Torsten Bell | Great Britain?
Sat 23 Nov 2024 | 8:00pm – 9:00pm
Things haven’t been going great for Britain. With wages flatlining and public services collapsing, it’s no surprise our children can’t afford to buy homes, our parents aren’t receiving acceptable social care, and our neighbours rely on foodbanks.
Torsten Bell MP wants to change Britain’s trajectory. Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation, an enormously respected and influential economic research charity working to raise the living standards of households on low to middle incomes, Bell offers lucid diagnosis of Britain’s decline.
This treasure trove of original analysis is a much-needed antidote to the pervading sense that Britain’s decline is inevitable or irreversible. Join Bell as he presents his hopeful vision for a future worth fighting for.
