The Conservative Party have talked about the need for a post-Covid reset for the way we think about and structure Britain’s economy - including living within our means, smarter welfare and simpler tax rules, and clearer expectations for what the government should and shouldn’t do.

Using insights from More in Common and the UCL Policy Lab, the panel will debate what that economic reset might mean for the future of Conservative economics and what are voters likely to make of it?
