h. The first 100 days: Has the new government got its priorities right for kick-starting Britain?

1345-1500, Wednesday 2 October 2024 | Watershed, Bristol

The first 100 days of the new UK government will serve as a barometer for Starmer’s economic and public policy aims. Join our panel as they debate the new administration’s first 100 days and consider what the initial priorities mean for the future. The panel will discuss the strategic decisions, policy implementations, and economic measures taken during this critical period and what they mean for the long-term success of the country. The event will review changes in economic and public policy, to explore how the new government’s actions set the stage for its term and how they might influence the UK's trajectory.

Speakers: Richard Davies (Economics Observatory, chair), Arun Advani (University of Warwick), Gavin Kelly (Resolution Foundation), Helen Simpson (University of Bristol)
