Andy Burnham’s campaign to return to Westminster has pushed reform of the UK’s constitution up the political agenda. This expert panel steps back from the fast-moving political fallout of the Makerfield by-election to ask what comes next for constitutional reform. What do we know so far about Burnham’s agenda in this area? What does past experience tell us about the practical challenges for delivering such an agenda? And – ahead of a forthcoming Constitution Unit report – what broader constitutional issues deserve renewed attention from any new or continuing Prime Minister? 

Speakers: Frances Foley – Our Common Home, formerly Deputy Director of Compass

Dr Catherine Haddon – Senior Fellow, Institute for Government

Lisa James – Senior Research Fellow, UCL Constitution Unit 

Chair: Dr Tom Fleming – Deputy Director of the Constitution Unit
