SUMMARY:The first 100 days: Has the new government got its priorities right for kick-starting Britain?
DESCRIPTION:The first 100 days of the new UK government serves as a barometer for Starmer’s economic and public policy aims. Our panel of experts debates the new administration’s first 100 days and considers what the initial priorities mean for the future. The session explores 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. Panelists 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. \nChaired by Richard Davies (Economics Observatory\, chair)\, with Gavin Kelly (Resolution Foundation)\, Stuart McIntyre (University of Strathclyde)\, Adrian Pabst (NIESR)\, Helen Simpson (University of Bristol).
