Event details

Join award-winning Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee and David Walker,former director of public reporting at the Audit Commission, as they argue that the Cameron coalition used the financial crisis as a pretext for realising a longstanding political ambition to dismantle the postwar welfare and social policy settlement, going further than Margaret Thatcher dared. Blending statistics and reportage, they ask whether these damaging changes are now irreversible.
