Hot topics, hard choices

After a not-so-quiet summer, MPs are returning from recess to a torrent of public policy challenges. Immigration remains the public’s top concern, with the economy and the NHS not far behind. Defence has also climbed the list – with the extra spending it brings adding to already daunting public finance pressures. Decisions on these issues come with unavoidable trade-offs; at a time when the parties will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on their own performance in the polls.

What are the biggest public policy challenges facing the UK? Which of these are most important to the public? What are the options for addressing these, in the immediate and long-term? And what might the implications of potential decisions the Government make on these be?

The Resolution Foundation and UK in a Changing Europe are hosting an in-person and interactive webinar to debate and answer these questions. The organisations have partnered to produce Policy Landscape 2025; a series of evidence led, research-based assessments of the key issues facing politicians. At this event we will hear from leading experts on key highlights from the report on the public policy challenges facing the UK, and how politicians could respond.
