About this listen

Welcome to Drivers of Growth – presented by the Social Market Foundation, Britain’s leading cross-party think tank.


In this series – powered by Blackstone – we’ll be diving deep into the minds of the policymakers shaping the future of our economy. Chatting to a secretary of state, minister, or their shadows, SMF Director Theo Bertram explores what drives them, what Keir Starmer’s growth mission is about, and what they believe the government should be doing to drive growth.

    In conversation with Alison McGovern, the Minister for Employment
    Sep 27 2024

    This week, we’re getting straight to the heart of the UK’s economic future. Our host, Theo Bertram, Director of the Social Market Foundation, sits down with Alison McGovern, the UK’s Minister for Employment.


    They’ll dive deep into her ideas and plans to kickstart growth and unleash opportunities across the country. From revitalising our Jobcentres to strengthening workers rights', McGovern shares her vision to put the UK back on the global economic map.


    But it’s not just policy talk — we also learn about McGovern's own motivations to get into politics, what the historic election night felt like, and what it like growing up in Merseyside.


    There's a sneak peek into our next episode, with the Health Secretary Wes Streeting, for those sticking around until the end!
