Modern statecraft, policy making, tax and public services are all subjects up for discussion in the latest round of Labour’s ‘One Nation’ policy review seminars, plus something called ‘One Nation Football’, a discussion of support and community ownership in the game.
Guardian journalist David Conn and David Lampitt, chief executive of Supporters’ Direct, are two of the speakers at that meeting next Monday, while figures from parliament, think tanks, institutes and academia feature in the other workshops, all of which take place in House of Commons committee rooms.
The full details released by Labour’s One Nation Register are:
