Building a stronger, fairer, and more sustainable future for all.

Invest in Britain is calling on politicians to start focusing on the long-term interests of the country. This means shifting the UK towards a sustainably higher level of public investment, to build a clean, modern economy which supports families, businesses and communities to prosper and thrive.

The Challenge

  • Economic stagnation

    Britain’s economy is in poor health. In recent years the economy has barely grown, real wages have stalled, and families and businesses are struggling.

  • Global Gap

    In both the public and private sectors Britain invests far less than other countries, and we are regularly at the bottom of the investment league table. This gap is costing us dearly.

  • Consequences

    Underinvestment is taking a heavy toll. Crumbling infrastructure, high NHS waiting times, a housing crisis, and rising inequality.

The Opportunity

  • Unlocking Prosperity

    By investing strategically, we can unleash economic growth, create good jobs, and boost living standards across the country.

  • Decarbonising our Economy

    We can help tackle the climate crisis and build a strong, secure, climate-safe economy by investing in renewable energy and green infrastructure and ensuring a just transition for affected workers and communities.

  • Rebuilding Public Services

    Our healthcare, education, and social care systems are vital to everyone’s well-being. Investing in them ensures high quality public services for generations to come.

The need for public investment is vast. Nowhere is the public sector making essential investments: we live in a land of potholes, a daily symbol of collective lack of belief in the future.
