Jon Cruddas is in the news for leading the National Conversation on British Identity with Sajid Javid—MP for Dagenham & Rainham, Labour veteran.
The Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion has launched the National Conversation to map what it means to be British and how communities connect. Co‑chaired by Sajid Javid and Jon Cruddas, the project seeks public input to shape long‑term policy, with concerns that funding gaps and hollowing-out of local government could limit impact.
