What's gone wrong with British politics and what to do? by Dominic Cummings

INSIGHTS Public Lecture

What really happens at the centre of power? Drawing on his experience leading the Vote Leave campaign and working at the heart of government in Number 10, Dominic Cummings will offer his perspective on how government operates behind the scenes, the challenges facing British politics, and the reforms he believes are needed. This talk will offer insights into decision-making at the highest levels of government, followed by an audience Q&A.

Dominic Cummings is a political strategist and former senior adviser to Prime Minister Boris Johnson. He is best known as Campaign Director of Vote Leave, the official campaign that secured victory in the 2016 EU referendum, and later as Chief Adviser in Downing Street from 2019 to 2020. Earlier in his career, he worked on campaigns against UK membership of the euro and played a key role in education reform while advising Michael Gove at the Department for Education. One of the most influential figures in recent British politics, he is widely recognised for his unconventional approach to government, policy and political campaigning.
