination of the 1972 Local Government Act. Yet bureaucrats keep trying to revive it by stealth.

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.
