Can Boris Johnson's government deliver its priorities?
Two years ago, Boris Johnson was elected on a promise to \u2018get Brexit done\u2019 and \u2018level up\u2019 the UK. Then Covid-19 struck and dominated government time, energy and resources. But with the worst of the crisis now passed, and with the UK having left the EU, where will ministers turn their attention in the second half of the parliament \u2013 and is the government well set up to deliver its priorities?\n\nIs Brexit really \u2018done\u2019? Do the government\u2019s \u2018net zero\u2019 plans add up? Does more need to be done to support the post-pandemic economic recovery? And how will the government turn its flagship \u2018levelling up\u2019 slogan into reality?\n\nThe Institute for Government was delighted to bring together the following expert panel to reveal the inner workings of government \u2013 and discuss whether Boris Johnson\u2019s administration is well-placed to deliver its manifesto promises:\n\nKelly Beaver, Chief Executive of Ipsos MORI\nStephen Bush, Political Editor at the New Statesman\nDan Corry, Chief Executive of New Philanthropy Capital and former Head of the No.10 Policy Unit\nJill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government.\nThe event was chaired by Alex Thomas, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.\n\nWe would like to thank PA Consulting for supporting this event.
