Talking to Students at Esher College

On Friday, I went to Esher College to talk to a full theatre of students at Esher College, including over 100 politics students. I spoke to the pupils about why I went into politics, my optimistic vision of a post-Brexit Britain and ways to make the economy work for everyone, including raising the national insurance employees’ contribution threshold and cutting the basic tax rate of income tax.

I took questions from students on the economy, free trade, the environment, LGBT rights, Brexit and workers’ rights.

My thanks to Meir Shabat, Head of Government and Politics at Esher College for the kind invitation. It was great to have an opportunity to engage with the next generation of voters, and hear their views.
