Party Conference Fringe Events in 2019
Last year we hosted successful events at both the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester and Labour Party Conference in Brighton.
At Conservative Party Conference we hosted a joint event with Conservative Home discussing ‘When is Immigration Good for Britain?‘. We heard from Alberto Costa MP, now former MEP Dan Hannan, former Home Office Special Advisor, Salma Shah and British Future’s Director Sunder Katwala, whilst Conservative Home’s Mark Wallace chaired the event. You can read more about this event here.
Our event at Labour Party Conference saw our panel discuss ‘How Can Labour Find its Voice on Immigration?’. A packed room heard from Labour MPs, Paul Blomfield and Lisa Nandy as well from Stephen Hale of Refugee Action, Wilf Sullivan from the TUC and Alexandra Bulat from the 3Million. You can read more about our event here.

"Strengthening social cohesion could never be the work of govt alone – but a stronger framework for what public policy can contribute could help unlock the broader civic response that we need too." @sundersays for @EasternEye on Sara Khan's cohesion review https://www.easterneye.biz/dame-sara-khan-review-social-cohesion/
"Responses that support asylum-seekers are possible and even effective, improving outcomes for both people seeking asylum and the communities in which they live," argues @mweihmayer for @LSEpoliticsblog referencing new @britishfuture asylum toolkit
