We are joined in our latest edition of BM Talks by Mark Mcvitie, Director of the Labour Growth Group. With around 100 Labour MPs as members, the group is 'committed to tearing down the barriers to growth'. Mark worked in communications in the financial services sector before moving into political campaigning. 

We asked: 

• What is the Labour Growth Group's core mission? 
• How does it work with other Labour factions? 
• Is it a "pro-Starmer" group? 
• In the lead up to the Budget, what tax reforms would you recommend to unlock growth?
• Does the OBR need reform to help bring growth?
• Can any government create growth given the fiscal constraints?
• How does the Labour Party respond to an electorate looking for political disruption?
