Backing the Grafters: Britain's New Political Economy

​This event launches An Honest Day – A New Economic Settlement for Britain, a new report from figures within the Labour Growth Group. Authored by Director Mark McVitie, with Chair Chris Curtis MP and others, it sets out a new centre-left diagnosis of Britain's challenges along with a doctrine and political direction to answer them. Proposing a practical plan for Britain's economy: backing grafters, rewarding action over position and restoring trust.

​Taking place in the immediate aftermath of the May elections, we're looking to bring people together to ask what needs to change, and how to deliver it.

​From living standards and housing to regulation, investment, and state capacity, the discussion will explore the pressures facing both households and employers, and set out the case for a new settlement built on work, taking initiative, and the active rebuilding of British state capability.
