Navigating 2022: Navigating volatile politics
Event type: WebinarDate: 03/02/2022
Location: Online
Who will be at No 10 come the local elections in May, and who will be celebrating their results? Could we see the first ethnic minority PM? Could Gove succeed in his brief to level up towns and cities across the UK? And what about Britain’s sense of identity and place in a post-Brexit, post-pandemic world, with the Jubilee and a winter World Cup ahead this year?
As we settle into 2022, join British Future for the return of our Navigating Volatile Politics series, which kicks off this Thursday 3rd February with an online discussion with Ryan Shorthouse, Andrew Harrop and Sunder Katwala, chaired by our own Heather Rolfe. We will try to make sense of it all as we seek to navigate this year and what’s to come from the ever-changing British political landscape.
Chatham House Rules. Invite only.
Speakers:
- Andrew Harrow, General Secretary, Fabians Society
- Ryan Shorthouse, Director Bright Blue
- Sunder Katwala, Director, British Future
- Chaired by Heather Rolfe, British Future.
Date & Time: Thursday 3rd Feb 2022, 1pm – 2.15pm
