This week on The Insurgency, Steve and Harry are joined by three of Westminster’s soundest minds: Maxwell Marlow from the Adam Smith Institute, Emma Revell from the Centre for Policy Studies, and William Yarwood from the TaxPayers’ Alliance. The three discuss what their think tanks do, how ideas become policy, and whether the UK’s public finances are sustainable. They consider which policies matter most and whether any party looks likely to deliver serious reform.
