Britain is facing uncertainty, threats and risk: a new Prime Minister, new political landscape, at home and abroad. But how much will change? How To Run Britain is a plea to own what's gone wrong and make courageous reforms - from the way we manage the economy to how we vote. Over the past fifteen years, British living standards have stagnated, inequality between - and within - communities has grown rampant, politicians have lost credibility and the trust of the nation. Millions say they are unheard, victimised even. A far-right racist minority feels entitled to riot. But what do those problems really mean - and how do we fix them? How can politicians win back the nation's trust? Peston and Koria's argument is simple: first, we must interrogate everything that has gone wrong, and build solutions from there. We should take the lessons learned from the past and build a strategic plan for restoring economic, political and social security to the country we know and love.
