Theresa May might have realised her goal of stepping into Number 10, but the path ahead will not be easy. Her new government will have to deal with a floundering NHS, gaping inequality between the rich and the poor and mounting pressure to lay out its plan for Britain outside of the EU. The Spectator’s editor Fraser Nelson will chair three fringe events at the Conservative party conference about the future of Britain under Theresa May’s new government.
The first event will be a chance to discuss Theresa May’s pledge outside Downing Street to address inequality in the UK. It will be held on 3 October at 1 pm and is sponsored by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. Heidi Allen MP, a member of the work and pensions committee, Lord James O’Shaughnessy, senior fellow at the Legatum Institute, Andy Silvester, head of campaigns and public affairs at the Institute of Directors, and Julia Unwin, CEO of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, will talk about the opportunities to tackle poverty under a Conservative government.
