Torsten Bell
"Most of all we want our—and Britain’s—future back"
Torsten Bell is a politician, author and economist currently serving as Labour MP for Swansea West. He was the leader of the Resolution Foundation between 2015 and 2024, a charity working to raise the living standards of low-income households. Writing regularly on issues of poverty and inequality, Bell was a prominent opponent of the September 2022 United Kingdom mini-budget and a critic of the levelling-up policy of the 2019 Conservative government.
Bell's latest book Great Britain? How We Get Our Future Back is a Sunday Times bestseller, offering a clear-eyed portrait of the inequality and stagnant economic growth facing Britain—as well as an optimistic vision of economic growth.
