State of the State 2026 launch

The 'State of the State', in partnership with Deloitte, is a flagship publication exploring the key issues and opportunities facing public services. The report is based on an exclusive lpsos public poll, and around 100 interviews with public sector leaders. These provide both an insider’s view of public services, and a citizen's view of public priorities and how those services are functioning. This is an exciting year, with a new Government committed to recovery and reform.  

Speakers:

  • Chris Curtis MP, Co-Chair of the Labour Growth Group
  • Chris Smyth, Public Policy Editor, Financial Times 
  • Rachel Charlton, Partner, Deloitte to explore this year’s findings.
