Book Launch: Act Now - A Vision for a Better Future and a New Social Contract
We live in an age of crisis and decline. The Right presents 'solutions' that only worsen the situation, driving a downward cycle in which desperation leads to despair. But the Left is also to blame: progressive politicians have consistently failed to recognise both the urgency of people's need and their receptiveness to new solutions.
Northumbria University’s Common Sense Policy Group will launch ‘Act Now: A Vision for a Better Future and a New Social Contract’ an inspiring manifesto offering a better vision for Britain. The book launch takes place on Friday 12 July, 3pm.
