Since our Future of Britain Conference on 30 June, the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) has published a number of policy papers to help Britain tackle the challenges it faces – from how to save the NHS to radical ideas to futureproof education. We will be discussing our proposals with leading political figures and experts at the party conferences later this month.

You can catch up on our latest reports here.

Covering a range of issues, our events will explore how we can achieve a better UK-EU working relationship; what an agenda for growth should look like; the role of technology in public-service reform and more. We are delighted to be joined in these discussions by politicians from the main political parties as well as a range of experts, including Wes Streeting MP, Michael Gove MP, Alison McGovern MP, the Economist’s Soumaya Keynes, Lord Willetts, the Times’s Rachel Sylvester, Peter Kyle MP, Pat McFadden MP, Lucy Yu of the Centre for Net Zero and many more.
