Join me and fellow Guardian journalists as we explore how Labour could shape the country

Hello reader,
The next UK general election is looming, and if the polls are right, Britain is headed for its first Labour government in 14 years. So what should we expect from Keir Starmer in power?
From the persisting cost of living crisis to crumbling public services and the task of getting to net zero, the incoming government would inherit some daunting challenges left behind by years of austerity and political mayhem under the Tories. With Labour now facing a unique opportunity to change the country, what are – and what should be – the core principles driving their agenda to address these?
On Tuesday 16 April, I’ll be chairing a special livestreamed event with a panel of Guardian journalists and experts, including the Guardian political correspondent Kiran Stacey; the Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee; Lord Falconer, former shadow attorney general under Keir Starmer as well as lord chancellor under Tony Blair; and Tom Baldwin, the author of a new biography of Keir Starmer. Join us for the inside track on the people, the ideas and the events that might shape Labour in power.
Book your tickets here.
I hope to see you there.
