...more ambitious policies, vital though those are. It needs to unify rather than divide and to offer hope rather than despair. And one of the most effective ways of doing I think is by telling more compelling stories about who we are, and who we can be."

In November 2023 The Breakup of Britain? Conference was held in Edinburgh's Assembly Rooms.
Caroline Lucas was the first speaker in our opening plenary where she said:

We need to change the way we do politics. We are calling for a radical shift. We must bring together progressive voices and build a movement for change.

In 2023, we brought "The Breakup of Britain?" to Edinburgh to discuss the UK's democratic crisis.
We are now fast approaching the Holyrood elections and that crisis is a reality for communities the length and breadth of Scotland. They are scunnered by the current system and desperate for change.
Panel of speakers engaged in conversation on the stage at The Breakup of Britain?: a conference salute to Tom Nairn.
In November 2023, we gathered more than 700 people together at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh to debate and discuss the UK's democratic crisis. Inspired by the late Tom Nairn, we brought together politicians, poets, academics, commentators and citizens to ask: What comes next?
