For the first time ever, Guido Fawkes is partnering with the Institute of Economic Affairs for an exclusive panel debate in the heart of Westminster on 1st June. Is Britain Broken?
Britain’s economic record over the past decade and a half makes for uncomfortable reading. Productivity growth has flatlined. Real wages have barely recovered from the 2008 crash. The tax burden is at its highest since the post-war era. The welfare and pensions bills keep climbing. Meanwhile debates over free speech, crime, and immigration continue to divide the political and policy debate.
But is Britain really broken? Are we witnessing temporary policy failures while the overarching story is more positive, or is something deeper going wrong? And crucially: what, if anything, can be done about it?

Speaking to Adam Boulton on Times Radio about kicking the Golders Green suspect, Heidi Alexander said:
“I thought that if I was in the shoes of that police officer, then if I’m honest, given the situation, and the fact that he had a backpack on his back, and they were worried about whether that might go off, I could, if I was a police officer, frankly, I could see myself having taken similar action.”
