Public sector reform should be easiest for Labour to do, precisely because it is Labour
This government behaves as if it is being run as a riposte to Nigel Farage rather than because it believes in anything
People used to seek sun, fresh air and respite — but we have forgotten the lost art of convalescence at our peril

The next election may be fought as much on how safe people feel as on the economy
The long roar of speculation about the Budget has already damaged market confidence
A lack of political will has turned the problem of too many out of work into a system that fails everyone

At a time of political turmoil elsewhere, Britain should be offering stability
Too many of this government’s proposals introduce the kind of regulation the PM professes to hate
Hope is not built on over-reach or abandoning conservative principles
If the bill does go through, it is so narrowly drawn that few people will qualify
Research shows the human brain can’t cope with doing too much at once, so don’t take that meeting while you dog walk
