I was delighted to present my most recent research on 'Conservatism and Mental Health Policy Across the UK' at Old College, University of Edinburgh. The core findings suggest that Conservative parties across the UK diverge in their approaches to mental health policy.

Parliament Street Uniting the Kingdom Event
I was delighted to organise and chair the Uniting the Kingdom event on behalf of Parliament Street. It is so important in these turbulent times that we find our commonalities and overcome what divides us. The event aimed to focus on domestic policies that we all care about and bring people together through discussions on how to move our United Kingdom forward.
