Blighty

Get exclusive analysis of Britain’s political and policy agenda. Sir Keir Starmer led the Labour Party to a thumping victory in the general election in July, but can the new government fix the economy and the public services? Will the Tories reinvent themselves in opposition? And how big a threat is Reform UK to mainstream political parties?

In this weekly subscriber-only newsletter, The Economist’s correspondents turn their gaze on the newspaper’s home country, and ask what can be done to ignite an economy that has forgotten how to grow and to mend a political system that has been scarred by years of chaos.
