Don’t Stop the Music is a call to protect Britain’s right to joy by putting nightlife, live music and local venues at the centre of how we regenerate towns and cities. The pubs, clubs and grassroots stages at the heart of British culture are being squeezed by rising costs, development pressure and a growing “war on fun”. We set out a practical plan to keep those lights on, from emergency support for last venues standing to new Cultural Districts and a stronger status for music spaces as cultural institutions

You’re the Chancellor for one Budget. Raise the repayment threshold to give graduates relief. Too timid and nothing changes. Too generous and the bond market comes for you. Find the sweet spot.

GGF is taking on a keen test of fairness in British politics: Plan 2 student loans. For 5.5 million graduates, frozen repayment thresholds and soaring interest have turned what was meant to be an income‑contingent contribution into a stealth tax that bites hardest on lower and middle earners. Our Graduate Guarantee - raising the repayment threshold to £33,542 and locking in future inflation‑proofing into legislation - would ease the cost‑of‑living squeeze on graduates, restore trust in higher education and rebuild political support for a system that works for those who use it most.

Read Sundus Abdi’s article in The Guardian, highlighting our analysis that shows a North Card could save commuters up to £276 a year.

We out a bold proposal for a new transport card that unites buses, trams, inter-city coaches and rail across the North of England into a single, best-value fare system. A pan-Northern “tap-and-go” card can unlock higher productivity, reduce regional inequalities, and reflect the public’s strong appetite for deeper cooperation between Northern cities. Designed to align with major infrastructure upgrades and support a future Northern Olympic and Paralympic bid, the North Card is presented as practical, visible infrastructure that connects the region’s cities, towns and villages while underpinning long-term good growth.

Praful introduced the Good Growth Foundation’s Bringing Defence Home agenda, arguing that in a more turbulent world Britain must fuse national security with economic security by backing domestic defence industry, SMEs and cyber resilience. He sets out our proposals for a Defence Bank, stricter incentives on prime contractors and a new focus on local cyber protection, so that every pound of defence spending strengthens sovereign capability, regional economies and lasting security at home.

Defence Secretary John Healey joined the Good Growth Foundation to set out how Labour plans to bring defence home - turning increased defence spending into secure jobs, thriving industries and stronger communities across the UK. He argued that every pound of defence investment must work twice, delivering both the hard power Britain needs in a more dangerous world and the opportunity working families deserve.
