At a cross-party event in Parliament, Policy Exchange launched a new report, The Age of Incivility: Understanding the New Politics, and a new Civility Hub aimed at analysing the worst examples of abuse which coarsen our public discourse. Former EHRC Chairman Trevor Phillips, who co-authored the report, chaired a debate with Rt Hon Nicky Morgan MP, Jacob Rees-Mogg MP, FT journalist Sebastian Payne and Labour activist Emily Benn.
Policy Exchange also launched a call for evidence, asking anyone active in public life – from the national to the local level – who feels they have been subjected to uncivil, or extreme forms of abuse to contact us. Please email: callforevidence@policyexchange.org.uk.
