The UK faces a longstanding housing shortage. Analysts suggest this has been compounded by the recent rise in migration, which has increased pressure on existing stock, raised prices and placed home ownership beyond the reach of many. This raises an important question: how far can the current housing crisis be attributed to the immigration system, and what level of housebuilding is still required to address it?

Welfare spending is out of control, with the total bill on track to eclipse the entire defence budget. At the same time, long-term economic inactivity is climbing. The welfare system is no longer a safety net, more a way of life - yet anyone who proposes reform is accused of attacking vulnerable people. How can a future government eradicate the dependency culture and bring bills down?

Everyone agrees the public finances are on a disastrous trajectory, with spending on everything from welfare to defence, health to debt set to rise. Robert Jenrick and Nigel Farage have said we need huge savings - but where are they going to come from? Join our panel to discuss how we can stop Britain going bust.

The radical Left is on the rise, with fewer than 25% of young people having a positive view of capitalism and absurd socialist policies treated as genuine solutions to what ails Britain. Meanwhile, mainstream politicians pay lip service to growth but are not willing to do what it takes to deliver it. Join our panel to discuss how we can make the case for capitalism, both to secure the growth we need and as a moral necessity.
