British Future invite you to attend this post-election briefing event, as we reflect on the outcome of General Election and ask ‘what next?’ for our volatile politics.
This lunchtime briefing will cover the state of the parties post-election, where we are now with Brexit and Parliament, and what this all might mean for the trajectory of immigration policy in the coming year.
British Future will give a short presentation on the new make-up of Parliament before we turn to our panel of thinktankers to hear their reflections and first thoughts, followed by, a short Q & A from the room.
We will also provide a private briefing note on the newest intake of MPs to all attendees.
