There’s a new working class in Britain that has evolved in the past 30 years, and so far politics have failed to effectively respond to this steadily changing tide. In her book, The New Working Class, Claire Ainsley proposes practical recommendations for political parties to reconnect with the electorate and regain trust.
In a conversation chaired by Anne-Marie Canning, Ainsley will be in discussion with writers Kate Fox and Sabrina Mahfouz, examining issues of class as it intersects with race and social mobility, and answering the questions: what does it mean to be working class today, and how can politics be more representative of this growing group?
