"Looking for Growth describes itself as a "political movement" against decline. The fury online is palpable, high-fliers feel undervalued, and 'Britain is Broken' has become the ridiculing punchline enjoyed by American crypto traders and digital nomads. Here though, at a mini arena in Greenwich on a Thursday night, Looking for Growth - LFG - is not a lost cause. Some attendees are unsure exactly what they are going to, but everyone knows what brought them here."
"LFG's description of itself, a "political movement to push Britain out of decline", dodges some of the more pressing questions of what this organisation actually does. Is it a think tank? Its office is near Westminster and it produced a draft bill on planning that influenced Labour ministers. But LFG refuses to adhere to the more well-trodden ways of analysis and dry comms seen at other institutions."
Looking for Growth (LFG) presents itself as a political movement intent on reversing Britain’s decline and prioritising growth above other debates. The group attracts young professionals frustrated with perceived inertia, with some attendees uncertain about the event yet united by shared grievances. LFG blurs organisational categories: it has an office near Westminster, produced a draft planning bill that influenced Labour ministers, and rejects conventional think-tank communications. Leadership includes Dr Lawrence Newport, his brother James and friend Joe Reeve. The group cultivates direct, straight-talking pressure and taps visible anger among a new cohort of activists.
