Smart Thinking offers a platform for readers to access the latest public policy research and analysis put together by the leading UK think tanks of the day, as a forum for investigation and dialogue, not a mouthpiece for ideology.

In offering this platform, Smart Thinking is curating UK think tank content for the first time, with the aim of stimulating vigorous debate and reaching as wide an audience as possible.

Please note that Smart Thinking does not condone any one view or report in providing this platform. All views are the think tanks' own.
