The Autonomy Institute

NEW REPORT & EVENTS | 'Programme 2029: Building the living standards platform that the UK needs' Thanks to everyone who came to our first Forum 2029 event of the year last night in Bethnal Green 👇

"[The UK's] had arguably the most extreme right-wing policies in Europe on immigration, the Rwanda plan, on culture wars, removing ourselves from the EU." Deputy Director Lena Swedlow shows @LauraBeveridge7 why the 'PR lets extremists in' argument doesn't hold. @PoliticsJOE_UK

The second talk in our 2026 series was fantastic! Robert Dorschel took us through his work on the social class, lifestyles and worldviews of tech workers in the US and Germany. Thanks for Newspeak House for having us! Next talk: April 13th.

"The Right to Food is not merely a moral imperative; it is a sound economic policy in our age of crisis." Chief Exec @w_stronge quoted in this @tribunemagazine piece 👇 buff.ly/HqYzAAQ

I’ve called on the Government to ban the “givers and takers” - donors who bankroll political parties and land Government contracts. It stinks. We need to break this link and restore trust in politics.
