About this event
In this event, Jeremy Hunt will argue that getting out of Britain’s low growth is a solvable problem, and that we should approach the country’s economic future with optimism.
He will be in conversation with Ritula Shah, formerly of BBC Radio 4. Come along, join the conversation and ask a question.
Hunt asks these questions: How deliverable are the changes we need by a Labour, Conservative or Reform government? How do we get the economy growing despite dangerous levels of debt? How do we sell long term reforms when our leaders have so little political capital? But he says countering pessimism needs solutions not just assertions, and they need to be realistic ‒ plans that politicians can actually deliver in a democratic system and the majority of the electorate can get behind.
This event is an external hire.
