- **Event Description**: Liam Byrne sets out what is driving the rise of populism, and what can be done about it.About this EventAbout the eventAuthoritarian populists now govern one-quarter of the world's democracies. But is this peak populism, or the populists' tipping point? Liam Byrne exposes the forces propelling the populist surge and reveals how to stop it. He outlines populism's five tribes and shows which voters can still be won back. He traces the millions of pounds flowing into Britain's populist media-political complex, and maps the rhetoric that populists use to weaponise fear and nostalgia. He explains why simply shouting louder from the political mainstream never works and instead makes the case for rebuilding a confident, values-driven radical centre – one that tackles inequality head-on, restores economic dignity and reconnects with communities who feel unseen.This event is open to all.Speaker biographyThe Rt Hon Liam Byrne MP is a British Labour Party politician, a member of His Majesty’s Privy Council and the Chair of the House of Commons Business and Trade Select Committee.
