Volatile Politics Roundtable: Dealing with no-deal and political uncertainty
Event type:Date:
Location:
Join us for the latest in our Volitile Politics Series of events. This two-part roundtable, chaired by Russell Hargrave, will consider the implications of no-deal and the unpredictable politics of the autumn for the migration sector.
Panelists
In part one we will hear from Joe Owen (Institute for Government) and Minnie Rahman (The Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants), who will both be discussing the implications of a no-deal Brexit.
In part two, British Future’s Director, Sunder Katwala will give a brief presentation on the broader topic of volatility in British politics and a possible forthcoming General Election. He will also present some unique insights using poll findings from British Future’s Immigration After May report.
This is a joint event between RAMP & British Future.
This is an invite-only event due to capacity constraints. Please contact lucy@britishfuture.org with any questions you may have.
