Re:Think - Bold ideas to remake the State

Read the full report  

Published to mark the launch of Re:State, this collection of short essays brings together a cross-party group of politicians, thought leaders, and public figures to make the case for radical reform of the State.

Authors include former Cabinet Secretary Lord Mark Sedwill, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, former Cabinet Minister Lord Michael Gove, Labour Growth Group Co-Chair Chris Curtis MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero Claire Coutinho, former director of policy to Keir Starmer Claire Ainsley and leading economists Paul Johnson, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, and Lord Jim O’Neill. 

These contributors ask fundamental questions about the shape
and role of the State: the distribution of power, the future of the social contract, and the best path to reformed public services, trusted institutions, and effective governance.
